After last year's news-dominating surge in homicides, everyone in Chicago is looking for answers. A new study of last year’s spike in gun violence, published on Tuesday by the University of Chicago’s Crime Lab, is more descriptive than prescriptive, but the prevalence and increased deadliness of firearms in Chicago it finds jumps off the page. Homicides in Chicago involve guns at rates higher than many other cities; guns being used are more lethal than in the past; and non-gun crimes aren’t rising the same way gun crimes are, the study determined. |

All that is required to reduce this violence is to lock the miscreants up for a long time at the first opportunity instead of releasing them on miniscule bond or probation.
Locking them up will serve two purposes. One, it reduces the number of thugs on the street. Two, it serves notice to the ones that are left that continuing criminal behavior will get them locked up.
Until the democrats in charge of Chicago get this message the crime and killings will continue out of control. |

The article SHOULD be about "How Democrats, And Their Stubborn 'Progressive' Mismanagement, Negatively Affect Liberty And Prosperity In The Murder Capital Of The United States"

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
