HeyJackass! published The Summer of Silly Decisions. "Silly Decisions" being one of the ways Chicago politicians describe crime; it is just silly decisions made by misunderstood youth. Or something.
Amazing! We never figured that Justice-Involved Violence Influencers Interrupters could have such a drastic effect on homicides and shootings. Yep. That’s it. Totally. Yellow-vested felons… Ok.
Summer of Silly Decisions*: 137 killed, 628 wounded
Summer 2024: 233 killed, 951 wounded
Summer 2023: 225 killed, 907 wounded
HeyJackass! covers all homicides, by whatever means (i.e. stabbing, beating, car, etc.). HeyJackass! also tracks justified homicides, both police and self-defense shootings by citizens. The Wounded statistics only include shot and wounded.
* The Summer Shooting Season runs from 12p Friday of Memorial Day weekend thru 6a Tuesday of Labor Day weekend. 2014, 2016-2019, 2021-2025 = 101 days, 18 hours or 2,442 hours. 2015 & 2020 = 108 days, 18 hours or 2,610 hours.
Click thru for the breakout of the statistics by demographic, the number of #Selfies, #ShotInTheAss, ect. There are also predictions for the totals at the end of the year, barring any "May 2020-like forks in the road."
