While we consider ourselves one of the smallest and non-consequential minnows in sea of much larger jagoffs, we do illustrate what could be considered uncomfortable facts for Non-Essentials. In light of recent wrongthink purges (including two of our videos on YouTube and the ability to post on FB) we’ll look to expand our minuscule alternative social media footprints over the coming months. We now have a Telegram group, plus you can find us at Flote, MeWe, Odysee, Rumble, Minds, DLive and Parler.
Chalkie and SWAT shirts are back in stock and now shipping. Browse all our framable sarcasm, stickers and tees and gear up for the Mostly Peaceful-ist, Downward Trending, Misconception-ized Summer Ever!

Carjacking data comes directly from the CPD’s own data set, so add 20% to obtain the true numbers. Carjacking and arrest tallies are directly related to either the IUCR codes of 0325 & 0326 only. Other auto related crimes are not included. Previous year data sets represent the entire year’s tally.

Sites we like.
As a small percentage of idiots ventilate one another with reckless abandon, we diligently record, document and illustrate every blame-it-on-______ event. Your support in any amount is greatly appreciated.
If you’d like to support others in the Chicago Scanner community, we ask that you please support those who provide everyone with up to the minute news and information by supporting – Spot News, Chicago Scanner, CrimeIsDown.com & Solutions & Resources Street Pastors
Ad Blockers: We do make a few pennies from ad revenue, so if you wouldn’t mind whitelisting us if you run an ad blocker that would be super.
Brave Users: click on the BAT triangle in the address bar to either send a tip or make a monthly standing contribution. If you’re not using the Brave browser, you should be.
We compile our own dataset using the following sources: Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Homicide Watch Chicago (no longer updated), DNAInfo Chicago (out of business), Chicago Redeye Homicide Tracker (no longer updated), NBC5 Chicago, Chicago Tribune’s Shooting Tracker & Homicide Tracker, Sun-Times Homicide Tracker, Cook County Medical Examiner, CPD’s Historical Data Set, City of Chicago Data Portal, Chicago Police Department Arrest Record Search, CPD CLEARMAP and the needlessly woke Chicago Violence Reduction Dashboard.
Community areas and neighborhoods are determined by the Chicago Tribune’s Boundaries App and/or Crimeisdown.com’s most excellent Incident Map.
Editor’s note: All murders are homicides, but not all homicides are murders. We count homicides, whereas the CPD counts murders. A homicide, or a non-fatal shooting, regardless of type or by whom, within the city limits of Chicago counts towards our total metric, including anything on the expressways. CPD-involved, ISP-involved and justifiable homicides all count. Reckless homicides may count if the Medical Examiner rules that the cause of death was a homicide. Suicides do not count. Additional definitions can be found on the Glossary page.
