We haven't looked at the crime in Chicago for a minute... HeyJackass! has the stats: Don't Demonize Weekend
We were told not to "demonize" the youths causing mayhem downtown. Because they didn't have enough support in their neighborhoods, jumping on cars and attacking couples in the Loop was only to be expected. Or something.
The good news is Kim Foxx has decided to not run for another term. The bad news is she will be around for another 20 months including for the upcoming Summer of Joy 2.
Cooler temperatures, and bit of rain on Saturday afternoon helped to hold the numbers down. The weekend total (noon Friday until 6 AM Monday) was 5 killed, 27 shot and wounded. That was enough that if it was before the election, the powers-that-were would be screaming crime is down, and those numbers are considerable better than the same weekend the past few years.
