#6 This month, the city announced a $30 million project that targets 1,200 high school pupils identified as most at risk to become victims of gun violence, giving them full-time mentors and part-time jobs to keep them off the streets.

#7 Nah, Brer. You forgot to deduct "administration" costs. That brings it down to a more reasonable amount. Say, $2.39 per kid.

#9 This story can't be true - guns are illegal in Chicago so there can't be a shooting to touch off the violence. SARC=OFF

Still I felt safer driving around Baghdad and Basrah than on the back streets of the Windy City.
