From my friend Peter Buxtun:
He notes the conclusion is obvious: cold weather causes homicides!

Is it rasist to say the violence in Chicago is caused by the larger percentage of white people? It's pretty well known that liberal whites are violent.
The population percentages for Chicago add up to 113%! I suspect the number given for non-hispanic whites has an extra 13 added.
The numbers for Chicago seem skewed. I remember seeing 506 and not 806 homicides for example
In Chicago, dead people are people too. For lots of purposes.
Officially, Chicago's Compstat counted 506 homicides. Unofficially, that is about 13% low, with 557 counted by name and address.
Chicago's demographics are also seriously off. "White" 31.7%, "Black" 32.9%, Hispanic 28.9%. The FBI combines Hispanic with everyone else, under "Other."
If each of Chicago's demographic groups homicide rates were typical of the United States, Chicago would have approximately 190 homicides and a rate of 7.0 - instead of at least 557 and a rate of 20.6 per 100,000 population.
Bottom line? Gun control kills.

Wait until the MSM gets a hold of the data. Their conclusion (front page, above the fold) will be that guns are responsible for global warming.
