(6,185 posts)Violent crime might have been trending down for a while here, but for the first 3 months of 2012 gun crime and murders are up 60% over last year. That's not a statistical anomaly at that rate, and Summer is the highest crime period.
In the meantime ... Rahm is writing big ass checks to pay Alan Gura his the legal fees for losing the McDonald case and he's still fighting allowing the law abiding to own guns in their own homes. He is also refusing to meet with the police union to negotiate their contract and allowing the total number of police to decline through retirements. So you can't protect yourself and there won't be enough cops to help out either.
If anyone wants to know what the actual street cops and union members think, check out the 2nd citycop blog spot. It's run by street cops and the comment section will let you know how "highly" they think of Rahm's attitude toward gun crimes.
