Lori Lightfoot Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago recorded 797 homicides in 2021, the most of any U.S. city and the highest for the area in nearly a quarter-century.
The Chicago Police Department reported that the annual total was 25 more than during 2020 and 299 more than in 2019. The last time the city experienced a higher number of homicides was in 1996, according to the Associated Press .
In addition to the staggering number of homicides, the report also revealed 3,561 shootings in Chicago during 2021.
The Chicago Sun-Times recorded an even higher number, noting the city’s 800th homicide on December 14.
Cook County, the county that includes Chicago and some of its suburbs, surged to more than 1,000 homicides for the year, the highest since 1994. Sad and sobering homicide numbers for Cook County this year: 1009 and counting (777 in Chicago).
The last time they were more than 1000 in a year was 1994 when there were 1141. In 1991 the medical examiner’s office handled a record 1229 homicides. @ABC7Chicago pic.twitter.com/GnfMu8gQk3— Craig Wall ABC 7 (@craigrwall) November 30, 2021 “We all know this has been a challenging year here in the city of Chicago,” Police Superintendent David Brown told reporters last week, according to the Chicago Sun-Times . “Too many families are reeling from the loss of (loved) ones due to senseless gun violence.”
Some have blamed the city’s bail reform practices as one of the factors behind the surging number of shootings. In November, The Daily Wire reported that Edmond Harris became the 50th person in Chicago arrested this year for allegedly murdering, attempting to murder, or shooting someone while out on felony bond: CWB Chicago reported that Harris was arrested on February 12 “after he allegedly crashed a hijacked SUV in Lawndale.” For some reason, […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
