23 Shot During Brandon Johnson's 1st Weekend As Chicago Mayor

[shockedcanadian]

What are the police doing with all of their resources? Crime is always so high there, right?

It's a social issue. If people want to put their heads in the sand you can do so, but I recall the war on drugs in the 80s was a big deal. 40 Years later how did that approach work out?

The cops are reactionary forces they can't stop crime.

They can certainly manufacture it. Come to Canada and learn the tricks of the trade in bankrupt Ontario...

The citizens of Chicago voted for this guy and I have no empathy for them.

There it is. Fuck 'em and feed 'em fish heads.

 

[JGalt]

What can one do on day one?

Resign.

If a Repub was mayor people would still be shot.

Name one city with a Republican Mayor that has a high rate of shootings, robberies, and carjackings.

You mean he didn't wave a magic wand and fix decades upon decades of social strife and inequality? I'm shocked!

Chicago has indeed had many Decades of ultraliberal social strife and inequality.

Conservative ruled cities don't have this kind of shit.

Red States and cities have some of the worst economic and social outcomes.

Guns, Poverty, and Social Welfare: How Republicans Fail to Address Crime â Third Way

A lot of "red states" are brought down by blue cities within their borders.

No recent murders in Wabash Illinois, in spite being in a failed state and a very low crime rate.

Wabash went 4-1 for the Trumpster. And this is in a county where Republicans might not see the point figuring they have zero chance.

Another Bingo argument.

The Two-Decade Red State Murder Problem â Third Way


Some on the right argue that murder rates in red states are higher because of the blue cities in those red states. Of course, blue states have more blue urban areas than red states. That is what makes most states blue. The fact is that murder rates have increased in urban, suburban, and rural areas.

But to answer these critics, we performed an exercise to give red states a special boost. For this exercise, we removed all of the murders in the county with the largest city for 19 of 25 red states. In six rural red states home to no cities with large numbers of murders, this calculation was not possible based on available CDC data.2 Blue states would get no such advantage. But even with the largest city removed from red states, the Red State murder gap persisted.

Over the course of the full 21 years between 2000 and 2020, the Red State murder rate was still 12% higher than the Blue State murder rate, even when murders in the largest cities in those red states were removed. And the murder rate was still higher in 18 of 21 years.

What they need is strict gun control legislation. Oops, they already have that. Well then, maybe they should try keeping criminals locked up. They haven't tried that yet.
