Killings in Chicago

At least 47 school-age children in Chicago have been killed in homicides, mostly by guns, since the month President Barack Obama took office.

The latest youth homicide in his adopted hometown was different only in that the attackers used splintered railroad ties and were captured on video broadcast globally. ....

[US Education Secretary] Duncan said earlier this year that his attempts to curb violence were ineffective when he oversaw Chicago’s schools.

“I thought I had made things better in some areas,” he said April 14 in Chicago. “This is an area where I was a total failure.”



Agreed. And the same assessment may be made of the Obama administration.
