    They really should pass laws against killing people in those cities.

    532 was the final number in Chicago for 2012. I see they are starting this year off with a bang as well.

    I'm rooting for NY!

    More gun laws would probably help. More soda laws too. You can never have too many of those.

    I wonder if some of those shootings were caused by people that couldn't get drinks larger than 16ozs. Lack of caffeine can make you do strange things.

    In a moment of morbid humor I bet lunch with a co-worker last week that the over/under for Chicago was 510. Looks like he's buying.

    What? They don't have laws against killing each other?

    Don't these people pay attention to the laws they have?
