CHICAGO – Up through this past weekend, in July 2016 alone, 30 persons were shot and killed in violence-ridden Chicago, 216 wounded, making a total of 246 shot. In the second week of July, 10 were shot and killed and 68 shot and wounded. 

Thus far in 2016, 329 Chicagoans were shot and killed, 1888 shot and wounded and 2217 total shot. 

The figures are breath-taking, but who are the victims and assailants, and how many have been arrested? Over 80 percent of the killings have yet to have a suspect charged – giving an impression to the killers that they are getting away with murder.

And if those numbers aren't stunning enough, the HeyJackass- Chicago website reports that over 77 percent of the victims in Chicago have been black.
