Let's Take a Look at a 'Real' Black Problem, Shootings and Murders-- Part 1: And These Aren't Being Done by Police or Confederate Statue

From the January 2, 2020,  Hey Jackass !  Illustrating Chicago values site.

Okay, every so often I like to put forth this item about a major problem in Chicago (as well as in most major U.S. cities) and that is Black on Black crime, especially when it comes to shootings and murders.  

Now, personally, I think this is a much bigger problem than Confederate statues and flags which, in themselves, may bring back bad memories, but, other than the statue that "fell" on the "protester" at Portsmouth, Virginia, at the behest of a Virginia state legislator, not one Confederate statue has attacked a black person.  No Confederate flag has flapped a black person either.

As far as I know, this site I am using is entirely legit and uses police reports to compile their very extensive list.  Well worth checking it out.

They even have maps and lots of charts and a list of neighborhoods affected by the violence.  Unfortunately, it does not list specifically the race of the victims, but looking at the names and where the shootings took place, one can get an idea of who is doing all this.

The majority of these numbers involved Blacks.

CHICAGO WEEK IN PROGRESS (12/27 to 1/2)

Shot and Killed:  12

Shot and Wounded:  33

FINAL DECEMBER NUMBERS FOR CHICAGO

Shot and Killed:  52 (an increase of 86 over 2019)

Shot and Wounded:  213  (an increase of 18% over 2019)

I'll give the totals for 2020 in the next post.

This Makes You Wonder Where BLM Priorities Are?

From November 24, 2020,Chicago Sun-Times "Chicago hits 700 homicides in 2020; 6 die over weekend" by David Struett, CST Wire reporter.

"Chicago reached 700 homicides this year during a violent weekend that saw six killed and 46 wounded -- the second time the city reached the 700 milestone in two decades.

Meanwhile, U.S. deaths the last three years in Afghanistan:

2017:  11

2018:  13

2019:  17

Chicago has had a 53% increase in shootings this year over the same time frame in 2019.

The vast majority of those killed and wounded have been Blacks.  And, the shooters were mostly Blacks.

And yet, BLM is just focused on Blacks shot by police and Confederate monuments.

Makes you wonder just a little bit.

Maybe BLM Should Re-evaluate Its Goals.  --Old Secesh

This Week and A Look Back at August for Chicago Mayhem

 From Hey Jackass!  Illustrating Chicago Values site.

I put these statistics in to show that those good folks over at Black Lives Matter sure aren't doing their job very well.  This should be their major goal to stop the shootings and killings of Blacks in Chicago, but they seem to be otherwise occupied.

The sad thing is that the culprits in these shootings are almost always other Blacks.

And, we have a three-day weekend coming up, so watch out!!

WEEK IN PROGRESS  (August 30 to September 5)

15 Killed, 66 Wounded

***********************************

A LOOK BACK AT SOME AUGUST STATS:

63 Killed

3 shot by CPD, 1 fatally

Averaged 16 shot a day

59 males killed, 7 female

52 Blacks, 8 Hispanics, 3 Whites killed

5 children 12 and younger shot

73 teenagers shot, 7 fatally

Austin neighborhood led all other 'Hoods with  47 shot, 8 fatal

On That Second BLM Attack on Downtown Chicago, August 10

Most everyone knows about the recent round of rioting and looting committed by Black Lives Matter on downtown Chicago during the wee hours of August 10.

This supposedly was caused by a police shooting in Englewood Chicago neighborhood when a black suspect supposedly fired on the police when they attempted to arrest him.  He got shot.

The police had their version of the events and community activists (is anybody in certain parts of Chicago not a community activist?) had another account.

Unfortunately there was no Chicago police body cam film of the events because they were a new unit and hadn't been issued cameras.  That was a huge mistake on the police and city government.  In today's climate, any police dealings with black people has to be thoroughly and completely documented on film.

However, no video has appeared to back the community activists claim that the police shot the guy for no reason.  Whenever you see video of any police-black confrontations, all you see is every single black person filming the event on their $1000 cell phones.  (These are the same people who can't afford $150 to $200 tablets for their children to keep up with their school studies in the virus days.)

Since the Blacks haven't come up with videos proving their side correct, I am going to have to side with the police version.

A Black Convicted Felon Carjacking Suspect on Parole Shoots Three Police Officers in Chicago on July 30

Thursday morning, July 30, three Chicago police officers were shot when a black man in custody opened fire on them.  He was a convicted felon with a long criminal history and was on parole at the time.

This happened at the Grand Central District police station in the Austin neighborhood (one of the worst areas in the city for the shootings and murders.

One officer was struck in the shoulder, another in his ballistic vest and a third in his hip.  Two were treated and released and one remained hospitalized as of Saturday.

Of course, how the suspect could have been under arrest and still have a weapon (supposedly secreted in his private parts area) needs to be further investigated.

Officers returned fire, striking the 25-year-old offender, but he was not killed.  Here was a black man doing something like this and not being killed.  How about that?

I have not heard anything about BLM or the NAACP or any black community activists saying they are sorry about what happened to the police.  They were probably celebrating the shootings.

