The number of homicides in the Chicago area so far this year surpassed 1,000 during the holiday weekend after Thanksgiving – as Cook County achieved the grim milestone again for the first time in 27 years. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed Tuesday the 1,000th homicide in 2021 happened over the holiday weekend. With just over a month left in the year, the number of homicides in Cook County stands at 1,009. The last time Cook County saw more than 1,000 homicides was in 1994 when it recorded 1,141 homicides total by the end of December. In 1991, Cook County handled a record 1,229 homicides.

No Justice, No Peace? Maybe the cops can finally be in the clear. They should let the folks govern themselves while they sit back and relax. Cops kill around 900 for the whole country per year but Chicago alone already does 1,000, would you look at that.

The left needs far more racism than the supply allows, and these murders simply don't fit the narrative. That's why stories like Juicy Smolliet get traction.

If one of those murdering gangsta Chicago gunmen got shot by police instead - front page news.
