Chicago has logged its 500th homicide of 2012.
The last time the city reached the 500-homicide mark was in 2008, when the year ended with 512 killings. Last year, city records show Chicago had 435 homicides.
On Thursday, officials with the Chicago Police Department said the city was one homicide away from the 500 mark. Hours later, a 40-year-old man was fatally shot in the Austin neighborhood on the city's West Side. Police say Nathaniel Jackson was found on the sidewalk outside a convenience store with a gunshot wound to the head late Thursday.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office says Jackson was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital early Friday.
Jackson's death remains under investigation. No arrests have been made.
No more Chicago threads this year........

Yep that was crazy..... -
13 murders in 3 days to beat 2008? I'll put my money on it. Murder and crime and wack music are all huge industries in Chi-town.

Chi-Town aka Die-Town

That's astronomical.

Damn shame

You IC black militants should go to Chicago to tell those young brothers on the block to stop shooting, killing, and get an education.
Please preach to them about their black history and give them encouraging words of advice.
Make sure to update on the IC of your progress -

^^Most people in Southside Chicago do ? or coke or have done either of those....Not everyone i've come in contact down there did heroin.
but heroin, from what i heard, was going for $10 a hit down there. The real moneymakers are the antipsychotics and stimulants they get off stealing prescription pills. -

Yall should stop making light of this issue before sion don't make a thread threatening to ban folks.

...It's cause Fredo had to come out the cut...

Does all this murdering go on in the poor areas or is any of it happening where the rich folks live? Like a rich husband killing his wife for insurance money or something. Or is it all minority gangbangers and dope dealers?
-
