It’s White Privilege ... or something.
It is MONDAY. How many people are checking FR, not to find football results, but rather to get the CASUALTY reports from the Democratic paradise of CHICAGO? I’m serious, waiting until the Chicago scores are published front page everywhere.
Slow weekend. As the weather gets colder going into Winter the # of shootings and killings drops. (I live in the Chicago area, I know this ....)
I have 656 and the over.Let’s get going boys!
Maybe with a big Christmas week push, they can shoot a few "3 pointers" and raise the score enough to crest 700. Let's get crackin' guys! Time's a-wastin'!
The year started with great optimism, and 800 was in reach but the boys just petered out. Well there's always next year!

LOL!!!!!
“Quiet weekend. They better step up their game. There are only 3 weeks left in the year and they’ve only had 643 murders so far. I was hoping they’d break 700.”
Lets start a freepathon “woo hoo” canmpaign trying to nudge it up to 700. Appeal to Christmas spirit of shooting.
“shot in the leg and died.” As I learned in combat trauma class leg (and arm) wounds are flesh wounds only on TV.
Let's step it up Chicago, you've got only three weeks to break that magic 700 number.
More dangerous than an ISIS inspired terrorist attack in NY.
I would like to see a breakdown by race of shooter and victim. Then throw it in the BLM morons’ faces.
