In the last month or so I’ve noticed more of these shootings are on the expressways and tollways rather than side streets.

Scary stuff.

White privilege strikes again! Forces these poor, mistreated creatures to slaughter each other.

I’m pretty sure that by “across the city” they mean the hood.

Pretty slow weekend actually. Rain and Cold over the weekend likely kept the shooting activity down.

Rained Friday, into Friday evening and Saturday morning. Saturday was rather brisk, Sunday (today) was pretty chilly for mid-May. Never got out of the upper 40's/low 50's around the City.

That's likely why the shootings were down this weekend... gangbangers don't like the cold.

My husband and I are on a road trip and passed through the area in the afternoon. I have to say that Chicago and it’s surroundings are utter sh*t. It also left our wallets $40.00 lighter. The tolls were ridiculous.
