Thee city of Chicago went six days without a homicide, something that hasn't happened here since the end of 2012. About noon Saturday, a man was found lying face down in the 5400 block of West Ohio Street in South Austin. The medical examiner's office on Sunday identified him as Antoine Watkins, 22, and determined his death was a homicide, caused by multiple gunshot wounds. His death came six days after that of James Morris, 23, of the 3100 block of West 15th Place, who was killed about 11 a.m. Feb. 26 while sitting in a vehicle in the 1300 block of South Kedzie Avenue. It marked the longest stretch without a homicide in the city since at least Dec. 3-9, 2012, according to a Tribune analysis of city homicide data. Knew there was something up in Chicago, when for almost a whole week the violent city of Chicago wasn't in the news. America this is the best news to come out of the city of Chicago since Obama basically became President...So are we seeing a sign of change in Chicago without a homicide for six days in Americas war zone of a city? Have the citizens of Chicago gone to the streets to take their cities back from thugs, so that Chicago doesn't have to witness Federal enforcement which Trump has stated that Chicago needs a couple of times since Trump was inaugurated? To see a story where no violence where anyone has been murdered in Chicago for six days, it one of those rare feel good stories for the soul. This is almost the first time in five years where Chicago has gone nearly a full week with peace. With this though you have to wonder if Federal law enforcement officials are picking thugs up off the streets of Chicago now on a daily basis...Since Trump has stated the city of Chicago needed Federal help. If we didn't have Trump as our President threatening Chicago with Federal help, this six days without homicides that Chicago just experienced...Would likely be a different story today.
