Chicago murder rate far worse than during Al Capone ‘gangland’ days

"Ah, the good ole days! The difference is Capone’s thugs only shot other thugs. Today’s thugs
shoot every one, especially those pain in the ass innocent bystanders. And they have no intention, ever, of submitting to a background check or applying for a permit. This is the bullshit that libtard
lawmakers cannot seem to understand, or, do not want to understand. “Never let a crisis go to waste.” Now is the time to disarm Americans is their creed. So this will need to continue for a while before these libtard geniuses figure it out. Meantime send them more ammo. And I see that Jessie Jackass Jackson ,wants Hussein to come to Chicago to stop the violence.  Great idea. Let's have Jessie, Big Al Sharpnuts, Hussein, and all of the race baiters walk the streets of Chicago at night to show their concern. But, with no SS protection, and no weapons for themselves.Now that's change I could believe in." MC

February 1, 2013 (CHICAGO) (WLS) – In this I-Team report, Chicago’s rising murder rate in a new context, how the numbers of shooting deaths compare to the city’s most notorious crime era, the one that has tarnished Chicago’s reputation around the world for a century.
The surprising stats show the city is worse off now in the category of murder than at the height of the era that has driven Chicago’s reputation for almost a century, Capone’s “gangland” Chicago.

Let’s compare two months: January 1929, leading up to the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, and last month, January 2013. Forty-two people were killed in Chicago last month, the most in January since 2002, and far worse than the city’s most notorious crime era at the end of the Roaring Twenties.
Even though the image of Chicago, perpetuated by Hollywood over the years, was that mobsters routinely mowed down people on the streets, the crime stats tell a different story. January 2013′s bloodshed has caught the attention of Chicagoans, politicians, the White House and people around the world.
In January 1929 there were 26 killings. Forty-two people were killed in Chicago last month, the most in January since 2002, and far worse than the city’s most notorious crime era at the end of the Roaring Twenties.
Even though the image of Chicago, perpetuated by Hollywood over the years, was that mobsters routinely mowed down people on the streets, the crime stats tell a different story. The figures from January 2013 are significantly higher than the January of Al Capone’s most famous year.
