Despite Headlines, Chicago Crime At Lowest Levels In Decades « CBS Chicago


"Despite" this article, the pattern/motive of any of these killings is beyond redemption. Our elected leaders, prosecutors, and even church officials, are doing nothing but hiding their heads in the sand, wishing it would just go away.

Look at the pattern, or should I be bold and say, the way these killings are being carried out. Turn around, and observe how they are charged when caught. Slaps on the wrist, no follow up on where the criminals obtained their weapons, and the arrogant attitude simply because, it isn't a frequent occurrence where they live.

Break that so called graph down, and compare it via neighborhoods, not a totality of all shootings. Once that is done, we hear the same old song. "More officers are deployed where it's highest." So why does it continue where more officers are deployed? That's the question no reporters ask.

Each time you pick up a paper, or see it on the news, the killings appear as targeted "Hits". You hear, or read the accounts. "A person/persons walks up or "drives by", and shoots the intended target or targets." Well folks, in my book, that's premeditated murder. Yet, they are never charged as such. Why? Are they truly wishing it would just go away or, we will never notice?
