CHICAGO — At least five people were gunned down last night along in Chicago, including a 34-year-old man whose mother had already lost her three other children to shootings. With still one more day before January ends, the Chicago homicide rate in the first month of 2013 is off to its bloodiest start ever, Homicides already pushed past 40 by Jan. 28. In 2012 alone there were 506 murders in Chicago, murders have increased over 80% since Obama's former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel took over as Mayor. One of Emanuel's first iniatives was to increase weapon bans and decrease the number of Officers on the street, he felt Officers were intimidating blacks so he ordered them to back off arresting gang members and put in place out reach programs. Money from the police department was shifted to financial assistance and aid programs.
