*There were 617 homicides and 2,450 shootings across Chicago throughout 2023, according to Chicago Police Department data, with both totals hitting their lowest levels since 2019. While homicides and shootings decreased, other crimes like robbery, theft, and criminal sexual assault saw increases in 2023.*

Chicago will always be a violent mob-run city, and it was a wonderful city a long time ago, but sadly, they will never bring the murder rate under 100, ever, not as long as Democrats run that city, South Chicago will continue to be a cesspool for crime and lawlessness, as long as you don't allow and unleash the full fury of the police powers nothing will change if you don't throw the book at these people, they will be back on the streets in no time, it is just one of THE most corrupt cities in the US.

Despite the double-digit percentage drop, the homicide total was still the city's fifth-highest for any year since 2004, police data shows, trailing totals from 2022, 2021, 2020 and 2016.

There are shootings in all states, it doesn't matter if they are red or blue..

Your country worries about applying criminal and stupid sanctions to the rest of the world but it doesn't even worry about its own people..

US internal wars are already lost, not even Trump is going to save them...

"You just kind of get used to it", McNulty told the Chicago Tribune. I keep my eyes open because I want to know what's going on around me at all times."

Wise words and not just when you're in Chicago but in any of the other major U.S. cities.

And how much better would the situation be if Illinois weren't surrounded by nutter states?

This appears to be an isolated incident on this unfortunate day

This "isolated incident" is going on all over the US. The solution: More guns. Grade school children should be armed, then fewer of them will die. If these people on this train only had open carry .45 caliber magnums, they'd be alive today.

Chicago isn't the most dangerous city. 43,000 Americans died from gun homicide in 2023. Guns R US.

Just as a matter of curiosity, is there a single thing in the universe you won't use to make a (tired, repetitive, and usually wrong) political point?

Sad, sad day.

BTW. Can someone explain what this means? How can the CTA speak, and is there no human to check the language in what goes out?

Quote: "This heinous and egregious act of violence should never have occurred, nonetheless on a public transit train," the Chicago Transit Authority, known as CTA, said.
