Answer 1

all the gangstas beefin ova b*****s an hoes

Answer 2

I would answer, but I would get banned for making racist comments.

Answer 3

Because when the economy gets as bad as it is right now, people can't afford to make ends meet and they turn to crime.

Perhaps if the tax payers' money was going back into the community instead of going to Iraq, people wouldn't need crime to get by.

Also, crime rate is always higher in the summer because the weather is nicer and people are more likely to be out and about to rob people or be robbed.

Answer 4

Because in Chicago... about 99% of them are reported and confirmed... In Iraq... maybe half even get reported.

Answer 5

Friendly fire, probably. It's always friendly fire!  

Answer 6

You have never been to the South side of Chicago.  Visit there for a week and then come back and ask that question(?) again.

Answer 7

because Chicago has banned the good citizens the right to keep and bear arms to defend themselves.......so the criminals are armed and the victims aren't  

Answer 8

The insurgents moved to Chicago after the surge.

Answer 9

Not true - your source only counted US deaths, not Iraqi government, civilian and insurgent deaths.

Besides, the weapon of choice in Iraq are bombs.

Answer 10

Ask the mayor.

If it were the Senator's fault, we would have to credit Hillary Clinton for the cleanup of NYC.

Answer 11

Don't know.

Why does Iraq have 10,000 times the terrorist bombings than the US?

Answer 12

increased unemployment and a lot more crazies.

Answer 13

because they don't have enough community organizers, i guess

Answer 14

Because Obama voted against the surge

A surge would take care of Chicago's problems.  Just move the soldiers out of Iraq and into Chicago.
