Some people believe the best way to avoid rampant violence in bad neighborhoods involves driving past them on freeways doing at least 70mph. In Illinois, however, even if you don’t stop in the most dangerous parts of Murder City, USA, there remains a non-negligible change of getting shot anyway. Or at least shot at.
Violence on expressways is so bad in Chicagoland that Illinois State Police have set up a website to track them.
ABC 7 has the story . . .
Illinois State Police have launched a new tool to battle expressway shootings.
The new interactive map plots out every reported shooting on every Illinois expressway since 2019. It provides details on the locations, timing and whether there were injuries or deaths linked to the shooting.
“We want to provide this information to the general public, community stakeholders, our traffic safety partners, other first responders, and our law enforcement partners to assure them that we are committed to our mission of ensuring public safety on our expressway systems,” ISP Director Brendan F. Kelly said in a written statement. “Knowing when and where these violent crimes are being committed, provides us with another tool to combating these violent and senseless crimes.”
A database as a tool to battle expressway shootings? Is this really the Illinois State Police’s strategy to combat Chicagoland violent crime? Well, under Governor J.B. Pritzker’s administration, it might be.
Violence in Chicago remains dialed up to eleven so far in the new year. In fact, 2021 homicides rose to 849 thanks to a few of 2020’s victims finally succumbing to their injuries. 2022 isn’t looking much better with fifty folks meeting an untimely end in January alone.
Zooming out, aside from ballistic activity in East St. Louis, Illinois and the cesspool that is Chicagoland, there have only been about three expressway shootings in the state since 2019. Two near Rockford and one west of Terre Haute.
No doubt Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot would like to keep news of the new ISP website buried where the sun doesn’t shine as it doesn’t present a good argument for her plan to reimagine policing or the city’s response to violent crime. So whatever you do, don’t share this story with anyone.
Hey I live near this BS. Casually looking at options in Indiana. Which is “better”. Love to move a lot farther but my girl has an antique/decorating business with a horde of fans & $ nearby. Sure has been ez to buy gunz n ammo…and you watch honking yer horn🙄
Whatever. Sober up, pops.
My quality of life is extremely low due to the loss of my ability to control my bowels. I just love the anàl sèx so much!
well you sre can’t control you keyboard. Take this perversion elsewhere. Not welcome here. Abuse your body like that.payback comes along sooner or later. Chump.
Please excuse the rudeness of my little boy.
Ever since I repeatedly dropped him on his head as a baby, he just hasn’t been right in the head. He keeps imagining he’s married, when in reality, no woman in her right mind would let him mount her.
Further, he has this delusion of being ‘highly educated’, when in reality, all he did was get high smoking while in high school, never even graduating.
Now, his days are spent in my basement being on line, and watching very disturbing pornography involving dogs performing sexual acts with people.
Don’t set yourself up for an Indiana I-80/94 commute to work. Wouldn’t be much point to going home at night, you’d just have to turn right around and head back.
@FWW
Bummer!
Do what you have to do to keep Mama happy…even if it means having to stay in Lightfoot’s Fantasy Island Paradise.
Back in 2005, my Department sent me to Chicago to participate in the 50th St. Paddy’s Parade…I had a lot of fun…no problems (of course I was in the company of hundreds of armed Officers at the time). Going back as a retiree, subject to your State’s increasingly draconian idiocy, is not gonna happen.
Keep tellin em how to stop it…….just have to get more roll-offs!😈
I-94, I-90, I-290, I-294, I-355, I-88, I-55, I-57 and I-80. God, I hate Chitkybo.
A full tank of gas and I74 gets you across Ill and to Indiana. No contact in occupied territory required. No need to leave even $0.10 in the cesspool (perhaps a rest area stop for a BM).
That one of many reasons I live in South Carolina!
Sounds like Sporting Clay’s might have some competition.
HOW TO BEAT THE VIOLENCE THUGS , AT THEIR OWN BS . ?
