Maybe a surge will work there like in Iraq

125 shot dead in Chicago
Total Is About Double The U.S. Troop Death Toll In Iraq
CHICAGO (CBS) ― An estimated 125 people were shot and killed over the summer. That's nearly double the number of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq over the same time period.

In May, cbs2chicago.com began tracking city shootings and posting them on Google maps. Information compiled from our reporters, wire service reports and the Chicago Police Major Incidents log indicated that 125 people were shot and killed throughout the city between the start of Memorial Day weekend on May 26, and the end of Labor Day on Sept. 1.

According to the Defense Department, 65 U.S. soldiers were killed in combat in Iraq. About the same number were killed in Afghanistan over that same period.

In the same time period, an estimated 247 people were shot and wounded in the city.

I saw that story.

Notice it doesn't compare Chicago to Baghdad. It's in all Iraq. Who in the world is the community organizer there now?

Is that the most shootings in a major city during the same time period? I ask just cause i know cities like Detroit, DC, and St. Louis are always famed for crime and shootings, just curious how those cities rank along next to chicago in this category.
