Chicago mayor ignores dozens of shootings over the weekend, discusses "Transfemicide State of Emergency" instead
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
The crime in Chicago is so bad that as of Monday morning, we don't have confirmed numbers on how many people were shot and killed over the past two days.
Think about that.

According to CBS News, the most recent count is eight dead, 38 injured. Like any war zone, this number is subject to change.
Mayor Brandon Johnson, the proud communist, bravely addressed the city's violence by ignoring it:
The city is being destroyed by gangbangers ( nearly 700 homicides a year ), but Brandon Johnson is focused on justice for the 15 or so "transgender Chicagoans" who have been murdered in the last decade.
Because no normal person knows what "transfemicide" means, let me inform you that it is a made up word to pretend that trans people are being murdered everywhere by Trump voters or whatever.
Chicago's mayor is much more concerned with making sure that trans people feel "welcomed" and "comfortable" in the city while South Side sees DOZENS OF PEOPLE BEING SHOT EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND.
Take a bow, Chicago.

No "trans people" were apparently killed last year in Chicago, which is almost statistically impossible.
But on the same weekend dozens of the not so special Chicagoans were shot, the Mayor wants to focus on imaginary oppression and violence.
The desperation to push the oppression narrative is really incredible.
Morning Sean.
One of my friends and her 12 year old son are flying to the US next week...
Her son has been picked to go to some US basketball training camp and of all places, Chicago...10 boys were chosen from Victoria and he was one..
I know all cities have their good and bad areas, but Chicago just seems to be one big shooting gallery from what I have read..
I am sure they will be perfectly safe and well looked after but the concern level went up a notch when she did say Chicago..😬
Your friend and her talented kid will probably never step foot in one of the actually dangerous areas. The extreme violence in Chicago and other big cities is extremely localized and their guides should know to keep them well away from those areas where there’s no reason to ever go anyway.
they’ll have an amazing time and probably not be exposed to anything worse than they would in any other big city.
There many videos on You Tube about what people visiting Chicago (from around the world) say after they've been here. These reviews are uniformly extremely good.
Dont believe everything you see on Fox News.
If Chicago was nothing but a large "shooting gallery" there would be tens of thousands dead, not hundreds.
There is something else to say about "murder rates". They dont mean much, in most cases.
Murder rates are based on per 100,000 population. A murder rate of 20 means 20 out 100,000 were murdered. Does any one seriously believe there is a truly meaningful difference between 20 per 100,000 and 10 per 100,000 ?
In one case 1 out of 10,000 people is murdered in a given year, and in the other case 2 out of 10,000. Even a murder rate of 30 only represents 3 out of 10,000 population, not even a significant change from a rate of 10.
How come you never (that i’ve seen) lament the homicides in chicago? All you do is tell other to “give it a rest” and bring up other cities homicide rates?
I do lament it. People like you have got Shona, in Australia , worried about a friend visiting here. It is shameful.
“I do lament it.”
No, you just deflect to “other cities are worse”, like that makes it ok.
“People like you,,,,”
lol, what have i posted about chicago that would make anybody worry?
I don't watch Fox news.. actually I don't watch commercial tv or pay tv..
I just watch YouTube now and I am so over the news...I just get the headlines on my mobile and that's enough for me..
YouTube has heaps of really great shows and love the travel documentaries.. haven't seen any on Chicago but will check it out..
Shona, this is the Chicago your friends will see, unless they stay in the suburbs and never go downtown.
Doesn't look to bad a joint at all..I am sure they will have a ball..
Didn't realise Chicago has alot of water ways..😁
You really can't trust the conservative narrative about progressive States and cities. The fact is that the #1 Most dangerous place to live in America is Memphis, TN. Chicago's not even in the top 20. There are plenty of Democrat majority States in the top 20, but 12 of the 20 are in Republican controlled States which they clearly don't like to talk about.

Is Memphis filed with democrats or republicans?
They voted for him, they deserve him. Let it burn down and start over.
Chicago has not been in the top ten U.S. cities for homicide rate in any of the last 20 years , based on available FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) and Crime Data Explorer (CDE) data.
Why Chicago does not appear in the top ten
Chicago has high absolute homicide counts , but homicide rate is measured per 100,000 residents.
Smaller cities with fewer residents but high homicide totals—such as St. Louis, Baltimore, New Orleans, Detroit, Birmingham, and others—consistently outrank Chicago in homicide rate every year.
No source in the search results lists Chicago in the top ten for homicide rate for any year since at least the early 2000s.
What the data does show
Chicago’s homicide rate rose sharply during 2018–2021 and then declined significantly from 2022–2025, reaching its lowest rate since the mid‑1960s in 2025.
Bottom line
Across the last 20 years, Chicago never ranks in the top ten U.S. cities by homicide rate . It ranks high in total homicides, but not in rate.
give it a rest for fucks sake
How does that justify making up emergencies to protect trans people?

Here is a list of cities with more than 100,000 residents that have higher murder rates than Chicago, per the FBI report.
==========================================
10 of the 22 are in red states
Okay. How many of those cities vote Republican and invent public safety emergencies to distract from actual murders?
Given the absolute absurdity of what your mayor is doing, I guess deflection is your only choice.
The far right has certain obsessions - Chicago, New York City, California in general. These places, like any other place, have their problems, but the MAGA right focuses on these places almost to the exclusion of every place else, and often exaggerates - or just straight up fabricates - what happens there. It keeps them from having to face all the shit they’re fucking up while they’re in power.
All while saying nothing about the problems in conservative States. Just more examples of the monumental hypocrisy of rightwing conservatives.
Just don't walk the streets at night in Englewood or Austin or West Garfield Park. The homicide rates for West Englewood and Englewood are more than twice the homicide rate in Memphis, TN.
less than 1% of the people of chicago live in Englewood.
So? You're the one citing homicide rates. The homicide rates in West Englewood, Englewood, Austin, and West Garfield Park sections of Chicago are each more than double the homicide rate in Memphis, TN. West Garfield Park experiences almost 3 times the homicide rate of Memphis, TN.
When I was a small boy my family lived in Englewood. This is what it looked like then -
What is the rate in the most dangerous neighborhoods in Memphis? That would be an apple to apples comparison.
When I was a small boy my family lived in Englewood. This is what it looked like then -
yes it went from a vibrant working class neighborhood to an apocalyptic ghost town in a couple decades. Rampant violence and crime chased all but the most desperate away.
Knowing what happened to englewood should given you first hand knowledge of how fragile communities are.
White flight.
Yes, crimes causes white flight.
Wrong. Ignorant racist fear and the belief that their home will lose value causes white flight. Continuing to ignore the elephant in the room isn't going to make it go away.

The only ones trying to refute and deny these realities are those desperately trying to hide or justify their deep-seated racism likely drilled into them in their white conservative Christian communities from childhood which has been the accepted custom since long before our nation's founding. Those still clinging to their belief that their race and faith are superior to all others, claiming the stereotypes they learned as a child are true, are the very worst despicable deplorable kinds of filth still found in America. And hopefully, if we shame them back into their hollars, they'll finally disappear once and for all and America will be the better for it.
“Everyone is dunking on this but I think it’s NICE that Mayor Johnson finally found a type of murder he doesn’t like. Baby steps.“
What I find absolutely hilarious about this is that this fkng idiot is calling this a “Trans Femicide State of Emergency” and claiming there is an "an ongoing epidemic of trans murders".
What makes it worse is there are some seriously stupid people who believe this clown.
