#6 Exactly, BP. Grave digging is indeed a shovel-ready project.

back in 1992 Chicago had 900+ murders.

#12 It's Chi-town.

Don't think of it as murder.

Think of it as voter registration.

#13 Like #7, I was in Dallas in the 90's when they were closing in on 1,000 toward the end of the year.

In some neighborhoods, the folks are always afraid to come out.

#14 Who would have thought? After all, Chicago is the Donk Mecca.

#16 Same places every weekend too.
But while this "war" rages on 100-200 CPD are being used to provide a security corridor around Valerie Jarrets daughters wedding in Barack's old toney neighborhood. Very nice zip code that is a little less than a mile from the "shooting gallery".
Rahm's out of town with his family this weekend, too, (Him and Val not being all chummy chummy from the WH days) and the temps are going to reach 93. The over/under last time I checked is 43 shootings/ 18 fatalities in the "land of no weapons needed or allowed"
