Life in the hood

Homocides. What is the first thing you think of when you hear that word? Baltimore and Chicago? Blacks? Baltimore has surpassed Chicago as the city with the highest homocide rate. There is a website called HeyJackass that keeps track of Chicago homocides. Did you know that there is a shooting every 2:51 minutes in Chicago? A homocide every 16:45 minutes? 79.1% of victims (311 people) are Black. 17.0% (67 people) are Hispanic. In 290 of those cases, there has been no suspect charged! 2397 persons have been shot so far in 2015 in Chicago. 359 of those have been killed; the rest wounded.
