As long time Chicagoan, this is very normal because the shootings did not spill over to other neighborhoods. No just lost

If Chicago just had stronger gun restrictions, this wouldn’t happen? [Sarcasm?]

If any Freepers live in or around Chicago, go to this website https://heyjackass.com/. It will show you where all the killing and shooting and other criminal activities are happening and you may want to avoid driving near those areas.

Wall off Chicongo from the rest of the country. Send in the Rangers to clear and clean up the entirety of the city. Arrest the communist mayor and throw him jail as an enemy of the state.

“.......you may want to avoid driving near those areas.”........

I’d correct that statement to read, “You may want to avoid driving ANYWHERE near or in Chicago”. Since it is obvious those who choose to “shoot em up” don’t discriminate when or where they begin target practicing.
