But I did find a website for ChicagoCrime.org: http://www.chicagocrime.org/types/homicide/
It lists the same types of homicides that you listed and if you look at the crimes on or before February 16, 2007, it matches the number that you have cited. But, these are all the homicides in the year to February 16. These homicides did not occur all on February 16 and it is clear from the way they are reported that this is the case. No reasonable person could have concluded that these homicides all occured on the same day.
So there have been approximately 40 homicides in Chicago in the first 6 weeks of the year - which puts Chicago on pace for around 500 homicides for the whole year - not 40 in one day (14,600!! for the year).
Your research is shoddy and your reporting of it is even worse. How then can you expect anyone to respect your opinions.

I don’t think you are reading the map correctly. Below it is a chart, however, that should have cleared up your confusion as to reading the map.
Most common locations for this crime
Street 137 crimes
Sidewalk 119 crimes
Residence 42 crimes
Alley 42 crimes
Apartment 36 crimes
Vehicle: Non-commercial 24 crimes
Residence: Porch/hallway 18 crimes
Other 17 crimes
Parking lot/garage (non. resid.) 9 crimes
CHA parking lot/grounds 8 crimes
That is most assuredly HIGHER then 40 for 6 weeks. That’s much closer to 414 up to Feb 16, 2007.
At least the way it is written.

Hmmm… I don’t know where this data is coming from for this graph, but it isn’t just data for Feb 16, 2007. From the same website, here are all the crimes they list for that date http://www.chicagocrime.org/2007/feb/16/
Although it looks like a lot of crimes (and it is), homicide barely makes the list.
According to this list http://www.chicagocrime.org/types/homicide/ the only homicide committed on this date was http://www.chicagocrime.org/2006/feb/16/1am/hm183737/
That’s it. Only one homicide from that date in Chicago, according to this website.
It’s in the chart under the google map with the big pushpins color coded for number of crimes.
You selected one case file.
Jennifer,
That’s the total number of crimes - not murders or homicides. Your previous post said that there were 40 “murders” on February 16. There may very well have been 40 “crimes” but not 40 “murders”. You suggested that there were more criminal deaths in Chicago on a single day than at Virginia Tech. This statement is simply false and you should simply acknowledge that fact.

SUD: the difference is im not attacking a poster as you do. That post is in a thread called basically “the french suck”. Your rhetoric over Jens gaff was a series of posts over many days. Anything else you took out of context is of no material issue> its totally ubsurb to take a point about a portion of a sentence ( e.g. “you such and such after a period of months”) and can even come up with any possible angle to assume that was the main point when it was only a small part of the sentence. But your the master of pulling things out of context.
You have too many issues that will not allow you to post a thoughtful post because you dont seem to understand that this forum is not gladiator combat with words… Its a pleasant exchange of ideas with others and you have turned things into life and death. This is why you dont belong here IMO. If you continue to behave this way you will have to find another place to do what you do.