MORE POLICE , CAMERA’S , HOW TO FIND OUT WHO THEY ARE ??
Wow that’s really strange, more crime and violence where there are more people, who would’ve thought that would be the case?
Gee, MinorIQ, there are these little things in statistics that intelligent people generally refer to as “percentages” and “rates per capita” . . . but I guess you’re too uneducated in statistics to understand that, so lemme ‘splain it to you. If Littletown, U.S.A. has 100,000 residents, and it has two murders in one year, that is generally represented as 2/100,000, or .0002%. Now, if a blue city s***hole, like, say, Chicago, has a CURRENT murder rate of 18.26 per 100,000, that means you are, lemme see, I make it you’re about 25 to 30 TIMES more likely to get shot in Chitcago than in Littletown, U.S.A. Perhaps absolute numbers mean exactly dick. to statisticians. I’d much rather live in Littletown than Chitcago, and that’s not JUST because of Chitcago’s idiot mayor and the horrible state government of that fat fraud Pritzker.
Yeah, more people mean more crime. More government-dependent, useless drones, crammed into dysfunctional blue cities, mean LOTS more crime PER CAPITA. But intelligent people know that. Guys like you, not so much.
But thanks for your brilliant (not!) effort at sarcasm – like you, it failed.
Lol. Looks like you win again, Lamp. It must be awesome to be such an intellectual giant.
Just kidding. You’re a pedestrian intellect (and that’s being kind) and literally no one likes you, most especially your estranged wife!

Hey, nameless, brainless troll!
Still haven’t gotten that GED, have you, idiot?? Haven’t figured out Balaam’s off ass, yet, either?? Not surprised; you’re a stupid clown.
Keep f***in’ that chicken, nameless, brainless troll. I’m having fun kicking your ass all over this blog. You are too stupid to insult. Go visit the cable.
Yes, it is important to examine the rates of violent crime to determine which areas are the safest, and per capita is the most valid methodology.
But for some reason you seem to have trouble grasping the difference between raw numbers and per capita when it comes to a large population.
When considering the rate of violent crime, Chicago isn’t even in the top 100.

Mostly areas with larger than average black and Hispanic populations.
I didn’t waste a great deal of time with this, but, just for fun, I checked on the political affiliations of the mayors of each of the first seven cities on the list.
Would you care to guess to which political party each belongs? Hint: It does not begin with ‘R.’
Of course, I didn’t bother to check the RACE of any of the mayors, but I DID notice that a high percentage had really good tans. Nor did I check to see how LONG a certain political party had been in power, but that could be a relevant factor.
What can we glean from these nuggets of information?
I report; You decide.
NO matter where you inve, your chances of getting outof here aive are ZERO. Its only a matter of when.
@Miner49er
The victim of crime cares not for the rate at which crime happens.
The victim of crime is a raw number. The rate of crime is simply a reflection of raw numbers of commission of reported crime, its another way to say how many reported crimes in raw numbers happened. There is actually no difference of type between raw numbers and the rate of crime, comparison to a per-population basis is used to represent the reported numerical clusters of the raw rates and not that one area is safer than another. And this “one area safer than another ’cause lower crime rate” concept put forth by cities and stats and gun-control with their “oh crime fell when guns were regulated” and so forth and so on in relation to crime and victims is the big deception and yet another false cause fallacy.
Crime can happen anywhere at any time, and it does period. Determining the rate at which crime happens in a certain area is not an indication of one area being safer or more crime free than another, its simply saying there was more or less numerical cluster of raw numbers of reported crime in a certain area during a certain time period.
“Chance of being a victim” comparisons are not actually the chances of being a victim. They are actually the chances of a crime being reported by a victim. Until a crime is reported there is officially no crime to report in the “stats” which is why such stats are deceptive because the majority of crime overall is not reported.
