Silent March Memorializes More Than 760 Killed

CHICAGO - Hundreds of people carried crosses Saturday for each person slain in Chicago this year during a quiet march along Michigan Avenue.

The three-foot-tall crosses were engraved with the name of a homicide victim. The silence of the march was punctuated by demonstrators who spoke each name aloud. Authorities say more than 760 people were killed in Chicago in 2016. There were fewer than 500 homicides in the city last year.

March organizer the Rev. Michael Pfleger said he hopes the visuals of the protest along Chicago's premiere retail street will inspire people to take action to reduce violence in 2017.

"This is a Chicago problem," Pfleger said. "The reason we're on Michigan Avenue is because this is a Chicago problem. And until everybody in Chicago decides it's their problem we're not going to end it."

Before the march Kelly Fitzgerald Clark found a cross with the name of her late husband. She cried as her son waded into a sea of crosses and retrieved it.

"We thought nobody cared," she said. "I lost my husband in February. Homicide. We didn't know it was going to be like this."

The crosses were made by Greg Zanis of Aurora.

"I just want to tell everybody my heart's broken for you," Zanis said. "I don't know what else to do but I did a little bit of work for you guys."

After Saturday's march, the crosses will be placed in a vacant lot on the city's South Side.

Must be a nice place to live in :thumbsup

Just for a comparison. A combined number of murders and murder attempts (when a victim has survived) in Moscow is 353 for the last year. To make the numbers easier to understand, I'll add that Moscow is a very overpopulated city (over 15,5 millions residents vs 2,7 millions in Chicago) and it's #1 city in the World by the amount of immigrants/illegals from other countries, thus it's the most criminal city in Russia. Now try to compare it with Chicago, LA or NYC...

awesome, about time :2 cents:

Yes, I am sure all of the gang members that commit most of these murders will become all weepy eyed upon seeing this and give up all of their criminal ways.

Or not.





.

they should carry them to obamas speech! that big eared bastard did nothing about the violence!

Who's doing all that killing? Racist white cops?

the suppliers of the drugs! who gave them the drugs?? think hard if you can. the people cutting off heads. wet####s

I thought you people were blaming racist white cops for killing all those good boys what dindu nuffin.
Why would the suppliers of drugs go to black neighborhoods and kill the sellers and consumers of their drugs? That makes no sense.

wet####s supply the drugs. without that they don't sell it. it's not even a drug that black people use. whites and hispanics use it. few blacks use it. that is why there is so much shooting. it's billions to be made. back in the 80's here they blocked off streets so cars could not drive up. that way they walk and you have a even advantage. they knew how to slang dope

Mexicans are killing blacks over a drug white people use. Got it. :thumbsup

Those poor innocent black people. Always the victim. :sadcrying

i said wet####s they put the fuel on the fire. visit a trap in chicago they won't sell to negros herion

Always someone else fault with you. We should send all of you back to Africa. :2 cents:

I'm pretty sure russia has a higher homicide rate than the United States.

http://crimestat.ru/world_ranking_homicides

It is more than 2 times higher than USA. 10.2 per 100K vs 4.8 per 100k. Of course he will use every excuse to say its not so because they kill more in Chechnya and other southern regions. Its bullshit. The highest murder rates are in far east regions not in the south.

http://crimestat.ru/regions_chart_total

Of course, but truth be told, it isn't a first world country... so...lol

he allowed it to multiply... now he is aiming his sights on the middle east :2 cents:

Wow Chicago has like 5x the murder rate of my entire 3rd world shit hole war torn country...Americans should have a foreign policy and tell others how to live AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Must be terrible to live in a hell hole like that.

Meanwhile.

Increase in guns per capita and drop in murders par capita. Makes you wonder.

Nice and peaceful here. One of the biggest murders of 2015, was carried out be an American. What is it about Americans?

my entire 3rd world shit hole war torn country had 130 murders total last year dats almost 6x less than just chicago :(

we have the 2nd highest gun rate in the world but we can not keep up wit da USA :(

its perfectly safe on the streets down here in any part of the country at any time :(

its very very urgent for americans to tell us how to live :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I have no idea what you are sure for (maybe Wikipedia is your source of knowledge). The criminal situation in Moscow the same as in Berlin, for example, which is far safer than in the USA. On the other hand, we have Northern Caucasus region which is the same for us as Gaza Strip for Israel. With only one difference: Northern Caucasus is much bigger than Gaza Strip and we have a full-scale war against radical Islamists there. Is that a secret for you?

Course lots of people got killed there daily. And course it affects the overall homicide statistics for Russia. But believe me, the criminality in the rest of Russia is much lower than in the USA.

Man, I have posted the official statistics on combined number of murders and murder attempts in Moscow for the last year. It's exactly 353 cases for a 15.5 million city flooded by immigrants and various scum from around the world. Dare to compare it with homicide stats in LA or in NYC (which is as twice smaller than Moscow) for example? Here you go: NYPD - Office of the Chief of Department

once again proving who the real racist is. Thanks for the reminder brasshat :thumbsup

Eventually in Chicago Darwin will win just like Detroit ... Eventually less shooters ...

And assclown's reply was 100% of what the other guy predicted. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Moscow Oblast - 9.1

Murder Rates Nationally and By State | Death Penalty Information Center

Illinois - 5.8
New Hampshire - 1.1

No, dumb ass. Counter-terror casualties are not counted towards homicide statistics. Your own government stats says that your murder rate is 2x higher than of US :1orglaugh
No-one here "believes" anything your stupid ass says :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

But you also pimp your cousin to German sex tourists for $10 :2 cents:

Are you still here? Pay what you owe and shut the fuck up already, asswipe.

still my 3rd world war torn shit hole has 6x less murders than chicago...a place where people pimp cousins for 10$ is safer than the great great USA :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

not looking good at all :D

I owe absolutely nothing. Not to fake nicks nor to third world country drunks. Point me where I do or eat a bag of dicks. Oh wait, you are getting those for Christmas. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

And we don't live in Chicago either. Let them brassmonkeys kill each other. In my hood we haven't had one murder in 120 years. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh And I don't know anyone here who pimps his cousins for a 10-spot :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh I do know ghetto strip joint in Miami where your sister works the "back room" :1orglaugh:1orglaugh
