New ATF Task Force targets Rockford-area gun violence

"We're talking about a city of 150,000...

There were 153 people shot in Rockford in 2015, 47 percent more shootings than the 104 recorded in 2014.

This year, 105 people were shot on Rockford streets through July. That eclipses the 100 people shot through July 2015 and the total number of shootings in 2014.

Demographics for Rockford indicate 20.5% dindu, figured it would be higher than that under the circumstances...in contrast to say Gary, Indiana which is 84.8% dindu.

according to article - the feds moving in is in response to the ridiculously high/climbing shootings

most of the trouble seems to be on the west side, although it extends to the area bordering the east side of the river. Seems to be a mostly conservative/republican city.

no not familiar with it. I was just reading some local news sites. Checking out where the death crimes were happening on maps. That kind of thing. The local news site seems to post about Trump and not about Hillary.

I used to drive through Rockford when I was in high school for a delivery service. It was a nice area, but this was back in the mid 90s. No idea what that place is like now since I haven't been there since.
