HeyJackass!

Year In Review

We speculated at the end of 2024 that “maybe the less cops, less tools, more rules has been the winning formula missing for all these years”. Possibly that along with a State’s Attorney that actually enforces the law has pulled off a decade low in hi-speed lead-related incidents despite the Kakistocratic leadership that runs the city and state.

2025: 433 killed, 1,592 wounded
2024: 613 killed, 2,444 wounded
2023: 650 killed, 2,500 wounded
2022: 740 killed, 2,936 wounded
2021: 856 killed, 3,745 wounded
2020: 800 killed, 3,472 wounded
2019: 521 killed, 2,291 wounded
2018: 592 killed, 2,465 wounded
2017: 685 killed, 2,935 wounded
2016: 808 killed, 3,658 wounded
2015: 513 killed, 2,546 wounded
2014: 465 killed, 2,239 wounded
Avg: 658 killed, 2,839 wounded

A breakdown of the year’s non-demonizable, silly decisions because they’ve been starved of opportunities in their own communities where law enforcement is a sickness that needs to be eradicated shows:

We mistakenly believed we had bottomed out in 2024, only to watch the downward trend persist through 2025. In hindsight, we underestimated the significance of replacing a pro-criminal State’s Attorney with one who simply enforces the law as written (despite pro-criminal judges still being a persistent issue).

It’s no secret that most of what’s on this site is driven by a small number of low-IQ ne’er-do-wells who’ve done well by becoming their own protected victim class from 2016-2024. Removing even a portion of them from the streets creates a noticeable ripple effect on overall numbers. Despite that, enough of these retards remain active to the point where we believe we’ll be hanging around the 430-480 homicides, 1800-2200 total people shot levels for some time to come.

There is also the ever-present possibility of a lifelong, drug-addled wife-beater getting taken out by a cop somewhere and the media will try and whip up some ist-a-phobe-related violence (see 2014, 2016 & 2020). In fact, we’re past due for such an event.

As always, many thanks to everyone who visited, liked, retweeted, emailed, hit the tip jar and/or picked up some tees or other crap this past year. If you haven’t done so yet, maybe add it to the very bottom of your list of New Year’s resolutions. Have yourself a safe and prosperous new year.
