Chicago Records Deadliest Day In 13 Years As City Spirals Out Of Control

Only a 20% kill rate. Very disappointing. They really need to get that up to about 50% so the taxpayers can benefit from less Free Shit Army members.

Last week the Chicago Tribune pointed out that nearly 100 people had been shot in Chicago in less than a week.  9 people were killed on Monday alone marking the deadliest day for the city in 13 years.  Now, with weekend data out, turns out the story is even worse.  For the week ended 8/13, a total of 110 people were shot in Chicago with 24 of them killed.  YTD statistics indicate the city is spiraling out of control with total shootings up to 2,621, a mere ~50% YoY increase, with 445 total homicides.

The current homicide rate through August indicates the city is on pace for over 700 homicides in 2016, a 63% increase from 2015 (see chart below).

Below are a couple of stats from HeyJackass!  Daily shootings continue to average around 10-20.

ANOTHER RECORD

October turned out to be another record setting month for TBP. We had 562,000 visitors. This blew away the previous record of 537,000 in August. We had the highest single day visitor count of 35,000. We averaged 18,100 visitors per day. The October figure was 41% higher than last October. Year to date we are averaging 35% more visitors than last year.

There are a number of factors. I think the diversity of views, with Stuck, Hardscrabble Farmer and a number of other contributors, makes the site interesting and fresh. But, to tell you the truth, I think the surge in visitors is a true reflection of how bad things are getting in this country and the world. More people are realizing the mainstream media and their government are lying to them. They are seeking the truth in the alternative media.

I think this is a positive sign and will eventually lead to a tipping point for our society. I wish it weren’t true, but bad shit is coming our way and we better have our eyes open. In the meantime, realize that your commentary is being read by more and more people every day. We can change minds and hearts.

We will hit the 5 million visitor count on Tuesday. Yippee!!!!


SURPRISE RECORD

The stock market isn’t the only place making all-time highs.

Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get. TBP ended up with the highest daily visitor count in its six year history yesterday. We had never broken the 30,000 mark. Yesterday we ended up with 31,800 visitors.

I can slave over an article for ten hours and get a lukewarm reception.

Yesterday, I wrote one paragraph, added some paragraphs from John Hussman’s weekly letter, gave the post a scary title – Panic Before Everyone Else Does – added a funny gif of a deer eating popcorn, and walla – I’ve got a viral article.

I guess I should give every post a scary title or put a cute gif in every post in order to become a huge success.

I’ll just keep running and see what happens next.
