Homicide Numbers Even Higher?

  • The record-setting violence in Chicago is even worse than announced as new evidence shows the city suffered 50 more homicides last year than the numbers publicly reported in the past week.

    The city posted a decades-high homicide count of 812 in 2016, per the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. That’s 15% greater than the 762 murders reported by the city's police department.

    The discrepancy is largely due to the fact that the county tallies “homicides” while the police number counts “murders.” Murders are defined as violent acts subject to criminal prosecution. Homicides, according to the medical examiner, include instances “when the death of a person comes at the hand of another person. This does not imply that all homicides are murders that would be subject to criminal prosecution.”

    The city police count is also lower because it excludes violent, intentional deaths if the act is deemed justified, including police killings of residents.
And HeyJackass.com had 796, which is the closest thing to reality we can locate.

UPDATE: We're told that the six dead actually occurred in 008 in the opening days of February. So how did 009 end up with 6 homicides in 11 days last year? That place was outta control!

The most tragic homicide of all was the killing of the truth by the media.

"Murder numbers so high we can't even keep track". If I knew how to put that in Latin we could slap it on the city seal.

Rahm is countering these fudged numbers by proclaiming a miscount in the amount of tourists who visited Chicago last year. Instead of 'millions,' he meant to say 'billions.'

All Murders are Homicides, but not all Homicides are Murders. Yet, all Homicides entail the taking of a human life by the actions of another human, be it with or without intent. (Murder requires Intent, or actions that a Reasonable Man/Woman/He-She, etc., would know to probably cause death.) So these figures are a Game, with the exception of the County Medical Examiner. And note, that the Medical Examiner is not part of City of Chicago Government, but rather a part of Cook County Government. The M.E. figures are Objective, and one would think that in the 21st Century, we would have an actual Standard for determining Homicides in a major American City. WTF! In addition, do not ignore the Advances in Emergency Medical Technology, which allows the Fire Department to save lives that would have been lost in the 90's. SO THE CITY IS NOT SAFE, DON'T BELIEVE THE BULLSHIT OF COMPARING CURRENT STATS WITH 20 YRS. AGO. WHEN RAHM'S KIDS CAN RIDE THE CTA TO UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO LAB SCHOOL; THEN I'LL BELIEVE CHICAGO IS SAFE. UNTIL THEN, WHICH WILL BE NEVER, ASSUME THAT YOU ARE IN DANGER WHENEVER YOU ARE IN CHICAGO! Remember, Rahm is a Fake Wannabe Tough Guy and a Liar! Baby"G"

Special Ed should be commended with a 28 Years Award.
His hat size even grew 15% over last year.

This should not be a surprise, seeings how the same thing was done last year trying to keep the number below 500.

Someone, somewhere, in government thought that hiding the number and keeping it below 800 is as effective as making a sham wow 19.95 instead of just saying 20 bucks.

Here is something I would like to know. We keep seeing talk about SHOOTINGS right? Well how about we hear the actual number of SHOTS picked up by all those sensors put up to "listen for" shots fired?

Might we see a headline like this;
28,794 shots fired In Windy City
?

Murder -Schmurder, another spike coming :

The Mexican consul in Chicago said that immigrants are flocking to the Windy City before Donald Trump becomes president because Chicago is a sanctuary city, according to a report Tuesday in El Financiero.
Carlos Martin Jimenez was speaking at a recent gathering of Mexican ambassadors and consuls in Mexico City and said that Mexicans in Indiana and Wisconsin are coming to the Chicago consulate due to it being a sanctuary for illegal immigrants.

I don't (ding!) think the Amish are nearly that (ding! ding!) accurate in terms of shot placement . . . but this could (ding! . . . ding! ding!) make for a fun app, where your phone vibrates or makes some sound (ding! ding! ding! . . . ding! ding!) every (ding!) time (ding!) shots ring out.
