Kmanshouse, thank you for the clarification.

Is that sorta near you?!?

I keep reading about armed robberies taking place.

You know, I was thinking at work this morning: In prisons where people are sentenced to life, there is NO consequence to NOT rape or kill someone if you want to... And in the Chicago case, there doesn't seem to be enough consequences/perceived consequences to NOT commit these armed robberies... I think that is a big reason why the increase in the whole "never used to take place in THOSE neighborhoods" mentality/history.

Thinking about the remake of Death Wish, with Bruce Willis, which take place in Chicago,,,,,,,,, I get it!

Here is an example of recent crime spree over Thanksgiving, right next to the United Center. Can things get better?

Now there's an idea, let's tolerate shoplifting; so concert-goers at the UC/corrupt politicians are safe.

It’s about keeping the 2024 democrat national convention safe, at the UC. August or July.

Chipp Inn is in Noble Square, it's pretty close, but not right by me - maybe 6 blocks?

Robbery crews continue to hit various spots across the city, but it seems to be declining a bit lately. Some people are getting caught, and some are being detained and prosecuted - it's not a free for all, but I'd like to see more of that.

Final 2023 murder stats.

2023 = 584
2022 = 692
2021 = 794
2020 = 778
2019 = 502
2018 = 547

100 murder drop each year the last two years. Something positive.

Totally aware of the other crime spikes, so let's not go there. Not the point of this post.

Unusual drop considering, like you stated, that most the other stats go the opposite direction. Could be that the current group of hood-rats just aren't as good of shots. That, and kudos to the emergency room doctors and nurses.

Heyjackass reports 172,540 shots detected in Chicago in 2023 by the ShotSpotter system. This means a gunshot about every 3 minutes on average ... This does not include the 13,186 rounds detected on January 1 2023 courtesy of New Years eve celebrations . Also, not every neighbourhood has a ShotSpotter system so the actual number of gunshots is likely much higher.

Good morning, and Happy New Year!

I just read that 6 cars were broken into recently, in my beloved Lincoln Square neighborhood.

Am I wrong, or is there some strange connection that crimes increased and spread during and post-Covid????

Good day, I just read an article on the arrests of migrants, most recently in Oak Lawn.

New to Chicagoland, language barriers, freezing cold, inadequate housing, lack of jobs for so many...

WHO would have forseen them stealing and committing crimes, at some point after their arrival?

I will be in the Downers Grove and Wheaton areas next week. How are they as far as car break-ins lately? Will be staying near the intersection if I-355 and I-88. I know to lock my vehicle and not leave valuables in sight.

I would have posted this under Chicago Suburbs but read the guidelines and they don't want crime related posts there.

Thanks.
