Anyway.....The world has never been safer......

July 2016 was the “deadliest July in 10 years” for heavily gun-controlled Chicago: Sixty-five individuals were shot and killed.

This brings Chicago’s homicide total to “nearly 400” for the first seven months of 2016 alone. The number of homicides for the whole year of 2015 was 490.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear Obama say, "Well, safer is as safer does", next........

You can pin nothing on Obama unless you measure the world today with other eras in history.

Very good, Charlie Chan.....you're getting to be quite the detective......

Now see if can figure out that Clinton was threatening Saddam with war in that speech.....that could be a little harder for you because to you, war

means ground troops....you probably don't even consider the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor war because no ground troops were involved....

Nope, Clinton talked big but is still the same coward that dodged the draft so long ago....he wouldn't actually attack Saddam for real.....

Poor Thingy.....

You really are such a hack. When Clinton bombed Iraq in 1998 this is how you clowns reacted.

"Some critics of the Clinton administration, including Republican members of Congress,[SUP][26][/SUP] expressed concern over the timing of Operation Desert Fox.[SUP][27][/SUP] The four-day bombing campaign occurred at the same time the U.S. House of Representatives was conducting the impeachment hearing of President Clinton. Clinton was impeached by the House on December 19, the last day of the bombing campaign. A few months earlier, similar criticism was levelled during Operation Infinite Reach, wherein missile strikes were ordered against suspected terrorist bases in Sudan and Afghanistan, on August 20. The missile strikes began three days after Clinton was called to testify before a grand jury during the Lewinsky scandal and his subsequent nationally televised address later that evening in which Clinton admitted having an inappropriate relationship.

The Operation Infinite Reach attacks became known as "Monica's War" among TV news people, due to the timing. ABC-TV announced to all stations that there would be a special report following Lewinsky's testimony before Congress, then the special report was pre-empted by the report of the missile attacks. The combination of the timing of that attack and Operation Desert Fox led to accusations of a Wag the Dog situation."

The terror group ISIS along with its predecessors and affiliates carried out over 4,900 attacks between 2002 and 2015, killing more than 33,000 people in assaults that stretched from the Middle East to western nations, according to a new study.

ISIS-related attacks comprised 13 percent of all terror attacks globally during the 13-year period, according to research released Tuesday from the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism at the University of Maryland. In addition to killing tens of thousands of people worldwide, assaults by ISIS, also known as the Islamic State or ISIL, have caused 41,000 injuries and involved 11,000 hostage takings or kidnappings. ISIS and its affiliates caused one quarter of the deaths from terror attacks during the period.
While ISIS did not assume its current name until 2013, researchers evaluated the patterns of ISIS-related attacks beginning in 2002 by looking at assaults perpetrated by its predecessors. The study, which was funded by the Department of Homeland Security, also examined attacks carried out by ISIS militants in its so-called “caliphate” in Iraq and Syria, attacks by affiliated organizations.

Nearly 100 people shot in Chicago in less than a week


Nearly 100 people have been shot in Chicago in less than a week, pushing the number of shooting victims so far this year to more than 2,500 — about 800 more than this time last year, according to data kept by the Tribune.

Between last Friday afternoon and early Thursday, at least 99 people were shot in the city, 24 of them fatally. At least nine people were killed on Monday alone, the deadliest day in Chicago in 13 years, according to Tribune data. Among the wounded that day was a 10-year-old boy shot in the back as he played on his front porch in Lawndale.

The number of shooting victims in Chicago stood at 2,514 Thursday morning. At this time last year, 1,725 people had been shot. The city has not seen this level of gun violence since the 1990s, a trend the Police Department has blamed on lax gun laws and feuding gang factions.

I still don't really understand why you think violence is a relatively new thing in the world.

Can you name a civilized society that has as many murders as Chicago or the US? Throughout history even. We are supposedly on the other side of our Golden Age, and it doesn't look like it is getting better. The percentage of Americans who owned guns during our Golden Age was higher than it is now, yet, there were far less murders.

Why are you singling out Chicago? Clearly, that's a city that's having issues right now. In the '70's, it was NYC. In the '80's, it was LA. Gang violence is a real problem, without a doubt.

Do you think the thread is just about Chicago? If the argument is that Chicago itself isn't safe right now, I'd agree.

I mentioned Chicago because that what was being discussed. I also mentioned the US, I did not single Chicago out.

Violent crime in the U.S. is down over 50% since the early '90's. Overall, people here are much safer today than they were.
