If those damn Republicans would just back scads of new gun laws these black criminals would all become supremely lawabiding quicker than you could say Jackie Robinson!

Yep, they definitely making some great forward progress on crime in Chicago, glad you've noticed and are posting about it.

Chicago police credit new tactics for drop in homicides, overall crime rate fell in 2013 to lowest level since 1972 - CBS News

Since then, the number of homicides and other violent crimes that turned Chicago into a national symbol of gun violence has fallen sharply. The city led the nation in homicides in 2012 with more than 500. It ended 2013 with 415 homicides

The overall crime rate fell last year to a level not seen since 1972, and the number of shooting incidents involving victims 16 and younger dropped 40 percent in 12 months, city officials say.

Thanks again for hilighting the forward progress against crime in Chicago novasteve, it is surprising to see you trumpeting anything positive like this but I applaud the new attitude.

Amazing = Chicago's homicide total in 2013 was the lowest since 1965!

Some people just have to hurt other people as they're full of hate. Failure of parenting is the cause of such violence.
