"Chicago homicides rise 60 percent" Associated Press, April 13, 2012
CHICAGO - Homicides in this city rose 60 percent during the first three months of the year despite an increase in police resources in some of the most dangerous neighborhoods, according to new police crime statistics....
Chicago has for years tried to cut off the flow of guns. It has what city officials call the strictest handgun ordinance in the United States. The measure bans gun shops in Chicago and prohibits gun owners from stepping outside their homes, even onto their porches or in their garages, with a handgun....
Police blame much of the violence on more than 70 active gangs and their tens of thousands of members.
Woah!
The mayor has urged residents to take a stand against gangs in their communities....
Easy for him to say. That's another scary thing about Chicago: their mayor is the Mossad mole Rahm Emanuel. That's a key position (think Giuliani) in the event of a false flag attack.
Factors contributing to the rise could range from lingering economic woes and high unemployment to the unseasonably warm weather that brought more people outside, increasing the chances of conflict, said Jens Ludwig, director of the University of Chicago’s Crime Lab.
Yeah, the weather made them do it.
Puh-leeze!!!
He cautioned that it is risky to draw hard conclusions from three months of data or even a full year’s worth of figures, noting that the overall trend in Chicago has been toward lower murder rates.
“Since the early ’90s it’s been going down, but there are years when you see these sorts of upward blips around the larger trend,’’ Ludwig said. “ . . . We wouldn’t necessarily want to jump to conclusions too much on the basis of one quarter’s data.’’
Unless it's good economic news.

Never saw anything about the black helicopter assault in my Globe, and honestly the reason the ad revenues keep declining is because the AmeriKan corporate media is nothing but a lying piece of agenda-pushing crap.
