Rahm’s Chicago War Zone: 6 People Killed Over Weekend – Already Matches 2011 Murder Total

Rahm Emanuel is doing a real bang-up job in Chicago, isn’t he?? Seems to be more like a “Bang-Bang” job, as Rahm Emanuel has sat by and watched Chicago’s murder rate go through the roof.

Just this past weekend, 6 people in Chicago were shot and killed, and another 14 were wounded, as Chicago’s 2012 murder total has already equaled the city’s murder rate for the entire year of 2011.

Could Rahm and the Democrats be purposely standing by and allowing the gun violence to escalate as a way to try and cut back farther on gun laws?

We wouldn’t put it past them, as we have good evidence that the corrupt Obama administration has already allowed guns to “walk” in the Obama administration’s failed “Fast and Furious” gun running scandal. Reports say that the Obama administration allowed criminals and terrorists to purchase high-powered assault weapons, and then didn’t track the weapons, which were used to kill Americans and many Mexicans. Once the very troubling details started coming out, as usual, the Obama administration tried to coverup their crimes, and blame their scandal on the Bush administration.

Chicago surpassed last year’s total of 435 homicides Monday when a man died after being shot, authorities said.

The victim was one of two people wounded in separate shootings that occurred just four blocks and half an hour apart Monday morning in the South Chicago neighborhood.

The first shooting occurred at 9:51 a.m. in the 8000 block of South Manistee Avenue, police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli said.

A male, whose age was not immediately known, was hospitalized for multiple gunshot wounds to the leg and arm. He was reported in serious condition.

The second shooting occurred at 10:34 a.m. when a man in his 30s was shot in the 7900 block of South Escanaba Avenue.

He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office, which had no further information on the victim.

Area South detectives are investigating.

This comes after a man was shot and killed inside a home late Sunday on the South Side, marking the city’s 435th homicide of the year — equaling the total last year.

Bariffe Fitz, 68, was found shot in the chest about 11 p.m. inside a residence in the 9400 block of South La Salle Street.

“It’s a disappointing milestone,” Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said on the CBS 2 Morning News. “You can’t manage this and you can’t talk about murder in a positive fashion.”

While murders in Chicago will easily exceed last year’s total, the murder rate has been declining since April 1, when police began to initiate new gang-fighting strategies, McCarthy said. The numbers are high because of a big spike in violence in the first three months of the year, McCarthy said.

One of those gang-fighting components includes denying individual recognizance bonds to gang members. So far, 5,500 I bonds have been denied to keep gang members in jail while police work to investigate crimes.

Over the weekend, six people were killed and 14 wounded.

The city’s 434th homicide of the year happened Sunday night when a man died after he was shot in the chest on the Southwest Side, authorities said.

The 35-year-old man was shot at 7:59 p.m. in the 1300 block of West 13th, police said.

A neighbor, who asked not to be named, said her children under age 7 were home and dropped to the floor when they heard shots.

“It’s scary. The babies are in here watching TV and this happens,” she told the Sun-Times.

While the city had reported there were 433 homicides in 2011, a police official on Sunday said the number of homicides last year has been updated to 435 after two deaths were reclassified.

Also on Sunday, at 4:30 p.m., a 23-year-old man was shot in a South Side alley.

Police covered the body with a sheet as passersby craned their necks near 69th and Halsted for a look.

“It’s wild around here all the time,” said a man smoking a cigarette a few yards away, who asked not to be named. “That’s the nature of the beast. It’s sad, really.”

About six hours earlier, a 21-year-old man was killed in a shooting in the 1100 block of North Keystone in Humboldt Park, police said. A 17-year-old male was also wounded in the shooting and taken in good condition to Stroger Hospital.

Earlier still Sunday, around 2:40 a.m., 22-year-old Johnny White was shot and killed while standing in a South Side parking lot on the 7500 block of South Rhodes, police said.

On Saturday morning, 21-year-old Devon Greer was fatally shot through a window while playing video games with his brother in an apartment in Humboldt Park, authorities said.

Greer, of south suburban Lansing, was inside an apartment on the 3800 block of West Augusta Boulevard when shots rang out around 3:40 a.m., authorities said. Greer’s brother was not injured.

And we wonder why many jackholes call Rahm “The Godfather”? Not anymore.
