McCroskey Posted April 21, 2014 at 02:00 PM Share Posted April 21, 2014 at 02:00 PM This is all guns fault! /purple Not so much failed policing as the failed city government and their inability to bring jobs and economic stability to these neighborhoods. I'm sure they'll all have a million excuses and just go on blaming "gun ownership", as if these murderers had FOIDs and CCW permits. Yeah right.

Blythes Posted April 21, 2014 at 03:33 PM Share Posted April 21, 2014 at 03:33 PM Violence plagues many Chicago neighborhoods. The staccato sound of gunfire echoes on streets and alleys. Blue lights illuminate darkened scenes. Tribune photographers are documenting how gun violence shocks and destabilizes neighborhoods — and how families cope with the constant pain of loss. This ongoing special report contains photo galleries, videos, links to Tribune crime apps and overnight accounts of crimes. Because of the nature of violence, you will encounter graphic images and explicit language. But please watch.

The nice warm weather we have had isn't even as warm as it will be in short order. GFZ @ Parks didnot stop these Gang shootings!! But...but...but... they forbade the law abiding carriers from carrying there because WE would be the problem? The parks prohibition is one of the most ridiculous of them all.

Some time ago, it was a "gang violence" and "gang related shooting." Now it's "gun violence" and "gun crimes". Must be better for tourism to say "gun" than "gang".

wven33 Posted April 21, 2014 at 09:07 PM Share Posted April 21, 2014 at 09:07 PM Maybe the answer is they should print out billboards and giant 20×20 gun free zone posters and start putting them all over Englewood and the West side of Chicago. Maybe that will stop all these shootings! (Purple) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C0untZer0 Posted April 23, 2014 at 12:37 PM Share Posted April 23, 2014 at 12:37 PM A new prosecutorial unit to focus on how FEDERAL laws to focus solely on how best to use federal statutes to go after violence. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2014-04-21/news/chi-feds-create-unit-to-combat-chicago-violence-20140421_1_chicago-violence-chicago-office-new-unit This sounds promising to me because: 1) historically Chicago has lagged behind almost all other cities in enforcing federal gun laws. 2) the inner city has a constituency that is generally sympathetic towards the criminals spawned within it's own communities and the politicians they elect reflect that. 3) there has been an alliance between local politicians and gangs for many years, hampering state and local efforts to address gang violence: http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/January-2012/Gangs-and-Politicians-An-Unholy-Alliance/ 4) the Illinois Black Caucus has blocked efforts to enact tougher state laws and sentencing for repeat weapons offenses. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-11-08/news/ct-met-illinois-legislature-emanuel-guns-1108-20131108_1_gun-bill-gun-legislation-lawmakers This may be a way around the state and city gridlock that allows career criminals to spend most of their time free in the neighborhoods committing murder and mayhem.
