Chicago was yet again riddled with a flurry of shootings this Fourth of July weekend, with at least 47 wounded and nine killed, according to multiple media reports.
The numbers were down from last year’s holiday weekend after police increased their presence by nearly a third — 2014 saw over 80 shootings with 16 fatalities. Police also seized over 80 illegal guns over the holiday, averaging around one per hour, DNA Info reported.
Some 3,400 illegal guns have been confiscated so far this year, according to the city’s police department.

Surprised it was only 9. Either it wasn’t hot enough or they can’t aim. When is the Obama Prayer service and presser???

The usual Chicago Weekend Crime Report, a regular Monday feature on the Michael Berry Show in Houston, ran into an unusual second segment today. He was able to cover all the murders fairly quickly, but the recitation of the assorted non-fatal gunshot incidents required the remainder of the first segment, and all of a second segment as well.
Even though it was a more calm July 4 weekend in Chicago this year than last, it was still pretty disorderly nonetheless.
I remember some years ago the new mayor of Chicago, a sniveling, whiny excuse for a human being named Rahm Emanuel, was comically reduced to begging the Chicago gangbangers to avoid committing drive-by shootings in order to reduce the number of collateral casualties. I wonder how that initiative is working for Mr. Emanuel these days.
Not too well, I would surmise.

The media will blame the gun, but its black on black crime, or gang banger on gang banger crime, many of those gang members are also in this country illegally. That poor 7 year old child took a bullet for his gang banging father I hope that fact eats that man alive til the day he dies

official count for the weekend has now been upped to 10 dead and 53 wounded ... a little off our best pace, but acceptable nonetheless
none have yet been confirmed the victims of concealed carry license holders
