It's going to have to happen for a few years in a row for this year not to have been a fluke...

A few months ago, I listened to a speech of the Cook County State's Attorney, and she sounded good on the subject. I don't recall her mentioning gun control, especially since it was an American Legion banquet I suppose.
I daresay there are as many shootings in Chicago as ever, but perhaps the aim is worse.
The US leads the world in incarceration and we still have murder rates three times that of similar countries.
We must be doing something wrong
What is a similar country to America?
Canada? - not even close.
Europe? - politically and demographically very different.
What other countries have such high crime areas due to past social engineering?
Look....we have a murder rate three to six times that of nations we consider "civilized"
It is something we should be ashamed of, not something we should rationalize
This is liberal code, translate it and it reads, "United States is evil".The US leads the world in incarceration and we still have murder rates three times that of similar countries.

'Small world of murder': As homicides drop, Chicago police focus on social networks of gangs - U.S. News
Murders are down this year by almost half in his district and about 20 percent citywide, according to department data. Its the equivalent of more than 80 lives saved, as the commander puts it, and the lowest Chicago murder toll in a half century.
The switch was thrown quietly in May 2012, hidden inside a 16-page directive, Gang Violence Reduction Strategy, and largely ignored amid a 60 percent rise in murders in the first quarter alone. With less than a year on the job, McCarthy had already disbanded two special task forces, roving teams that muscled neighborhoods into submission. Now he was betting on what he calls the next phase of community policing in this world: an emphasis not on the traditional hot spots for crime, but on the hot people who commit most criminal acts. Chicago Police Department committed to using the new science of social network analysis the same tools that allow Silicon Valley to predict who you know and what you might like to buy to detail the citys small world of murder, as one researcher put it, and use that knowledge to stop the next bullet before it's fired.
They could go a step further and just keep these thugs in jail. Rates would plummet, all without the need for gun control.

Murders are down this year by almost half in his district and about 20 percent citywide, according to department data. It’s the equivalent of more than 80 lives “saved,” as the commander puts it, and the lowest Chicago murder toll in a half century.
The switch was thrown quietly in May 2012, hidden inside a 16-page directive, “Gang Violence Reduction Strategy,” and largely ignored amid a 60 percent rise in murders in the first quarter alone. With less than a year on the job, McCarthy had already disbanded two special task forces, roving teams that muscled neighborhoods into submission. Now he was betting on what he calls “the next phase of community policing in this world”: an emphasis not on the traditional “hot spots” for crime, but on the “hot people” who commit most criminal acts. Chicago Police Department committed to using the new science of social network analysis — the same tools that allow Silicon Valley to predict who you know and what you might like to buy — to detail the city’s “small world of murder,” as one researcher put it, and use that knowledge to stop the next bullet before it's fired.
They could go a step further and just keep these thugs in jail. Rates would plummet, all without the need for gun control.

So basically they dropped the crime rate by racial/class profiling.
Hmm...I thought liberals hated this?

Have you ever considered that we are just better at catching criminals? What is the unsolved crime rate in those smaller countries? I bet its high. Our criminals meet justice, and you complain about it? What kind of sense does that make?'Small world of murder': As homicides drop, Chicago police focus on social networks of gangs - U.S. News

Not exactly a brag factor IMO.
With just three weeks until we close out the year, the homicide ticker is stuck on 401. Thats still almost a hundred more than New York, a city with over three times Chicagos population, has had to date but its also the largest year-over-year drop in a decade, police department data show.
In reality getting Chicago under 500 is a great feat and I am proud of that. Actually I see it dropping more in 2014. The reasons are simple: (1) We are looking at one of the coldest winters in years (when it's cold in Chicago, the violence literally remains on ice), (2) Rahm is going to ramp up this racial profiling campaighn which is working and HE SHOULD CONTINUE IT, fuck the PC nonsense, (3) Chicago has lost even more population again in 2013 and it won't stop in 2014. Less people less victims; and (4) Lastly, pop is going to be legalized, yep it's only medical marijuana, but if you want a prescription you will get a prescription (legalize pot and you will see another tick down)
Rahm will touted first time in a long time it has been under 400 in a year. Could it get lower than 350 or 300? Who knows.
Watch out when the government starts targeting people on the assumption that they might commit a crime.
Good for them.
So it's not the guns after all.
Imagine that...it is due to gang activity in isolated high crime neighborhoods. Gee...what a surprise! And how did these neighborhoods get built? What color, primarily, are these neighborhoods comprised of? Blacks and Latinos you say...well...why are they so bunched up together?...one might say segregated even. No way that one of the more liberal cities in America is SEGREGATED????
And why is that? You think it has something to do with social programs???
Well....
End Segregation!
Just as 'white' children were once bussed to 'black' schools (is this still happening?) it is time to relocate 'white people' into 'black' districts. It could be done quite easily, with the liberal use of cattle prods, tazers, mace and, in the last resort, machine guns.
I'm sure that our lefty liberal colleagues would love it in Watts or wherever and would only need tazering five or six times before they agreed on the move.
