Eighty five years under Democratic rule (and the last Republican mayor was Big Bill Thompson - a real piece of work - He ranks among the most unethical mayors in American history)
Despite having some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation (Illinois is rated #3), Chicago just crossed a threshold. One person is shot in just under two hours - 24 hours/day, 365 days/year. Two people are murdered every day.

Of course, the majority of this gun violence is young black male on young black male. Where is the (old white man funded) Black Lives Matter crowd here?
