THE HORROR GOES ON – AT 12:46 P.M. ET:   As the Obama administration comes to a close, we note the continued agony of Chicago, the president's home town.  It's a shooting gallery.  We're told that black lives matter, but apparently these black lives don't matter to political activists.  From the Chicago Tribune: 

Chicago saw one its most violent Thanksgiving holidays in years, with eight people killed and 62 others wounded between late Wednesday afternoon and early Monday.

The toll towers over the number of shootings in the previous two Thanksgiving holiday weekends, according to data kept by the Tribune.

In 2014, five people were killed, including a woman inside the Nordstrom's store on Michigan Avenue, and 14 others were wounded. Last year, eight people were killed, including a 16-year-old boy, and 20 were wounded, the data show.

This year's tally does not include the three people shot dead by Chicago police over the holiday period.

In one of those shootings, authorities said officers fired at a man who had just shot two people, one of them fatally, early Friday in the Homan Square neighborhood on the West Side. In another shooting Sunday night, authorities said an officer shot and killed a man who wounded a pregnant woman in West Garfield Park.

Early Saturday in the South Chicago neighborhood, a 20-year-old man was killed and five others were wounded at a house party, police said.

The number of people shot in Chicago this year is around 4,000, more than 1,000 above this time last year, according to Tribune data.

COMMENT:  Would you just look at those numbers.  Where is the outrage from the liberal press? 

And once again we ask why the media will not focus on the contrast between New York and Chicago.  New York made a huge dent in crime, Chicago sees crime increasing.  Why?  The reason, of course, is that New York had a great mayor named Rudy Giuliani, who set out to make his city safe, and succeeded.  However, Rudy is a Republican, so it doesn't count.  Nothing to see, nothing to see.
