More Than 60 People Shot In Chicago Over July 4th Weekend

How does Chiraq ... I mean Chicago celebrate a weekend holiday?  They shoot and/or kill people.  What does their failure of a mayor say about it?  It's the fault of every other politician but him, because laws are too lax.

Maybe WE should build the wall.

It would appear that our friends in Britain have decided that with the potential of Donald Trump being elected President in the USA  this fall , that we in Canada are indeed going to need a wall built along our border, brick by brick. They have started a campaign there as seen in this video. http://videosift.com/video/Bricking-It-For-Canada

 

After viewing the video, be sure to visit the "Bricking It For Canada" web site here and add a brick or two yourself

I love Chicago, but man, that city is corrupt, and effed. I checked the stats when I returned home from 2 separate visits and over 12 people were murdered during my stay. I was only there for a total of 2 and a half weeks! The closest one was only 2 blocks away. It's crazy to think about.

 

Damn, I still love Chicago though.

In 2014 there were 14 homicides over the 4th of July weekend, so this year we did see reduction in killings.

America is a scary place. Havent traveled there since 2006 (other than a couple trips to Buffalo)

In Chicago, as  long as you stay away from gang infested areas, you should be fine.

In 2014 80% of all homicides in Chicago were gang related, 400 out of 499.

Majority of crime occurs on west and southside, few tourists go there.

Congratulations? :huh:

It went from 14 to 10 to 5 in last three years, presence of 5000 police officers helped reduce murders this weekend.

As long as we have some 600 gangs with around 70 000 members, these numbers won't go down.

We can't blame cops and politicians for every murder, eventually communities and people need to step up and take responsibility.

So hard to believe considering Chicago has some of the toughest gun laws in America.
