HeyJackass! brings us the Year In Review
We mistakenly believed we had bottomed out in 2024, only to watch the downward trend persist through 2025. In hindsight, we underestimated the significance of replacing a pro-criminal State’s Attorney with one who simply enforces the law as written (despite pro-criminal judges still being a persistent issue).
It’s no secret that most of what’s on this site is driven by a small number of low-IQ ne’er-do-wells who’ve done well by becoming their own protected victim class from 2016-2024. Removing even a portion of them from the streets creates a noticeable ripple effect on overall numbers.
Murders were down a lot in Chicago in 2025. Shootings were also down. In fact you need to go back to 2014 to find a comparable year in the Chicago Crime Stats.
Click thru for the details, including a breakdown by race, a comparison of the number of men versus women killed, and the stats like which neighborhood was most dangerous, and #ShotInTheAss (there were 80).
The powers that be are taking a victory lap, because "crime is down." 433 people were murdered, and 1592 were shot and wounded. That doesn't sound like cause for celebration, but it is a significant improvement over the last few years.
