Heads Way the Hell Up! Has Chicago Become as Dangerous as the Middle East? Chicago in Absolute Crisis! 90 Dead 472 Shot (Video) WTH!

The Month of August in Chicago was very violent as 90 homicides and 472 people shot brings a crisis to the city

After 90 killed in August, Chicago may soon pass last year’s homicide toll

After ending August with the most homicides for any month in more than 20 years, Chicago is on the verge of surpassing last year’s toll with four months to go in 2016.

Through the first eight months of the year, the city recorded 472 homicides, 150 more than a year earlier and just one shy of the total for all of 2015, according to official Police Department statistics. The eight-month toll marked the most killings in Chicago since 488 people were slain through August 1997.

This August alone ended with 90 homicides, the deadliest single month since July 1993 when 99 were killed.

Asked during a brief telephone interview Wednesday what the department could do better to stem the violence, police Superintendent Eddie Johnson pointed to seizures of illegal guns closing in on 6,000 so far this year. Johnson, who again blamed the proliferation of guns and lenient sentencing laws for much of the mayhem, is pushing for lawmakers in Springfield to craft legislation calling for stiffer sentences for repeat gun offenders.

“These men and women are working their tails off out here,” Johnson said of officers. “And I’ll tell you this, it’s frustrating for them to arrest a guy on Friday for an illegal gun and then next Thursday they see this guy right back out on the street with another illegal gun.”

Even at 472 homicides for the first eight months, the Police Department’s statistics do not include killings on area expressways, those that are labeled justifiable homicides and death investigations that could later be reclassified as homicides.

ARE YOU COMPLETELY PREPARED? 

IT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT PREP YOU CAN DO!   

The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is  is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.
