| With 90 Homicides, August Was Chicago’s Bloodiest Month In 20 Years |
| 2016-09-02 |
| [CHICAGO.CBSLOCAL] A 24-year-old man was killed and a 23-year-old man was grazed by a bullet in a shooting in the West Lawn neighborhood late Wednesday night, capping off the most violent month in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,... in 20 years. Chicago police said there were 90 homicides in August, and a total of 472 people shot in 384 separate attacks. The city has not had that many murders in one month since August 1996. As he has several times before, Police Supt. Eddie Johnson said a relatively small group of repeat gun criminals are responsible for the the vast majority of gun violence in Chicago. The department maintains a watchlist of sorts, called the "strategic subject list," which relies on an algorithm to try to predict who is most likely to be involved in a shooting ‐ either as the shooter or victim ‐ by analyzing data such as gang affiliations, criminal records, past shootings, and previous contact with police. |

I'm guessing I could probably save them some programming and give their computers a rest. |

| #6 What sort of gun control Laws do they have in Chicago? And in Gaza the populace usually use knives on one another and Jewzzz if they are not people who build rockets. It might be a cultural thingy. Moslems don't usually belong to the the democratic party unless they also are Constitutional scholars as well. Kizr Khan doesn't happen to live in Chicago does he? Just asking. he might, I don't know. |

| #5 Level of violence in Chicago and the level of violence in the entire country of Israel, Gaza, and the region, might be an interest analysis and comparison. I suspect a grand level of hypocrasy, but I'd reckon such a comparison is off limits. |

| #4 small group of repeat gun criminals are responsible for the the vast majority of gun violence Well if you know it's a small number, you must know who they are, true? In which case you could round them up and put them in the slammer, true? Why don't you? |

| #3 So, dear Prez, why import Syrian "refugees" when you already have a little Aleppo? |

| #2 Seems to me your 'algorithm' needs a little tweaking. And by a little I mean a lot! |