Over 40% of theft crimes (e.g. burglary, larceny, car theft, etc…) go unreported, over 60% of violent crime (non-rape, non-murder) goes unreported (including non-rape domestic violence), over 66% of rapes go unreported, 50% of the crime that occurs at a school goes unreported because school officials attempt to handle the situation and do not want to report it, Whites are more likely to let a crime go unreported than racial minorities but 46% of African American victims and 54% of white non-Hispanics do not report crimes, 67% of hate crimes go unreported, and a rough estimate places murder being discovered or reported only 37% of the time (also known as ‘hidden homicides’).
Areas with the less ‘crime rate’ are frequently hot bed areas of crime that remains unreported mostly due to fear of reprisal.
A persons chances of being a victim, or being in an area with crime, are actually far greater than these “stats” and “comparison’ numbers show. For every 8 hours a person spends in public near strangers they are targeted as a potential victim of a violent crime at least three times. If that crimes takes place or not is simply a matter of choice by the criminal person(s) doing the targeting.
The gun-control version is pointing to stats like these and saying that because guns were tightly regulated or denied to people violent crime ‘rates’ fell. Its a lie. The presence and rate of crime does not decrease because there is a tool removed from or controlled (regulated) in the society environment. Crime simply because less reported because criminals become more brutal with other means invoking more fear causing crime to be less reported for fear of reprisal thus it appears “officially” that “violent crime’ fell when a ‘gun-control’ was enacted. Its the same everywhere, even in other countries, in the absence of guns violent crime seems to ‘officially’ decrease because crime simply because less reported because criminals become more brutal with other means invoking more fear causing violent crime to be less reported for fear of reprisal.
So if you are in one of these fairy tale places of make believe where you are supposedly less likely to be a victim or supposedly less likely to be in a crime area – remember: What you don’t see and don’t know can also hurt you, be prepared.
“Miner is a Racíst!”
This is spot on. Anyone who continued to vote democrap after the LBJ “reset” is.
LBJ admitted it himself.
MinorIQ, please stop embarrassing yourself (if you are able). That was SUCH a clown move on your part to post that list, because my OBVIOUS response is “What is the political party of the Mayor of those cities?” To which an idiot like you is going to respond, “What does that have to do with anything?”
BECAUSE, you absolute cretin, the VAST majority (almost unanimous) are Dimocrat Leftist/fascists, like you, and actively promoting the same Leftist/fascist policies you support.
Now, tell me again how much you’d like to live in a Dim-controlled city?? And, while you’re at it, perhaps you can give us some more of your brilliant Constitutional interpretation? I haven’t had a good laugh since the last time I kicked the crap out of dacian the stupid and the nameless, brainless troll.
The one thing I can always count on with you Leftist/fascists is that you will double down on stupid at every opportunity. Shooting yourself in the foot ain’t a good gun safety practice, MinorIQ.
It will be interesting to see if my former hometown of Philadelphia makes that list next year but glad to see my neighbors in Wilmington and Camden got out of the single digits for the per capita ranking….. but now that I read through the faq I realize this is all violent crime and not just murders that are typically focused on. Better metric over all on this one so assuming the data/compilation is solid good find for objective views of relative chaos in the community.
And yet the entire rest of the state (for all intents and purposes) has basically zero highway shootings.
While it is true that the greater Chicago Metropolitan Area makes up a huge percentage of Illinois’ total population, other areas still make up a significant percentage of the total population as well, although we don’t see rampant violent crime.
In the final analysis, you will find that the murder and attempted murder RATE per CAPITA in urban Hellscapes such as Chicago is on the order of 100 times greater than the rate per capita outside of those Hellscapes. That tells us that there is significant societal illness and malaise in those urban Hellscapes that is non-existent in the rest of our nation.
Anyone who really cares about our fellow citizens should be asking why (violent crime is virtually non-existent in the hinterlands) and then implement the hinterlands’ de facto working solution in those urban Hellscapes.
It’s the “expressways ” causing the crime. These “ghost” expressways got to go !
You are in fellowship with one of the greatest minds of our time, there.
