After a bloody August saw homicides climb to a 20-year high, a deadly Labor Day weekend sent Chicago’s 2016 homicides soaring past 500, surpassing total murders for 2015 with four months still left in the year.
In all, 65 people were shot during the holiday weekend, 31 of them between 6 a.m. Monday and 3 a.m. Tuesday, The Chicago Tribune reported. The 13 killed brought the city’s skyrocketing homicide total to 512 – already well past the 491 logged in 2015.
"It is a complex problem with multidimensional facets to it," Mayor Rahm Emanuel said on Friday of Chicago's homicide rate. "It's not just about more police, but it will include that. But it's also about more resources for our children, more resources for our neighborhoods and stiffer laws that reflect the values of our city."
The scores of dead and wounded in the early days of September follow 90 homicides in August, tied for Chicago’s deadliest month since June 1996.
Nearly 3,000 people have been shot this year, according to data analyzed by The Tribune. That includes several deadly celebratory periods in 2016: 69 shot (six dead) during Memorial Day weekend and 66 shot (five dead) during the Fourth of July weekend.
Police attribute the spike in gun crime during the tail end of the Labor Day weekend to retaliatory gang acts, the Tribune reported.
In contrast, New York and Los Angeles had 409 homicides combined through late August.

And yet White America refuses to do anything about it! This is what happens when you have highly segregated pockets of poverty in our inner-cities. This is what happens when you have failing schools that can't educate young boys of color! This is what happens when police oppress communities rather than serve them. Lastly, we are failing to do anything about gun control, even though it would save lives in Chicago! Systemic racism is all around us, yet people refuse to believe that there is a problem.

Just saw a BBC report on this.

Chicago's gun laws are some of the strictest in the country

Indeed! Which explains the sky high murder rate in Indiana just across the state line from Chicago.
Oh, wait...

Face it. We're dumping truck loads of money into black neighborhoods and black "education"; you can't take the nigger out of a nigger.

Serious question?
Why would ANYONE live in or near Chicago?

All schools are left. Guns laws are strict. Chicago has been blue for some time. Wanna fix it? Vote trump and have people work for their shit instead of depending on the govt for everything.

What did you expect from Obama's "social organizing"? This organizing activity qualified him for the white house, but don't let the results confuse you...no wonder he thought he could "contain" Isis. He thought it was dealing with Gangster Disciples...

I bet that fucking kike posts here. How could you sit in that chair, act this way and not genuinely want niggers to live in pain and die violently?
Owen Lopez
Its an old video so the source is probably unknown. It was a robbery or something and the robber got chopped in the neck with a machete.
Jonathan James
Even the gangster interviewed said that people should shooting each other because "there's too many niggas out here"
Dominic Baker
It's segregated as hell and people who don't live in the southwest side have no idea this is going on other than what's in the headlines just like you.

Yea somehow Indiana and Virginia don't have as high murder rates as Chicago or DC even though Indiana and Virginia have more legal guns.
here is your answer, i hope you will read it and feel bad about making such an autistic, cancerous comment: >no gangs in Indiana aka whitesville >nearly zero gun control or liberalism there Hmmm, i wonder where the MULTIPLE Chicago area gangs are getting their guns from?

