At Long Last, Have You No Shame

As Chicago experienced its 500th murder of 2016 a local TV station ran with this headline:

20160906-211154.jpg

And added this map:

20160906-211244.jpg

As if somehow Chicago’s 400% higher murder rate somehow exposed Springfield 50% drop in homicides this year as a chimera.

“Urban crime is always out of control somewhere!” should be the tag line for “22 News”.

    Crime stories are a great way to keep people in their houses–with the TVs on.