I did not see any "demonstrations" anywhere saying thank you to the cops for not killing this felon.  I did not see any where they had posters and signs saying they were sorry that one of their people had done such a dastardly act.

Black On Black Murders and Shootings in Chicago-- Part 2: A Very Bloody 4th of July Weekend

Last month, July, 578 people were shot in the city -- at least 58 of them juveniles, including a 9-year-old black boy killed by gunfire Friday (July 31) night as he played outside on the Near North Side of the city.  July's youngest shooting victim was a 3-year-old black girl who was struck while riding in her family's car in South Shore.

A day before that, the city saw the largest mass shooting in recent memory when 15 black people were shot outside a funeral home in Gresham on the South Side.

The month opened with a bloody Fourth of July weekend that saw 79 people shot across the city, 5 of them fatally.

Eleven of those victims were minors, and two of them -- 13-year-old Amaria Jones and 7-year-old Natalia Wallace -- were killed.

Again, most of the killed and wounded have been Blacks.  And they were shot or killed by other Blacks.

Meanwhile, BLM and their white minions were having their own violent riot with police at the Christopher Columbus statue, which they demand to be taken down.  Some eighteen police were injured by them.  (By the way, the statue was taken down.)

All the while, their fellow Blacks were shooting and killing each other.  Exactly how important are Black lives to an organization named Black Lives Matter?

Chicago's July Murders Jump 139% Over July 2019-- Part 1: And It Was Mostly All Black On Black, More Dangerous Than Afghanistan

From the August 2, 2020, Chicago Sun-Times.

Murders in Chicago more than doubled over what they were for July of 2019.  Shootings also increased.

And, of course, most of this was Black on Black murders and shootings.  These folks who get out there and BLM it most be confused or they wouldn't be doing this to each other.There were 105 murders reported last month, a 139% increase over the 44 in July 2019.  The 406 shooting incidents last month was a 75% increase from the 232 reported for July 2019.

Last month, no U.S. soldiers were casualties in Afghanistan.  Nor were there any casualties in June, May and April.  So far this year, U.S. deaths were 4 in January, 3 in February and 2 in March.  Total U.S. deaths in Afghanistan so far this year have been 9.

The 106 homicides in Chicago in July brought the total number of deaths for the year to 430.

You might be able to deduce that Chicago is a lot more dangerous than Afghanistan.

And, again, the vast majority of these were Blacks being killed or shot by other Blacks.  Not a single one was killed by any Confederate flags or statues.

Where's the Anger?-- Part 2

Some more Chicago headlines.

**   July 31--  9-year-old boy dies after being shot in Chicago's Near North side.  (Site of the former Cabrini-Green housing complex.)

One 8-year-old shot Thursday (July 30.   In 2020 so far, 14 under the age of 18 have died.  Four of them were 10 or younger.)

**  July 31--  13 shot Thursday in Chicago, including a teenager and 8-year-old boy and a 10-month-old girl critically wounded in shooting on Chicago freeway.

This refers to Blacks.

And, we just finished another weekend, when the heaviest assaults begin.  Wonder how many black children were wounded or killed?  How many Blackswere wounded or killed?  And the real sad thing about this is that the police aren't doing this (nor or any Confederate statues).  These people are being shot by other Blacks.

There was a very good column in the August 2, 2020, Chicago Sun-Times "When will black lives matter to us all?" by John W. Fountain.  He makes some good points.

Some Staggering and Disturbing Numbers Out of Chicago in This Day and Age of BLM

These figures came from the web site"Hey Jackass!  Illustrating Chicago Values."  Really worth a visit to get the numbers.

As most know, Chicago has a serious problem with Blacks shooting, wounding and killing other Blacks and has had for quite some time.

While all these demonstrators are in the streets saying that Black Lives Matter, it is too bad they can't get their own people to stop shooting and killing each other.

These figures for the Week in Progress (6-21 to 6-27). June to Date and Year to Date.  I gathered the information from the site on June 24.

S= shot, K=killed, W-wounded

WEEK IN PROGRESS:

S&K--  12
S&W--  94

JUNE TO DATE

S&K--  61
S&W--  454

YEAR TO DATE

S&K--  283
S&W--  1337

Not all are Blacks, though.

HERE ARE THE DAY-TODAY FIGURES FOR THIS PAST WEEKEND:

June 19, Friday:  2 S&K, 17 S&W
June 20, Saturday:  6 S&K, 29 S&W
June 21, Sunday:  3 S&K, 24 S&W

RACE OF VICTIM AND ASSAILANT for MURDERS in 2020

Black   241 victims, 22 assailants
Hispanic:  49 victims, 6 assailants
White:  14 Victims, 2 assailants
Unknown:  6 victims, 272 assailants

The 272 unknown assailants in the last line were mostly Black.  Blacks usually don't inform police on other Blacks shooting people.

There was even a three-year-old black child killed last weekend.

And since May 25, there have been two black men killed by the police.  In Chicago, in June this year, probably fifty Blacks killed by Blacks.
