Silent March Memorializes More Than 760 Killed

[brassmonkey]

CHICAGO - Hundreds of people carried crosses Saturday for each person slain in Chicago this year during a quiet march along Michigan Avenue.

The three-foot-tall crosses were engraved with the name of a homicide victim. The silence of the march was punctuated by demonstrators who spoke each name aloud. Authorities say more than 760 people were killed in Chicago in 2016. There were fewer than 500 homicides in the city last year.

March organizer the Rev. Michael Pfleger said he hopes the visuals of the protest along Chicago's premiere retail street will inspire people to take action to reduce violence in 2017.

"This is a Chicago problem," Pfleger said. "The reason we're on Michigan Avenue is because this is a Chicago problem. And until everybody in Chicago decides it's their problem we're not going to end it."

Before the march Kelly Fitzgerald Clark found a cross with the name of her late husband. She cried as her son waded into a sea of crosses and retrieved it.

"We thought nobody cared," she said. "I lost my husband in February. Homicide. We didn't know it was going to be like this."

The crosses were made by Greg Zanis of Aurora.

"I just want to tell everybody my heart's broken for you," Zanis said. "I don't know what else to do but I did a little bit of work for you guys."

After Saturday's march, the crosses will be placed in a vacant lot on the city's South Side.

Must be a nice place to live in

Just for a comparison. A combined number of murders and murder attempts (when a victim has survived) in Moscow is 353 for the last year. To make the numbers easier to understand, I'll add that Moscow is a very overpopulated city (over 15,5 millions residents vs 2,7 millions in Chicago) and it's #1 city in the World by the amount of immigrants/illegals from other countries, thus it's the most criminal city in Russia. Now try to compare it with Chicago, LA or NYC...

Yes, I am sure all of the gang members that commit most of these murders will become all weepy eyed upon seeing this and give up all of their criminal ways.

Or not.

I thought you people were blaming racist white cops for killing all those good boys what dindu nuffin.
Why would the suppliers of drugs go to black neighborhoods and kill the sellers and consumers of their drugs? That makes no sense.

It is more than 2 times higher than USA. 10.2 per 100K vs 4.8 per 100k. Of course he will use every excuse to say its not so because they kill more in Chechnya and other southern regions. Its bullshit. The highest murder rates are in far east regions not in the south.

[pimpmaster9000]

Wow Chicago has like 5x the murder rate of my entire 3rd world shit hole war torn country...Americans should have a foreign policy and tell others how to live AHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Paul Markham]

Must be terrible to live in a hell hole like that.

Meanwhile.



Increase in guns per capita and drop in murders par capita. Makes you wonder.



Nice and peaceful here. One of the biggest murders of 2015, was carried out be an American. What is it about Americans?

[pimpmaster9000]

my entire 3rd world shit hole war torn country had 130 murders total last year dats almost 6x less than just chicago

we have the 2nd highest gun rate in the world but we can not keep up wit da USA

its perfectly safe on the streets down here in any part of the country at any time

its very very urgent for americans to tell us how to live

I have no idea what you are sure for (maybe Wikipedia is your source of knowledge). The criminal situation in Moscow the same as in Berlin, for example, which is far safer than in the USA. On the other hand, we have Northern Caucasus region which is the same for us as Gaza Strip for Israel. With only one difference: Northern Caucasus is much bigger than Gaza Strip and we have a full-scale war against radical Islamists there. Is that a secret for you?

Course lots of people got killed there daily. And course it affects the overall homicide statistics for Russia. But believe me, the criminality in the rest of Russia is much lower than in the USA.

Man, I have posted the official statistics on combined number of murders and murder attempts in Moscow for the last year. It's exactly 353 cases for a 15.5 million city flooded by immigrants and various scum from around the world. Dare to compare it with homicide stats in LA or in NYC (which is as twice smaller than Moscow) for example? Here you go: NYPD - Office of the Chief of Department

No, dumb ass. Counter-terror casualties are not counted towards homicide statistics. Your own government stats says that your murder rate is 2x higher than of US
No-one here "believes" anything your stupid ass says

And we don't live in Chicago either. Let them brassmonkeys kill each other. In my hood we haven't had one murder in 120 years. And I don't know anyone here who pimps his cousins for a 10-spot I do know ghetto strip joint in Miami where your sister works the "back room"

I googled "average living conditions and average price pimping your daughter in serbia"

and went



You see, son, I don't settle for "average".. That is the biggest difference between me and the rest of you bottom feeders

Do you know what drunk asswipe russian is saying? If my gooogle translator correct he can't tell the difference between "owe" and "own"...
