The Crime Statistics are skewed in Chicago. Those with guns know that are killing people are in the hands of people who know now they can get away with murder.

Jessie Jackson needs to consider running for Mayor or bringing in someone who can stop the violence. No one else seems to understand the circumstances.

That number marks a significant jump from the same period last year, despite an increase of "hundreds" of officers on the street to prevent violence.

"It’s groundhog day here in Chicago again," Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said this morning, in an apparent reference to repeated spasms of violence in the city.

Of the 14 fatalities, two were shot dead by police.

More Than 60 Shot, 9 Dead in Chicago's Bloody Holiday Weekend

The Chicago police department released different statistics claiming the weekend saw 50 shootings that included nine fatalities.

Figures calculated by ABC News' affiliate WLS began at 4 p.m. Thursday to 3:30 a.m. Monday and totaled 82 shootings....

Freedom to kill never stops the killing. Contrary to popular belief.
