Chicago had a 65.8% increase in shootings (3261 total). Resulted in a 64.4% increase in shooting victims (4033 total), and 55% increase in homicides (769 total) from 2019. Cook county (which Chicago is part of) had 875 gun homicide victims total, 78% were black.
79 Chicago officers were shot at, 10 hit. 558% increase since 2015.
Chicago is a high shooting area normally, but it is still a massive increase, and it's not alone.
That as well. I would be surprised if the sex addict who shot up a massage parlour didn't fall back into his old habits because he lost his job, his gym or whatever else he was using to stay "sober."
