You can't find a much safer urban area then the north side of chicago, nearly all of the violence takes place on the south side or west side of the city.Quote:

One day after 13 people were wounded in a park on Chicago's Southwest Side, shining a national spotlight on gun violence in the Windy City once more, shootings continued Friday evening into early Saturday in the Windy City.
At least four men were killed in shootings citywide since Friday evening and a fifth individual -- a 14-year-old boy -- was fatally shot Friday afternoon, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The teen -- Tommy McNeal, 14 -- was found lying unresponsive with a gunshot wound to his back in the 6900 block of South Vernon Avenue about 1:35 p.m. Friday, the Tribune reports.
In other fatal shootings, 18-year-old Jaleel Pearson was shot in the arm and chest about 6:15 p.m. Friday in the 2200 block of East 71st Street. He was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital at 6:59 p.m. Friday, according to DNAinfo Chicago.
Shortly after the shooting that killed Pearson, 21-year-old Brenden Temple was shot multiple times in the head in the 6600 block of South Honore Street in the city's West Englewood neighborhood. Temple was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital at 7:18 p.m. Friday.
Later Friday, a 37-year-old man who has not been identified as of Saturday morning was fatally shot in an alley about 11:10 p.m. in Englewood, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
About 3 a.m. Saturday, 22-year-old Jamal Coleman was shot multiple times in the leg in the 1200 block of West Washburne Avenue and taken to Stroger Hospital, according to the Sun-Times. He was pronounced dead there at 3:22 a.m.
About an hour later, around 4 a.m., a 41-year-old man was shot in the abdomen in the 0-100 block of East Chestnut Street in the city's Gold Coast neighborhood during an apparent argument over a parking spot, according to NBC Chicago. The victim was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in serious condition.
At least two other men -- ages 18 and 30 -- were wounded in separate non-fatal shootings in the city's West Pullman and Lawndale neighborhoods early Saturday.
Later Saturday, the Rev. Corey Brooks of New Beginnings Church, who has been serving as a spokesman for the family of 3-year-old Deonta' Howard, who was wounded in the Thursday night shooting in the Back of the Yards, is among the organizers of a peace march planned to begin at 7 p.m. at New Beginnings Church near 66th Street and King Drive, ABC Chicago reports.

A federal judge Monday struck down Chicago's ban on handgun sales within the city.
The ordinance, passed by the City Council in 2010, "goes too far in outright banning legal buyers and legal dealers from engaging in lawful acquisitions and lawful sales of firearm," U.S. District Court Judge Edmond Chang wrote, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
The law forbade gun shops and prohibited gun owners from taking firearms outside their homes.
Chang delayed the force of his ruling to give the city time to challenge it.
Four years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Chicago's ban on the possession of guns within city limits was unconstitutional.
Statewide, a week-old law on private gun sales requires a seller to check a buyer's credentials with the state police before transferring ownership.
Another new gun law allows Illinois residents to apply for concealed-carry permits.
Chicago Homicides Down Drastically In 2013 To Fewest Murders Since 1965, Police Say
By DON BABWIN 01/01/14 04:32 PM ET EST AP
"CHICAGO (AP) — Following a year when Chicago led the nation in homicides with more than 500, the city's Police Department said Wednesday that in 2013 the city recorded the fewest killings since 1965 and saw its overall crime rate fall to level not seen since 1972.
The city, which ended the year with a 16 percent drop in crime, saw the numbers of violent crimes, including robbery, aggravated battery and criminal sexual assault drop significantly — some by double digits— as well as drops in burglary and motor vehicle theft....
...by the end of the year the city had recorded 415 homicides, 88 fewer than in 2013 and 20 fewer than in 2012."

I just read that as of today, there are more people signing up for their concealed-carry permits in Chicago than have signed up for Obamacare.
Rep was meant to be "Rollo's stroking".Quote:

President Obama may have gotten our troops out of Iraq, but the gunfire in his hometown of Chicago is still earning it a searing nickname coined by young people who live there.
Chiraq.
On Easter weekend, 45 people were shot in the city, six of them children.
Five youngsters under the age of 15—four girls and a boy—were shot in a playground where they had gone after Easter services at a nearby church.
When U.S. Attorney Zachary Fardon took his post six months ago amid pressure to curtail Chicago‘s relentless street violence, he was clear that federal authorities were not going to be able to swoop in and make arrests that would suddenly solve the intractable problem.
While Fardon has downplayed expectations, the announcement Monday that he has created a new Violent Crimes section at the U.S. Attorney’s Office clearly reflects how gun violence has become a high-profile issue for an office better known for combating terrorism and public corruption.
After months of consultations on how his office spends its resources, Fardon decided to spin off 16 prosecutors from the larger Narcotics and Gangs section to focus solely on how best to use federal statutes to go after violence, said Randall Samborn, a spokesman for Fardon.
Once again, ignore the outcry from certain constituencies and start handing out federal sentences, ten years at a time and far away from home. If you can put a copper in prison for 4 years over a slap, why not send away a convicted gang banger who lit up a park or a street corner for ten years?
Two words Zach - Project Exile. Look it up and what it did to Virginia gun crime rates. Word got around damn quick on the east coast AND it was supported by the NRA of all groups. Of course, it was immediately branded as "racist" by anti-prison groups, the Black Congressional Caucus and others who said it would adversely impact the minority communities, the very communities bleeding into the streets and being devastated by gun violence. That alone ought to tell you it worked wonders.
