My ex boo’s bruh is an anesthesiologist in the Northwestern Hospital near/in Gold Coast…he informs me that our murder rates are very much underweighted now because of our battlefield learned knowledge of how to deal with battlefield traumas/ from the mid-east wars …murders would be much higher now if treated with 1980 s level response
Prolly should be measuring shots per square mile or shots per 100k as a basis for comparison for the crime activity level but that doesnt’ soften the pain for survivors of any dead
I buy that. But I would think that applies nationwide, not just to Chicago.
Keep your head on a swivel!
We also have a band of roaming purse bandits terrorizing all the North Shore malls.
At least 7 thieves make off with purses from Bloomingdale's in Skokie: police
CAUGHT ON CAMERA: A group of thieves struck a Bloomingdale's in suburban Chicago on Monday.
I was doing a time based comparison ….not a geographic comparison. But no one can deny Chicago’s ER response to Gun violence has been more practiced than many other cities.
Lightfoot is asking for Feds, Trump offered her Feds she said kick rocks.
This evil stupid bitch is playing politics with peoples lives.
Asking for the feds to do what exactly? All I noticed lately is she's asking for feds to intervene in a shootout case where Foxx couldn't find charges.
So what is the tip over event into a state of emergency? By some numbers or when it hits Northiside hoods?
I have friends that stay on the South Side …South Shore…George Floyd riots rampaged up and down Stony Island Ave….I reported such to my North Shore friends ….one said he subscribes to multiple Chicago news venues ..(but not the Southtown Economist)and he told me none of it was reported on news venues. seems it was a story being so,d as mostly “peaceful protests“
Surprised this didn't happen in Chicago

WATCH: Driver backs up on Ohio highway after missing exit
Ohio transportation officials shared a video online to teach a lesson after a driver was caught making a dangerous move on camera.

I'm pretty sure state of emergencies were called last summer during the rounds of rioting that happened. But it is hitting the Northside hoods now, hence Pritzker paying it lip service.

Chicago City Council set to start a pilot program with UBI (actually, it's "guaranteed" basic income, so I doubt they want it to be universal). They are randomly selecting people making less than $35K a year and will give them $500/month and then will track the spending. Money is coming from federal aid for COVID relief.
The Black Caucus wants the $31+ million to go towards violence prevention.
It would be interesting to see which of those two options might reduce violence the most. I think lifting people out of poverty would lower the violence rate in these Chicago neighborhoods, but maybe not as much as a "violence prevention program?"

I too believe lifting people out of poverty would lower the violence rate. Unfortunately, $500 won't do much, particularly with the rising cost of basic necessities.
I can't wait for Doc to come and tell us all how great of a job she's doing.
Don't underestimate how stupid Chicagoans are when voting in local elections.
I know quite a few South Side blacks that are older, well-funded and tick more of the conservative boxes than the other political persuasions. A few attend (or attended) Reverend Wright‘s church. They have serious conversations about putting National Guard or Police snipers on rooftops in high shooting rate areas. Tie them into the shot fired system as a means to violence prevention. The intimidation factor would be huge. As Charles Barkley once said, “ I am going to shoot the first guy my daughter dates so the word is on the street”. Sounds cray to most , but we don’t live it everyday.
