Come for the body count. Stay for the irony of illegal immigration.
Bonus: source is WaPo (so double the irony points, Scrabble style).

The Dec. 6 arrests of Rivera and four others thwarted what police say would have been the sixth murder of a Brentwood High School student by MS-13 in less than two years.
But the incident also shook the school for another reason.
All but one of those arrested attended Brentwood, according to Suffolk County police. Three were unaccompanied minors who had been caught at the border and then placed in the community by a federal refugee program.
From New York to Virginia to Texas, schools in areas racked by MS-13 violence are now struggling with a sobering question. What to do when the gang isn’t just in your community, but in your classrooms?
Just another day in Chicago, unless it's not. Anyone recognize this last name?

CHICAGO, Illinois (WABC) --
Police in Chicago say they have arrested a man who was carrying a loaded handgun and stolen NYPD body armor.
Authorities say officers nabbed Isaiah Malailua after police dogs found explosive residue in his bag at a train station.
The 21-year-old is from California. It is still unclear how he got the NYPD body armor.*
* I'd suggest theft, but what do I know?
It's that time of the year again.

The city of Chicago had seen a large reduction in murders and shootings for the first four months of 2018, but as temperatures have increased, so has crime.
The Chicago Police Department recorded that at least 74 people were shot in the country's third-largest city, with 28 of those shootings occurring between Friday evening and Sunday morning. Two men in their 20s were shot outside an East Garfield Park building just hours after two other people were shot on the exact same block Sunday, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Police had previously been hopeful that gun violence was on a downward trend after seeing more than 1,400 total homicides between 2016 and 2017. The city's shooting victims are predominately on the city's south and west sides.
I was incredulous at this BBC News headline, as my recollection was that Chicago's murder rate was still a big problem. The report refers to a public health approach to violence, with a few problems in getting finance from the political establishment. This approach was copied in Glasgow, Scotland and had a lot of publicity here, alas only in the last few years has anyone here paid attention.

Is it really possible to reduce violent crime by tackling it like an infectious disease?
I do sometimes spot items on policing in Chicago, which I have visited twice decades apart. So first a reminder that this blogsite is worth checking: http://secondcitycop.blogspot.com/ and this neighbourhood website:http://www.cwbchicago.com/
Then and with a wider LE application a recommendation to follow on Twitter @PeterMoskos
Thanks to a "lurker" I found these charts on the mismatch between public perceptions and recorded crime:https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cri...erception-gap/
This then prompted another "lurker" to respond:Another responded:Quote:
Crime rates continue to drop. The exceptions are cities such as Chicago and Baltimore where crime is increasing and spreading. Chicago is out of control.

Today, in America… That perception and belief is driven primarily by what is “right outside one‘s front door” as well as conveyed to them by what others say… Most especially media and politicians. Yes, UCR Part I statistics are definitely showing reduction… In all categories… Some exception to homicide and violent crime depending on the neighborhood, City, culture, month, quarter or year. But what damn difference do statistics make when a person‘s perception drives their belief.
