A failure of liberalism in Chicago

NY Times:

Rate of Killings Rises 38 Percent in Chicago in 2012

Increasing violence has left large scars on some of the poorest neighborhoods on the South and West Sides.
It is a city with one of the most restrictive gun control laws in the country and it has been ruled by liberals for decades.  While it is the home of Jesse Jackson, who went all the way to Florida to demonstrate against the murder of Trayvon Martin, in his own back yard young black men are killing young black men at a rate that exceeds combat deaths in Afghanistan.  There is a true failure of the liberal culture that dominates the area and keeps electing liberals.  But, the state of Illinois is a cesspool of liberalism, where tax and spend policies are pursued and promises are made to government employees that cannot be sustained.
