Chicago's Murder Rate Still Very High

So much for the gun ban wokring:

125 Shot Dead In Chicago Over Summer
Total Is About Double The U.S. Troop Death Toll In Iraq

CHICAGO (CBS) ― An estimated 125 people were shot and killed over the summer. That's nearly double the number of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq over the same time period.

In May, cbs2chicago.com began tracking city shootings and posting them on Google maps. Information compiled from our reporters, wire service reports and the Chicago Police Major Incidents log indicated that 125 people were shot and killed throughout the city between the start of Memorial Day weekend on May 26, and the end of Labor Day on Sept. 1. . . .


Thanks to Anthony.

Sadly, this is mostly black on black crime. The continuing legacy of leftist policies that have destroyed the black family unit, the black community and made it entirely dependent on government.
