It's 106 miles to Chicago: Hosted by Old Pio

Re: It's 106 miles to Chicago: Hosted by Old Pio

From 2009 -2015 Alaska had 152 gun related homicides, or given the AK population, about 20/100,000 aggregate, 3.4/100k annually.

Over the last 6 years Englewood in Chicago has an aggregate gun related homicide rate a tad over 1/100. They were shot at a rate of 5/100. The Austin area has more shootings but also more people so the aggregate gun murder rate for 6 years is only around two hundred times greater than AK at 5.5/1000. About 5x that wounded.

To be fair though, Hyde Park is pretty safe.

Commissioner Suggests U.N. Send Troops To Fight ‘Quiet Genocide’ Of Gun Violence In Chicago
Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin went even further on Thursday, suggesting the United Nations perhaps send in peacekeepers in the face of what he called a “quiet genocide.”

Boykin was traveling to New York to meet with Oscar Fernandez-Taranco of Argentina, the U.N. Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Support, to seek international help with “horrific levels of shootings” and other violent crime in West Side and South Side communities.

“I’m hoping to appeal to the U.N. to actually come to Chicago and meet with victims of violence, and maybe even possibly help out in terms of peacekeeping efforts, because I think it’s so critical for us to make sure that these neighborhoods are safe,” Boykin said at O’Hare International Airport on Thursday.

Cook County Commissioner is trying to get the US to pull out of the UN all that much faster, I see. Does he not expect the INVASION!!!! reaction from much of the country?

A Chicago police commander who had complained about the difficulty of keeping violent criminals off the streets was fatally shot Tuesday while pursuing a suspect in the Loop in a rare outburst of daytime gun violence downtown.
Cmdr. Paul Bauer, 53, was shot to death at the Thompson Center after chasing a man fleeing from tactical officers who tried to stop him, police officials said. Bauer confronted the man, who opened fire as the two struggled, killing the 31-year department veteran, according to police officials and other sources. Bauer had been in the area after attending “active shooter” training, which prepares officers for mass shootings. He also had a meeting with aldermen scheduled for later in the day.
