Per "The Wayback Machine", the site has been up since January of 2013.
A good feature of heyjackass.com (besides the always entertaining Shot-in-the-Junk-O-Meter) is that the address of every shooting is posted. If you're familiar with Chicago, you can see that almost all of the shootings are south of Armitage Avenue (2000 North). With the exception of the flash mobs coming to the Loop and Magnificent Mile to loot stores, mug tourists, and carjack nice rides, the shootings are in the neighborhoods that have always been high-crime neighborhoods; they're just higher-crime now. (If you don't know the city, there's a helpful map that shows the shootings, by neighborhood.)
