Random Scandal Sheet for Sunday 8/18/13

What Chicago is talking about this week:

... something we talk about every week -- another murder-iffic period in the big city.

I know, I know -- it's easy to complain.  And I'm out of suggestions -- I've previously advocated for a National Guard presence, or a return to fisticuffs as a method of adolescent dispute resolution, or a Stephen King like Dome to land on the 'hoods that have the worst murder problem (as displayed on the interactive map at the links below).

I will say this -- a picture is allegedly worth a thousand words, so I'll actually resist the urge to pontificate for 866 words more, and just stop at 134 and draw your attention to the way that the murder data is presented (with photos of victims [not crime scene photos] where available).  So sad ...
