A Peaceful April in Chicago

HeyJackass! brings us the April Wrap-up

An unusually peaceful April.

We had to go back to the early 60s to find an April homicide tally in this very tiny, rarely visited ballpark.

The 2025 totals were 20 killed, and 117 shot and wounded. That compares to the 2024 numbers of 40 killed, and 194 shot and wounded. The 2024 tally was actually less than average for April.

Click thru for the details including the number of Selfies, #ShotInTheAss, and the breakdown by demographics.

And no, I have no explanations for the numbers, and neither does WH Thompson, the proprieter of HeyJackass!
