MURDER CITY USA: Chicago Once Again Scores Most Homicides of Any City in America\u2026 More Than Most States!<\/a><\/p>\n

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot might not have shouted \u201cWe\u2019re Number One!\u201d while pumping her fist as the clock struck midnight last night. However under her leadership, the Windy City easily clinched the top spot for most homicides of any American city. In fact, it wasn\u2019t even close.<\/p>\n

Hey Jackass<\/a>\u00a0had the tentative numbers this morning: 842 homicides committed in Chicago city limits. That number reflects a 6% higher body count than 2020. The tally still remains preliminary as additional victims could still surface or wounded parties may succumb to their injuries.<\/p>\n

Sadly, Hey Jackass writes<\/a>\u00a0about how the numbers oftentimes slowly continue to rise even after the clock strikes midnight.<\/p>\n

With mere hours left in this ****show of a year, we wanted to post a quick note to illustrate how the year end totals are accounted for and how best to compare this year to years past.<\/p>\n

Past year end totals reflected on this site account for resolved death investigations, found bodies and late passings that can and will occur for many years after the clock strikes midnight on Jan 1st. We apply those incidents towards the time of occurrence, not date of death. Other agencies, such as the CPD, choose to add those resolved death investigations, found bodies and late passings to the year in which the death was recorded.<\/p>\n

For example, when the clock struck midnight on January 1st, 2021, the final totals for 2020 were:
\nShot & Killed:\u00a0719<\/strong>
\nShot & Wounded:\u00a03,455<\/strong>
\nTotal Shot:\u00a04,174<\/strong>
\nTotal Homicides:\u00a0792<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the nearly 365 lead-filled days since, the totals have shifted as additional homicides have been recorded:
\nShot & Killed:\u00a0723<\/strong>\u00a0(+4)
\nShot & Wounded:\u00a03,451<\/strong>\u00a0(-4)
\nTotal Shot:\u00a04,174<\/strong>\u00a0(0)
\nTotal Homicides:\u00a0797<\/strong>\u00a0(+5)<\/p>\n

2016 showed a similar pattern and eventually broke the 800 barrier unlike this year which accomplished that 90s feat weeks ago. On January 1st 2017, the final totals for 2016 were:
\nShot & Killed:\u00a0713<\/strong>
\nShot & Wounded:\u00a03,665<\/strong>
\nTotal Shot:\u00a04,378<\/strong>
\nTotal Homicides:\u00a0795<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the subsequent years, those totals have been slowly adjusted to show:
\nShot & Killed:\u00a0722<\/strong>\u00a0(+9)
\nShot & Wounded:\u00a03,658<\/strong>\u00a0(-7)
\nTotal Shot:\u00a04,380<\/strong>\u00a0(+2)
\nTotal Homicides:\u00a0808<\/strong>\u00a0(+13)<\/p>\n

Wherever 2021 ends up on January 1st, it will be the most violent year so far this century with a homicide tally that rivals the 1990s and will only increase over the coming years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

3750 additional victims were \u201cmerely\u201d shot and wounded, up 9% year over year from a very bloody 2020\u2019s tally.<\/p>\n

Never fear, though. Mayor Lightfoot is working hard at solving her city\u2019s crisis of violent crime by\u00a0producing \u201cHappy Kwanzaa\u201d videos<\/a> and dressing up as a clown to show she\u2019s doing something about the Chinese flu.<\/p>\n

In the popular NBC television series Chicago PD, Sgt. Hank Voight\u2019s intrepid intelligence unit solves virtually every homicide thrown at them. Meanwhile, here in the real world, thanks to the \u201cno snitch\u201d culture so prevalent among Windy City residents, the CPD has identified assailants in\u00a0only 90 of the city\u2019s 842 homicides<\/a>, or about 10.6% of cases as of December 1st.<\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve reported before, police say about one-third of known murder assailants\u00a0were out on affordable bail<\/a>\u00a0from previous serious felony arrests.<\/p>\n

Those 842 victims represent more homicides than 47 entire states reported in 2019. Someone catches a bullet in Chicago just under once every two hours. Think about that for a moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
