What is your solution to the gun violence in Chicago, ducks?

[ducks]

As of July 12, Chicago police reported 385 murders this year, a 48% increase from at the same point in 2019, and 1,541 shootings, a 46% increase from the same point last year.

Maybe because if you're not concerned with the slaughter of black children in Chicago, it's a hard sell that you're concerned about the death of one old black man in Minnesota.

Yeah it's such a phony concern they have. The only reason they bleat about Chicago is to slam on "evil Dem mayors" who've let lawlessness grip the city. Chicago has an uptick the past few years, but they were trending at historical lows before then.

https://www.thetrace.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Screen-Shot-2017-01-03-at-5.46.24-PM.png

What's the reason for the exponential uptick? I'm going to guess the Fentanyl trade has gotten a lot more competitive.

Bit of correlation there (obviously more overdoses means more use more sales more market share to fight over for gang member dealers).

Trump was supposed to do something about the opioid crisis. What happened?

[ElNono]

The amount of shootings and homicides are concerning. Certainly in Chicago, and elsewhere there's a high homicide rate.

It's really unfortunate it has largely turned into a political gotcha game, because it's a serious problem that merits serious discussion.

[FrostKing]

Chicago is only 30% black. This is a reflection on their culture.

[midnightpulp]

The amount of shootings and homicides are concerning. Certainly in Chicago, and elsewhere there's a high homicide rate.

It's really unfortunate it has largely turned into a political gotcha game, because it's a serious problem that merits serious discussion.

opioids are trending to become the new crack epidemic. Where there's a high demand for drugs, there's a market to fight over, opioids have the highest demand of any drug probably since crack. The way you reduce the demand is through creating less customers, and that means education, outreach programs, and other social programs. Nancy Reagan's DARE gets a lot of shit, but I think it was useful in scaring a lot of my generation straight. The crack epidemic started to wind down when we became teens in the mid-90s.


Embraced by one generation, crack was spurned by the next. The level of crack use has remained steady for more than a decade.

According to an annual survey of drug use among people who are arrested, 35.7 percent of all males over 36 years old who were arrested in New York last year had used crack recently, but barely 4 percent of those 15 to 20 years old had used it.

Article was written in 1999. https://www.nytimes.com/1999/09/19/us/crack-s-legacy-a-special-report-a-drug-ran-its-course-then-hid-with-its-users.html

Lol more broken vows coming soon

I said the MSM doesn't focus on it...

And I agree with that. No money in the dead poor black people they're constantly crying for supposedly.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. You don't care about dead poor black people either, you've made that much clear, you just use it as a crutch to attack either libs or the MSM (which, in your view, are largely one and the same).

You need to make the Chicago failure relative to people with relatively little vested interest in it.
If I were in Chicago, that would not be an acceptable response to me.

Which 'people with relatively little vested interest in it' I pointed fingers to? Where's the whataboutism?

You or I not being in Chicago doesn't make the problem any less important or interesting, since this problematic is far from being exclusive to Chicago.

We should be bringing up Chicago when we want to discuss criminal justice reform, gun control, policing...

Instead it's seemingly constantly surfaced as a crutch to advance some political beef, but there's little to no discussion of what the solutions would look like.

On a macro level, this is their local leaders failing them. Then their state leaders failing them. And sure you can even find failures on the federal level; but the buck stops well before that. You need to stop desperately trying to pass that buck.

How could I be passing the buck when it's you that's pointing fingers, not me?

Lazily pointing fingers is easy, actually discussing, attacking the problem and coming up with solutions, not so much.

People that use this as partisan talking points instead of addressing it for the real problem it is?

:lol but Chicago!

You know the Chicago deflection is disingenuous for the purpose of criticizing Black Lives Matter. "Well, IF Black Lives really mattered why aren't they calling out what is happening in Chicago!" Yeah, I'm sure a bunch of gang members shooting each other over drug dealing territory are really going to listen to a bunch of blue haired college kids and Al Sharpton.

We know the solutions to gang violence. You reduce the drug market in some way, either through anti-drug education, social programs, prohibition repeal (i.e. gang violence in the prohibition era dropped like a rock after booze was legalized againt), and rehabilitation. It's not that much of a coincidence Chicago's murder rate grew along with Fentanyl use.

You really should use malaria if you are looking for massive numbers of deaths.
Guess other countries don’t count. Keep America great.
And mostly people with dark skin die of malaria (tropical disease don’t cha know) so you got the skin color thing as well.

In think this ensemble will fit you well, wear it.

[Winehole23]

hilarious!TSA gloating over a mass shooting like he just scored a touchdown.

It's so convincing when conservatives prop themselves up on dead black bodies to tease liberals.

Sounds like police failed to protect pubic safety after the public asked for help.

The slogan "Black Lives Matter" is a genius one meant to downplay their overall intentions and successfully does so in nearly every instance except black on black crime. The only one I can think of.

If Democrats were wise they would use Chicago as an example of why the 2nd Amendment should be changed but at the moment they prefer to avoid all mention of Chicago's existence.

lol gun sells are thru the roof thanks to threats of defunding police!

[ducks]

To put things in perspective, there have been more people murdered in Chicago in 2020 than American Service Members killed during the Gulf War.
