In 2014 this is what you can expect in Chicago, Crime is 80% higher than the rest of the state of Illinois, with violent crime 151% that of the rest of the state. Even property crime is 69% higher then the rest of the state of Illinois. Population of Illinois is just under 13 million and the population of Chicago is just under 3 million. This tells me that the population of Chicago is roughly 10 million less then the rest of the State is still a hosting 80% to 151% more crime. This year there have been 1045 violent crimes in Chicago per 100,000 people and nationally there have been 387 per 100,000 people, this makes Chicago almost 3 times greater crime then the rest of the nation. This is interesting since there is gun control in this city and has been since 1982. Now to be fair you only have a 1 in 19 chance of being a victim of a crime in Chicago and 1 in 96 chance that, that crime will be violent and for the record 3% of the cities in Chicago do have more crime then Chicago (I know hard to believe). Since 2010 the murder rate was around430 until 2012 in which it has taken a jump to 500, which is 18.5 murders for every 100,000 people and to be fair the murder rate at the moment 6months into the year is at 431 this year 2014 (yes expecting another jump). Yet to completely be fair I must say that there has been a rate 0f 29% drop in Homicides since 2003 but that is still far less than the rate drop in Houston (36%), New York (46%) and Los Angeles (50%).
The School system is ranks 5 out of ten by great schools and the city holds a ten percent unemployment rate. 10% of the families in Illinois are beneath the poverty level according to the current census statistics and if that holds proportionately then than 2.5% of the city’s population lives lower then poverty level for this country.
Detroit not to far from Chicago dealt with progressive Democrats for 50 years and now it is in bankruptcy and looks much like a war zone. Statistically speaking Chicago may head in that direction if progressive values of the city being more important than its people continue for any length of time. Other large city’s have found answer for their problems that Chicago seems to be reaching in the dark still and that is a direct result of its leadership.
Rahm Emanuel is a democratic progressive which in today’s day and age is the same as a socialist. He worked for the great socialist of our time Barack Obama and is a follower of Sal Alinsky’s which another way of saying is, yes we learned from the Nazi’s. This small glimpse of the current state of affairs of Chicago is a quick glimpse into our national future. A propaganda system written by the people who brought you the Holocaust and a national crisis brought to you by the same people who have been working out their hope and change on the American people.
Ten to twenty years from today Chicago will be exactly like Detroit if we as a people do not recognize what these people are attempting to do. National socialism was wrong then it is wrong today, keep that in mind each weekend your read about another murder in Chicago.