Im going to be kind in this comment to you because, for whatever reason, I feel that you are uninformed on this subject, rather than just plain stupid. So, take it ffrom someone like me who was born and raised in chicago (not the suburbs either, in the heart of the north side)... The violence is comically NONEXISTENT in MOST chicago neighborhoods. Im not kidding either. Basically, if you have money (meaning if you can afford to live even modestly) then you can live the GOOOOOD life in chicago. Even with a 55k/Year job, you can HAPPILY live your entire life in chicago without EVER even seeing any violence at all. Unfortunately, so many of us (including myself but not anymore because i moved to a nice suburb after 20 years in the city) we cant afford the Rent in the city's nice (white) neighborhoods. The violence, specifically is located iin 1-2 neighborhoods SOUTH and WEST of the city, where, ironically, the rent is cheaper and it takes only 15-30 minutes to commute to the city. The neighborhoods where the violence occurs are nearly 99% black, so if you are not black (im not) then guess what? You will NEVER go to those neighborhoods cuz you dont know any fucking body there and have no need to go there anyway! Seriously, don't lump the good parts in with the trash. Here's a tip for anyone looking to move here: If you can afford $800/month rent for a Zero Bedroom Studio apartment, then there are PLENTY of GOOD (white) neighborhoods literally 5 minutes away from the heart of Downtown Chicago that you can live in. I know because a girl I once dated lived in one. Yes she was white, duh. Sometimes it feels like gentrification arrived in chicago before segregation did.
Jordan Hernandez
and have chicago's economy go further into the tank than it is now due to all the illegals being kicked out of the country by trump? do you even have a brain?
Jose Gray
Gee I wonder where the whites live
Zachary Foster
>The violence is comically NONEXISTENT in MOST chicago neighborhoods.
It's the same here in metro Detroit (and everywhere else in the nation).
The city has averaged 400 murders per year since the 1970s while the predominantly White surrounding suburbs, rarely have any at all and when we do end up with a murder, it's almost always a nigger from Detroit getting killed by another nigger from Detroit on our side of 8 Mile Rd.
Asher Peterson
Who cares? They dont pay taxes mow your own fucking lawn
Christian Richardson
Crossing over from the City of Chicago on the southeast side into Gary you enter an area with a much higher crime rate.
Owen Turner
in its most simplistic, basic form: YES. But there are reasons for every action or behavior by anyone. But nobody on this site cares about those because everyone just gets a good laugh from MUH DINDU IZ DOIN NUTHINNNN... But if you're smart, and for some reason I think you MIGHT BE, then you already know the problem is more complex and nuanced than that.
Kayden Fisher
when's the last time you rolled your own burrito? or cleaned your work bathroom at your job? or flipped that chicken patty in the sandwich you stuffed your fat face with this morning?
Jonathan Robinson
The numbers are actually deceiving. Having traveled to almost every major city in the US I can tell you first hand that Chicago is gorgeous, safe and world class.
In fact for being such a huge place it's surprising affordable and clean. People love to brag about NYC but I thought it was dirty and smelled like garabge and piss everywhere. It's too crowded.
Those idiots killing eachother everyday generally stick to themselves in Chicago. It's all they know as sad as that is. Stay away from ghetto parts and odds are you'll be amazed how nice Chicago is.
Joseph Harris
Basically this. People fail to realize how insanely segregated Chicago is. Though it's spilled over this year on a few occasions which isn't normal. It's still just black on black murder who just happened across their invisible barrior. In chicago you have rich as fuck neighborhoods right next to extremely dangerous ones. I have no idea how it works but it seems to.
Chicago is nice for living. World class city without the insane expense of America's other top cities, not that it's cheap or anything in its own right.

Let's decimate the long term forever because of some short term problems. It's not like 500 people are getting murdered a year just in Chicago and half of black people don't even have jobs. Oh wait.

Or, you're a bunch of rich blue-pilled cucks who pay niggers and their fight dogs to fuck your wives. Fuck off. Please fuck the fuck off.

>But there are reasons for every action or behavior by anyone.
And those actions and behaviors are specifically the result of Black-American culture.
Guns have nothing to do with it and never have, all "gun control" does is restrict the rights of the already law abiding non-Blacks who ain't the fucking problem.
This is not a national problem and that all Americans need to fix, it is a problem reserved almost exclusively to Blacks and wholly because of uncivilized Black behavior.
And it must be pointed out these mosts of these shootings are NOT because of some crime like muggings or car jackings, it's nothing more than violent young nigger males shooting each other because they were slighted in some way.
Black-Americans need to get their shit together, it's not the responsibility of the rest of America.
Cooper Mitchell
What a fucking piece of shit Rahm is. Yeah lets blame it on the few people trying to do fuck all for that city. Not the feral niggers fault at all.
