Chicago Crime in the Month of May

HeyJackass! brings us the May Wrap-up.

OG Lightfoot and Lightfoot v2.0 split responsibilities as the reigns of stupidity were peacefully handed over mid-month. While OG wrapped up her tenure with over 15k shot*, v2.0 got off to a strong start with a notably violent, stress mishandling Memorial Day weekend.

The final tally for the month: 65 killed, 274 wounded.

That was a slightly better tally than last year, and somewhat better than 2020 and 2021, but it was worst than 2014, 2015, 2017, and 2018.

I am sure the Powers-That-Be will declare "Crime is Down!"

Click thru for stats like "Selfies," #ShotInTheAss, and more. A grand total of 4 homicide-linked arrests were made in the month of May.
