Looks like a 15-year-old has been charged with the shooting and is in custody. The girl is still in critical condition. Investigation still going on, but police think it was gang related (as the gunman is believed to be a gang member) and that the 30-year-old guy who got shot in the hand was the intended victim.
It sucks that something like this had to happen to a 7-year-old kid. I hope she makes it. I don't have kids of my own and can't imagine what her parents are going through.

Yes I understand per Capita which is why I addressed it. Have you actually bothered reading my reply you wouldn't have asked a silly question.
Do you understand you're complaining about talking about Chicago in a thread about someone getting shot in Chicago?

That's awful, something really needs to be done about gang violence
Chicago does not make the top 30 list per capita either.
The only way it makes that list if they put qualifiers like minimum population and population buckets. (only then because the bucket is so small of course it makes it in the top 30)
2,719,151 @ 563
Greater Chicago area is at 8.0 per 100k and Greater OKC is at 5.2.
National average is 5.0.
National average for cities over 1 million is 8.3%
FBI Group I (250k or bigger), which would cover both in the same bucket the rate is 10.0.
500k or bigger its around 10.0 as well
So Chicago is safer then the average big US city.
OKC is much safer than the average mid size city.
Of course it is. Its the most visible liberal city conservatives and gun rights advocates can use as an example.
But its not just them.
Even the liberal Media picks them out because its the most "known" city that hits their demographic when it comes to "selling" a story. They are biased for a completely different reason.
They won't report on the huge rural gun/murder problem because it does not sell as well as huge city killings. Truth be told, no one cares about much of the "red" counties and their problems.
There are even more liberal cities that "outperform" Chicago, but conservatives ignore those because the ROI on attacking those cities or the states they are in are either a lock politically or a never win state like NY.
To ignore that there is huge Biased spins on this issue and this city is ignorance at its best.
Buh Byeeeeeeeeeeee !!
It's number 16, please don't make up your own facts

What a silly argument, every city above Chicago in murders is also a Blue city, how the fuck can you say it's based on bias? What the fuck does this even have to do with politics?Of course it is. Its the most visible liberal city conservatives and gun rights advocates can use as an example.

(….put qualifiers like minimum population and population buckets.)
Odd where is
Gary IN = 53 per 100k
Charleston, WV= 21
Danville IL = 21
City of North Little Rock. AR = 20
Pine Bluff, AR = 35.5
Portsmouth, VA =21.2
Camden, NJ =31
Wilmington, DE =32
Compton, CA = 36
Goldsboro, NC = 31
Elkhart, IN = 29
Saginaw, York, Meridian, Harrisburg, Trenton, Fort Myers, etc etc etc
etc
etc
etc
and.....
Left out cities in PR.
Just pushed them out of the top 30....I can keep going. Probably hit 50....
Buh Byeeeeeeeeeeee !!
I just want to point out that everybody with a gun is someone that shouldn't have a gun in their hands.
That got political really fast. Are we going to blame it on Obama next?Its minority Democrats killing minority Democrats with handguns while screaming at middle American to surrender their long guns.
It's a cultural problem. But that's too controversial to talk about, so we'll just talk about background checks like they'd make a difference in these cases.
Some discussion can be moved to the Gun Control Mega-thread, while the rest is either out of hand or off-topic. This will be closed.