Ex-Mayor/Father of the Year/Transportation Secretary Buttigieg has come to the same conclusion: Racist White Supremacist Highways! You see, if we could just remove all of those Racist White Supremacist highways from inner cities, the very next DAY all the fully-vaccinated multicultural children would be happily frolicking ‘neath the smiling Sun all day, on the cotton-candy grass, amongst the gumdrop trees, beside the Flavor-Aid rivers!
Fact!
John in AK, please spell Buttplug correctly.
implement the hinterlands’ de facto working solution in those urban Hellscapes.
The defacto working solution outside the big city hellscapes is quite simple, and is proven effective. (“Safe and effective”, just like that “vaccine” is falsely claimed to be)
The solution is this: WHEN criminals are detained, PUT THEM IN JAIL until tial, unless they have a solid track record of being reliable.Don’t want any bla jumpers, now, do we? Of COURSE not.
Once they are detained, fair trial. Prosecutors MUST work hard to prove the evidence is valid, the crime ws indeed committed. Judges who WILL apply sentences that hurt. No early outs, did the crime do the time. No plea bargains, (lazy DS”a like these) IN crimes where property loss and damage occur, perp has to make full restitiution before release, establish work cams where such people can work off their debt. No r=freedom til the victim is comensated.
You’re welcome to move to Cook County, IL if that makes you FEEL safe.
Welcome to Chicago, please turn on your dashcam so we know whose wrist to slap before turning them loose with our new anti-racist no cash bail policy. Please enjoy your trip to our shrinking metro area and be ready to duck and seek cover!
Oh, and FJB!
Commute? LOL. I’m retired. We both get checks. I’ve been literally everywhere in a 100 mile radius. There as no “safe space”. Homie is robbing rich folks in the Gold Coast,near North and Oak Brook alike. I sometimes wonder aloud if Boch has ever been to Chiraq and environs…lock n load all you weenies.
That’s pretty much every highway in and out of Chicago.
Also know as the SHTF evacuation routes.
All roads leading to Hell pass through Chicago.
Hewre we go again from t’other side of the pond, In the UK the TOTAL number of illegal deaths is less than ONE TGHOUSAND per 65 million [you do the maths per capitaa] I 2019 the number of which I have to hand, was 784 to 798depending on how the count was doner. That number includes ALL murders and manslaughter ,where death was not the original intent] including gun crime, kniife crime, domestic violence[ the most numerous category] and Acts of Terrorism the least numerous. Incidents of gun crime can be mostly counted on the fingers and those that involve Police actions on the fingers of one hand.
Most gun crime is commited by young & foolish amateurs, mostly drug related at street level and most end in the death of the perpetrator. Most hardened criminals do not use guns because they know that they WILL get at least ten years behind bars just for threatening with or the possession of a firearm.
It seems then that CAPITAL punishment is no deterent. Why is it then considered as something of dubious honour that in the case quoted above that ILLINOIS in not in the top one hundred as regards murder!?
Why is it then that Americans still consu iddr America to be a bastion of personal freedom when the only freedom apparent from this side of the pond is the freedom to indulge in mayhem and murder

I am now 83 years old and apart from my Service in Her Majesties Forcers I have only twice been threatenend or subjected to any kind of physical threat or minor violence and botgh time it was atvbthe hands of a couple of drunks. Two of whom got thourough kicking by me- I was a damn sight younger then for their troubles and all of whom got Criminal Records that stayed with them for a very long long time. I’ve never even seen a firearm in the hands of anybody without good cause -[my b ex-brother -in- law had STALKERS LICENCE for the OFFICIAL shooting of deer
Albert Hall,
Two simple factors are the primary cause of our large violent crime rates in urban cores in the United States:
1) Elimination of nuclear family and Judeo-Christian values.
2) Progressive (Democrat) control of urban Hellscapes for the last 60+ years.
Outside of urban cores in the United States where nuclear families are the norm and Judeo-Christian values dominate, the violent crime rate is (for all intents and purposes) zero.
