Blue Big City Homicides Way Up: Chicago and Baltimore

2021-12-20

Over 800 Homicides Year-to-Date in Mayor Lori Lightfoot's Chicago

[Breitbart] The Chicago Sun-Times reports the city hit the figure of 800 homicides on Tuesday, when 23-year-old Sheridan Freeman was shot dead inside a home in West Pullman.

By Thursday, WBEZ Chicago noted the number of homicides in the city was at 812 for the year.

Chicago has long had a problem with gun crime and the vast majority of this year’s homicide victims were killed with guns.

For example, HeyJackass.com lists 776 people shot and killed in Chicago this year and another 4,403 shot and wounded.

At least 11 people have been shot and killed this week alone in the troubled city.

FOX32 tracked this year’s surging Chicago homicides and noted in November that the city’s death numbers were well-ahead of those posted during recent years.

They contrasted the number of homicides recorded January 1 through October 31 during the past three years and found 432 homicides during that time-frame in 2019, 661 homicides during that time in 2020, and 678 during that same time in 2021.

15 Shot Friday Alone in Democrat-Controlled Baltimore

[Breitbart] Fifteen people were shot, two of them fatally, in Democrat-controlled Baltimore, Maryland, on Friday alone.

WBAL reports that the first of the two shooting fatalities occurred just before 1:00 p.m., when an unidentified individual was shot and killed “in the 600 block of Laurens Street.”

The deceased individual was one of three shot in that single incident.

Friday’s second fatal shooting occurred just before 8:00 p.m. “in the 1300 block of West North Avenue.” Five people were shot in the incident and one of them, a 36-year-old man, succumbed to his injuries.

WYPR noted that Baltimore had witnessed 315 murders for the year, as of December 15, 2021.

The Baltimore Sun pointed out that the 300+ homicides for 2021 “marks the seventh consecutive year of 300 homicides or more, a streak that began in 2015.”

On June 16, 2019, Breitbart News observed that crime was surging in Baltimore despite the presence of stringent gun control. The Firearms Safety Act of 2013 banned “assault weapons” and “high capacity” magazines and put in a place a fingerprinting/registration requirement for new handgun buyers. The Sun explained that Maryland has a red flag law that took effect October 1, 2018.

The Socialist-Democrat run cities have no need to worry.

The dead still vote 100% Democrat. ☺
