[NewsOne] "Gun Violence In Chicago Drops Despite Republican Fearmongering On Crime -- Chicago's gun violence is slowly beginning to decrease."
You'll have to read closely to pick out the careful way facts are twisted, taken out of context, misrepresented and skewed.

The same Chicago Shooting Facts (more or less) presented in another light
News One is an UrbanOne brand, which describes itself as representing Black culture. And they clearly are obsessed with the evilness of Republicans.

#16   For some reason, your link had both the Rantburg site, then the HJA site, NN2N1.

Sometimes that’s because Fred’s code sometimes overreacts to the hotlink URL being in quotes, as the icon does automatically. I have no idea why this is only sometimes a problem.

#14   Except for the MAGA attack on Juicy Sommelier, which was at 2AM and 20 below

Only mad dogs and MAGA-men go out in the midnight sun.

#12  It's because it's getting cold.

Chicago crime increases greatly in the summer, and decreases in winter. Because winter is fucking cold, and gang bangers don't like freezing their asses off any more than we do.

#11  ruprect, meth would have them agitated a fuck, if it's the drugs it would be the fentanyl and hroin that would put the in a coma. Just look at the vids that come out of the zombies laying on the sidewalks coming out of every city.

#4  The whole article was republicans pounce. No real discussion on why or how the shootings can be reduced. Could be the worst offenders are currently in prison, could be the gangs have better lookouts so drive-bys are less effective this year. Could be they've shifted to meth and everyone is so stoned they have less time to kill each other. Could be they are making more money smashing into stores and grabbing everything than fighting each other.

Lots of things could have caused the drop in murders. Yet the rate is still insanely high.

#3  Fear-mongering? LOL, WTF, really? So a walk though the south side of Chicago at 11pm is like a stroll through Beverly Hills?

Oh, and in a gun-free south side to boot.

#2  2022 gun violence is down to date from 2020 & 2021 (so far). It's up from 2018 and 2019 and on par with 2016/17.