Freedom and easy access to potentially dangerous items is NOT the root problem. That is crystal clear because the 100+ million people in the United States where nuclear families and Judeo-Christian values are in-tact are free and have easy access to potentially dangerous items–and yet they do not shoot and/or murder innocent people.
Yes, LBJs “Big Reset”.
I prefer dangerous freedom to being a “subject”…enjoy your serfdumb old timer. Happy we threw you out quite awhile ago. Enjoy battling jihad with cricket bats and airsoft…
Can always toss a can of Spotted Dick at them.
lil’d, whiner49er, and the troll farm enjoy getting hit with Spotted Dick. Any type for that matter.
You should also include the fact that in the UK unless there is a conviction homicides are listed as deaths by misadventure per the Home Office’s instructions.
Albert Hall,
It continues to amaze me that you subjects think we give a shit about your opinions of our country. Try again, subject.
We could solve our crime problems overnight, if our idiot Dimocrats would get the hell out of the way, but their politics and ideology prevent meaningful action.
But thanks for giving us the view from “the other side of the pond”, we need regular reminders of why 1776 was the right move on our part.
You’re 83, and only twice been threatened with violence? Why was I subjected to threats of violence in the UK more times than that, when I’ve spent less than 2 months in your country all my life? Probably because you’re a bunch of racists, and I’m not very English. I shouldn’t complain though. When three drunken Englishmen attacked me, it turned into a Hannah-Barbera cartoon. I slapped one down, second stepped up to be slapped down, then the third, by which time the first had picked himself up off the floor to be slapped down again. I was enjoying myself, until the barmaid yelled “here come the bobbies”, then ushered me into a back room and told me which way I should go to avoid the cops. Fekkin’ drunk Limey sailors!
Thinking about it, I’d like to go another round. Yeah, I’m an old man now, but slapping three Brits around doesn’t take much strength or stamina.
I know cities suck, especially blue cities, but since we in the Red States rely so heavily on the redistribution of wealth from blue to red, what can we do to help?
They can’t be forced to secede, can they? That would eliminate blue funded handouts.
And I am pretty sure there are at least some law-abiding taxpayers there. Does anyone have any ideas on how to rescue them? The socialist programs in place to take the wealth of blue states and give to the red states, depends on taxes levied on residents of big cities and ultimately backed up by force. One can’t look to corporate farmers due to the distortion of capitalism, in the form of agricultural subsidies and price supports flowing from taxpayers.
Again, Blue States subsidize Red States. How about, since this site is supposedly about guns, not dog-whistled racism, anal antics or feeble attempts at wit and sarcasm, a gun solution could be , declare it’s in the national interest to arm different factions that give lip service to “freedom” and “democracy “. Arm different gangs, encourage them to fight it out and let God sort them out.
Worked in Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan…
Hey, we have a new troll! Can’t be dacian the stupid (the writing is far too good an approximation of English to be dacian), and it is MUCH too wordy to be our nameless, brainless troll, so . . . we have a new nitwit to abuse.
First of all, nitwit, that is a bogus statistic, and you probably know that. The vast majority of that “imbalance” is . . . payments to the DoD. The VAST majority of military bases, and military members, are in “red states”. The other major portion are agricultural subsidies, which, as a policy, most Republicans, and all libertarians, oppose – we have them because you nitwit Leftists would starve to death, otherwise.
So, go ahead and separate, Leftist/fascist – have fun eating your shoes, you clown.
Take a solid look at where the shooting is going on in any city. 90% is in 10% of the community. LE deals with the same problems in the same neighborhoods every day. Those same neighborhoods are either taught from birth that the PO PO is the enemy, or are so frightened of the local gangs they don’t report crime, or don’t pass information to the police so the criminals can be arrested and prosecuted. Unless and until the people who live in these areas decide they have had enough and act, nothing will improve. The same gangs and criminals will run rampant and the bodies will continue to stack up.
Did anyone else notice that the red outline looks like Godzilla is destroying Chicago?
(Or is it just me?)
