Four shootings -- two of them double homicides -- and a stabbing left 7 people dead Saturday, authorities said. In what appeared to be the last homicide of the day, a 32-year-old man was fatally stabbed about 11:50 p.m. in the South Shore neighborhood on the South Side, police said. The stabbing happened during a domestic argument in the 2500 block of East 73rd Street, Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Ron Gaines said. Byline corrected to site style by Staff.

Prohibition Chicago was a peaceful paradise compared to what Rham has going on. Just another day in the brokest city, in the brokest state, in the brokest nation in history.

City/County government just has not yet enacted the right combination of anti-gun/knife/weapons laws. Also waiting to be enacted are proper anti-crime laws. Passing the appropriate laws is the answer to all this murder and meyham. Eventually the politicians will hit upon the right combination of laws and peace and brotherly love will prevail. s/o

Do the "journalists" at the tribune, or any broadcast outlets in Chicago ever perform their duty by going beyond simply keeping a clinical running score of the murders, or do they just blame the guns? Do they dare ask the mayor about efforts to crack down on gang shootings such as a project exile law to slap thugs with a manadatory 10 year semtence for using an illegal firearm in a crime? The answers are no. These are rhetorical questions because the media in Chicago is an arm of the democrat party who might lose access to the democrat elite cocktail circuit, or much worse, If they pressed little rahm for answers.

Put Rahm in a patrol car and have him do a ride-along to see what´s really up every night in Chicago. Sitting up in his cushy lair he hasn´t a clue and probably doesn´t actually want one. An emergency ignored is an emergency foiled.

This foolishness would stop if we started publicly flogging people who commit weapons mayhem until they sag into unconsciousness. About three such events in south Chicago would result in lots of discarded guns ending up in trashcans, never to be claimed by anyone.

Name another country, other than Africa, whose immigrants come here, tear up great neighborhoods and homes, ruin businesses, drop out of school too stoopid to learn much of our culture, refuse to assimilate,and then proceed to murder each other at an alarming rate.
Back in the 1920´s there was an Idlewild project building bridges near Ellis Island, and the pay rates were posted for new immigrants to see and hopefully sign up to work...here´s what that sign said, and you´ll see why this Italian guy is still p.o.´d at the liars in the ass-press enemedia for coddling one group over another!
Whites $1.30 an hour Blacks $1.20 an hour Italians $1.10 an hour
I´m still upset about THAT, and the fact that they lie in public schools about Columbus being a crazy genocidal maniac who was lost at sea, yet Martin Luther King, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson, three black African shakedowm artists, are supposed to be "revered" by the low-info school kids who are subject to this brainwashing every damn day in schools across America, right in neighborhoods where blacks murder other blacks on a daily basis--Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Houston, Philadelphia, New York, Pittsburgh,Detroit, Gary, Indiana.... and on and on....such lovely wonderful people, those violent animal murderers! What other group does THAT?

I siggest a test market of Obama´s gun control, right here in Chicago! See how effective their plans are. No, gun control is about confiscation. period.
All they have to do to curb gun violence is increase any gun crime to a federal felony, with stiff mandatory sentences. Done.
But the atty lobby won´t let them.

Which United States president will go down in history as the greatest humanitarian to have served in the office? The Republican Herbert Hoover is often known as the "Great Humanitarian" for his work administering famine relief in post-World War I Europe (and Bolshevik Russia) in the 1920s — but he did all that before he actually became president. Others might make the case for Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the Democrat who succeeded Hoover in the White House, whose New Deal initiatives relieved poverty and sickness on a grand scale within the United States.

There was an 1854 Lefaucheux pinfire pistol carbine on display, as well as an 1876 .22-caliber derringer in a glass box. But neither was for sale. It wouldn´t have mattered if they were. The gun enthusiasts who showed up in Rosemont on Friday for what was billed as the first-ever Chicagoland Gun Show didn´t seem interested in gawking at antique pistols. Some wanted to buy high-powered rifles, semi-automatic handguns and high-capacity magazines. But there wasn´t a single gun dealer at the show, only a Chicago collector who said he was there to show off his collection.

Springfield — Citing inaction on pensions, a prominent Wall Street bond-rating agency downgraded Illinois’ bond rating Friday, making the state the nation’s worst credit risk. The move by Standard & Poor’s to rate Illinois’ bonds at A- with a negative outlook comes as the state is preparing to go out on the market Wednesday with a $500 million bond issue. With the new lowered rating, Illinois eclipsed California as the least creditworthy state in the country in Standard & Poor’s eyes and could face higher borrowing costs. “We assessed what the pension fund status is,

Years of overhaul efforts have done little to improve schools in Illinois, and a comprehensive and sustained program to change how children are educated in the state´s public schools is needed, leaders of an education reform group said Tuesday. "We´re going to have to hit this with a 2-by-4," said Robin Steans, executive director of Advance Illinois.

Caterpillar Inc.’s stock was downgraded to “Neutral” from “Overweight” by JPMorgan Chase & Co. analyst Ann Duignan Monday. Duignan, who had rated Peoria-based Caterpillar “overweight” since April 2009, cited pressures on the sector to reduce costs and the potential negative impact on the U.S. coal and energy sectors following the re-election of President Barack Obama in downgrading the stock. Mining remains “pressured as companies continue to assess their investment plans for the longer term, and cuts are becoming more broad-based,” Duignan said in a research note.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B.

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
