How can all these killings by gun occur in Chicago, where gun laws are the strictest in the nation? Theoretically, it's illegal to have a gun in Chicago, too bad someone forgot to tell the killers (by the way it's illegal to kill people in Chicago too) that they can't own firearms....
I wonder how many of their victims didn't own guns, because the government was trying to protect them from "criminals"?
The non reporting of this story is more racist, in my opinion, than any white supremacist, Klu Klux Klan convention. Those guys are all talk, no action, for the most part.
The common man in Germany, plausibly claimed ignorance of the Holocaust, because while many suspected, it wasn't reported on in the newspapers.
Another Holocaust is occurring, and every American is complicit, because the truth is there, and claims of ignorance are no defense.

This right here is the heart of the matter.
What you're omitting is that it's also far more dangerous to be white in Chicago than in Afghanistan...or Hispanic, Asian, etc, etc, etc. You could probably do this exact same post substituting L.A. for Chicago and Hispanic for black, with similar numbers.
It's not a racism issue, it's a crime issue. The only thing that saves most of the innocent law-abiding citizens is that the majority of killing is the criminals killing each other.
And yes, the media only seems to care when a Hispanic kills a black criminal...but then again, this flame was fanned by a racist president and a number of black hate groups.

America has about 94,000 people in Afghanistan. Chicago has a population of 2.7 million. Your basic statistical claim is very flawed.

Well are they just in Afghan or are they fighting a war there? Is Chicago at war at this time?
City to City / population comparison Chicago is a safe town.
The country I am in has a population of 5,2 million and some 1500 whites are murdered here every year, non whites killed amount to about 10 a year, honor killings of Muslim girls.
Some are fighting a war there. A great many are just in Afghanistan.

Hey PE if you do not stop with all this truth stuff they will put
you in jail .
As somebody pointed out recently everybody is heavily
in to denial of science .
If I listed the string of scientific facts the Left are in denial of
I would be wearing all sorts of ugly labels so I choose to shut up
and let tough honest people like PE carry the burden for me .
( Yes I know that is creepy and disgusting ) .

Science? You dare question me about math? Ha, I laugh at your feeble attempt to use math against me! Its about headlines! Its about feelings! The MSM doesn't care about stats, why should I?
Ha Ha Ha Ha......
Oh well, you are probably right about the math. But let's try to even it up a little more than your big picture implied.
Say 2.7 million in Chicago. As of 2000 census, 37 % black. That makes it blacks are about 1 million folks of African American persuasion. Technically, about 50% are male, so that makes it 500,000 black men in Chicago.
Of those, about 20% are of average military age so now we are at 100,000 "at risk blacks".
100,000 is pretty close, big picture wise, to 94,000.
So, Mr. Brihard, whose numbers are more of an exageration? Yours or mine?
