The list of wounds was: knee, legs, foot, buttocks, foot, graze shoulder, graze wrist, elbow.

Sounds like these Chicago gun violence people should enroll in some marksmanship classes. Hardly a life threatening wound in the bunch. And it sounds like if a few of them had been an inch the other way, they'd have been near-misses.

nice graph here, shows continuous decline since 1999, increasing decline since 2010 (Hey, Rahm Emmanuel's been in office for 3 years, hasn't he, Jong?)

Chicago is still higher than Illinois overall, and also than the national average.

Here's some numbers:

2010

Aggravated assault. 13,757

Murder/homicide 432

Total 173,951

Violent 28,402



2013 (Projected. The year ain't over yet, is it?)

Aggravated assault. 10,227

Murder/homicide 336

Total 161,665

Violent 24,241

Careful, NOBC - You'll get labeled an "Obamabot grasping at straws" if you keep spouting such useless things as FACTS. Righties really hate facts, it would seem.

Rappy's response? "You're lying, gullible ( believing in some BS you heard on msnbc ) or hard of hearing."

Yeah, I know. But I can't help myself. I know stuff is wrong. And I've caught myself in a key phrase. Seems like whenever I write, "I'm too lazy to look into this myself," I end up doing it. And I end up, mostly, proving, with those stupid old facts, that I was right.

Maybe I gotta not be so lazy. I only spent about 45 minutes on research this morning, time I was already up anyway, because I couldn't sleep, and look how much I found.

But the Homicide total in 2012 was 506.

Of course the Post tries to spin a couple of months 2013 data into a reduction, but there's a lot of year left.
