Homicides in Chicago this year double same period last year

Four homicides over the weekend and two more Monday morning pushed Chicago's homicide count so far this year to double the same period last year.

The city has recorded at least 95 homicides since the first of the year, compared to 47 last year, according to data kept by the Tribune. The city has also more than doubled the amount of people shot - about 420 this year compared to 193 last year.

Thirty-two people were shot in Chicago over the weekend, the youngest among them a 3-year-old boy shot in the leg in the Englewood neighborhood.

The boy was shot as he played with a relative in the 5600 block of South Wolcott Avenue on Saturday afternoon. He was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital, where his condition was stabilized.

Police said they recovered three guns from the scene of the shooting. No one was reported in custody.

The weekend toll includes one person killed and nine wounded from Friday evening to Saturday morning; three men killed and 14 people wounded fromSaturday afternoon to Sunday morning;and six people wounded from Sunday afternoon to Monday morning.

The weekend’s first gunshot homicide was at 11:30 p.m. Friday, when 20-year-old Terrell Sykes was shot multiple times in the abdomen while standing out on the Gresham block where he lived.

On Saturday afternoon, 18-year-old Brian Johnson was shot in the head near the intersection of Prairie Avenue and 56th Street, officials said. He was taken to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead.

Around 8 a.m. Monday, a cabbie was found shot to death in his taxi parked near a library in the 4400 block of North Leavitt Street, police said. Hours later, a 28-year-old man was shot in the 6400 block of South Eggleston Avenue, said Officer Ana Pacheco, a Chicago police spokeswoman.

This is insane.

If these shooters and shooting victims were white, the entire nation's resources would be devoted to ending this out-of-control crime spree.

But because most of the shooters and victims are black, the bodies pile up and not much is done.

Do black lives matter?

Apparently not.

If a cop kills a black man, the media is all over it and the world condemns the cop even if it is later determined that the shooting was justified.

Black bodies pile up and nothing is done, and apparently no one cares.

And it is also clear that Obama doesn't give a flying fuck about the black people in Chicago.

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact in many of these areas people will not come forward and help authorities. I talk to inner city cops and they just don't know what to do about it. Nobody sees anything nobody says anything.

The only way to end much of it would to flood the areas with police. Of course then authorities are accused of being nazis and racists. You just can't win.

Not only that but add in that citizens don't want to get involved because they are threatened by the gangs and the police have their hands tied behind their backs.

On one hand, they are worried they will get into a situation that would involve a shooting and know the city doesn't have their backs and on the other is the fact no citizens will come forward to help the cases. It's a lose/lose situation for the police.
