The horrific gun situation in Chicago (USA): "just 55 kills per month"

82
According to the representative of the CPD (Chicago Police Department), the decline in the level of violence in the city goes 16-th consecutive month. The police are satisfied with the results, but at the same time they recognize that it is necessary to work more and better. At the same time, violent crime statistics are striking.

The horrific gun situation in Chicago (USA): "just 55 kills per month"




During 12 hours on July 2018, the police responded to at least four firearm incidents. weapons.

In June, 255 shooting cases and 55 (!) Killings happened. One of the last in June was shot 14-year-old teenager in Washington Park City.

In the first six months of 2018, 252 was killed in Chicago, which is 79 less than during the same period in 2017.

In 2018, there were 1100 firearm incidents, which is 270 fewer than in the first half of 2017.

“This progress can be attributed to the hard work of thousands of dedicated Chicago police officers, assisted by technology, data, smarter policing and good public relations”, Said First Deputy Superintendent of the Police Department Anthony Rixio.

This year, Chicago police seized (attention!) About 4300 illegal weapons, and was also able to reduce the sales of heroin and fentanyl.



At the same time, the total spread of illegal “firearms” in major US cities continues to be a serious problem for the States. In today's morning news on "VO" reported on the total number of crimes involving firearms in the United States.

            I remind you.
            The sale of drugs in the US is the main CIA funding item.
            Once the sale of cocaine was legalized in China, and the British decided to enrich themselves on this. The agony of the country lasted a long time, affecting all neighbors. It took the overthrow of two dynasties and several civil wars, so that after this, China would again become great.
            The United States became doomed from the moment the Anglo-Saxons decided to enrich themselves in the sale of drugs in their own country. Now is the agony. The process is long, but lethal. Unlike ancient China, the USA has influence all over the world, so the collapse of the Consumer Empire will affect the whole world. And it can even drag everyone along to the grave.

    According to the report of the prosecutor's office, the number of people who suffered serious harm as a result of crimes in Russia increased by 19,7% compared to the same period in 2016.

    At the same time, in Moscow the number of persons killed as a result of criminal attacks increased by 226% and amounted to 1842 cases.

          2 720 000 - 660 - Chicago.
          Murders in Moscow are slightly less than 2.8 times more, despite the fact that the population is 4.6 times more. It turns out in Chicago a little less than 2 times more murders come out.
          And yet, if I understood the article correctly, we are talking only about murders from a gunshot, and in Moscow there are general statistics, even if someone was thrown out of a window ...

            Few mistakes were made from the bottom. And well done, you know what to count on 100 thousand people wink
            2018 murders committed in Chicago in the first six months of 252

            1) 252 * 2 = 504
            2) 1842 \ 504 = 3,655
            3) 12 500 000/2 720 000 = 4.595
            4) Moscow has slightly fewer murders, 26% more murders in Chicago
            Well, the countries once thought so.

                  You can provide the latest data, do not mind wink

                  Statistics, the thing is very subtle. But, let's take the data of the FBI, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation and the UN, published in the media.
                  The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) summed up the criminal results of 2016.
                  According to the report, the number of violent crimes increased on average by 5,3% compared to the same period of 2015. The number of aggravated attacks increased by 6,5%; kills - by 5,2%; rape - by 4,4%; robberies - by 3,2%.

                  At the same time, according to the UN, 10147 people were killed in the United States from firearms (I emphasize firearms) in 2016.
                  Again, according to the United Nations for 2016, 31,5 people per 1 million inhabitants were killed in the United States killed only with firearms (I emphasize firearms), and in Russia 5,6 people per 1 million.

                  According to statistics from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, the number of murders (I emphasize, all murders) in Russia has significantly decreased. Over 5 years (2011–2016), the indicator decreased by 27% - from 14,3 thousand to 10,4 thousand per year.
                  Something like that.

                      You have read my post inattentively. Where does this attachment to 100000 come from? The UN counted a million. As of 2016, in the United States 31,5 people were killed using a firearm, and in Russia, 5,6. If per 100 thousand, then in the United States 3,15 people, and in Russia 0,56. That's clearer?
                      But the meaning of the rest of the information is that in the USA the number of murders is growing, but in Russia it is falling. And in 2016, only 10,4 thousand people were killed in Russia, and in the United States in 2016 only 10147 people were killed with firearms. Statistics are eloquent.
                      And if we take the statistics on mass killings in schools and other public places, the picture will be even more eloquent.

    In the Czech Republic, both a short-barrel and a “long-barrel” are allowed (traumatism is forbidden! And rightly because trauma is immediately and crazy to use, judging by the newspaper headlines from Russian newspapers). Crimes in the Czech Republic with a shotgun - 99% illegal weapons. I am for a legal firearm. And I myself have others advise to have. And I have the right to protect my life, health and property (and the life, health and property of my fellow citizens and people who are in a critical situation through the fault of criminal elements) by shooting. It will be calmer - a hooligan knows that I can have a weapon, so beware, and just because they will not shoot too. With a fool, you will bare the trunk and 10 others will immediately measure you on the street, in the zucchini, just anywhere.
    Of course, everything must be approached wisely. I think our gun laws are the best in the world.

      This is overwhelmingly the result of skirmishes between gangs of "minorities" and they do not care about restricting the sale of weapons, they will not limit whether they will be banned or not. Their weapons are in bulk and not at all from weapons stores. And beat them with a police throne or block them without 150% of the hole under the camera ... And the police often lose in armaments, they don’t have automatic rifles, but the gangs have them, including AK. In principle, killing for the majority of those killed is not particularly worthwhile, it is a pity only when children playing near windows die from random bullets. ... However, in those nice district men, they have little chance of getting a normal education and then work, most likely the way to the gang ... and the logical end from a bullet, knife or drugs.

      So invite, although you can go to Canada without an invitation. And it wouldn’t be in the first one. And in Kirkland, I could also serve as a guide for you. And in the vicinity of the Yellow Knife.
      Why? Life in Canada failed?

    Well, they have a firearm, and we have available means.
    It’s just that all this is being registered with them, and it’s hiding with ours,
    that would not spoil the statistics of a single lane.

    Honestly, I didn’t want to “open” this article at all: it’s so clear that the “arms lobbyists” will rush to defend their crazy “idea”! They have at least $$ s in their eyes ... even a "stake on their head" is useless! What other "statistics" of killings by a firearm should they cite as an example? With a sign of infinity? I think the answer will still be "insanity"!

    Most crimes are committed in southern Chicago and in the areas of resettlement of "minorities" there a couple of years ago there was generally a zone of free shooting and shooting between ethnic and racial gangs of gangsters. No wonder Chicago is the homeland of the Democrats and the city of refuge.

      The question is - what could a respectable father of the family do in this situation if he had at least ten legal trunks? To shoot after?

        If a person is trained to shoot it was possible in response to the car. For a 9 mm caliber, a luger to break glass in a car is not a problem at all. And if you are not trained do not hell with weapons to walk.

    For comparison
    According to the report of the prosecutor's office, the number of people who suffered serious harm as a result of crimes in Russia increased by 19,7% compared to the same period in 2016.

    At the same time, in Moscow the number of persons killed as a result of criminal attacks increased by 226% and amounted to 1842 cases.


    Where did you get this nonsense? Here Kommersant writes: In January-November 2017, in Moscow and St. Petersburg, 289 and 171 murders and attempted murders were registered, respectively. In 2016, in the two largest cities of the Russian Federation, 351 and 221 crimes of this kind were registered, respectively.
