7 Killed, 47 Wounded in Weekend Shootings Across Chicago
NBC News Chicago ^ | August 22, 2016

Posted on 08/22/2016 5:33:26 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Seven people were killed and at least 47 more people — including an 8-year-old girl — were wounded in shootings across the city between Friday evening and Monday morning, according to Chicago Police.

The weekend’s latest homicides happened within 20 minutes of each other Sunday afternoon on the Southwest and West sides.

About 4:30 p.m. in Gage Park, someone walked up to a 35-year-old man in the hallway of a home in the 5500 block of South Spaulding and shot him in the left leg. He was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he later died, police said. An unspecified number of witnesses were being uncooperative with the investigation, police said. No one was in custody Sunday evening.

At 4:12 p.m. in West Garfield Park, two people walked up to a 23-year-old man on a sidewalk near West End and Keystone avenues and opened fire, hitting him in the chest and abdomen. He died at Stroger Hospital, police said.

The liberal political elites don’t want to talk about the violence in Chicago. They can’t acknowledge the failure and human costs of their policies.

Political Careers Matter.

Every Monday morning (or the next rally), Mr. Trump should start by taking out a sheet of paper and read off the names of those killed and wounded in a DEMOCRATIC run city.

Make it real and make it so it can no longer be ignored by big media.

And send a copy to BLM.

To the democrat Libs, Black Lives seem to Matter “only” IF THE TRIGGER FINGER WAS WHITE.”
Tragically it appears that an AMERICAN, in uniform, may be safer in Afghanistan that a black “ute” in the average American city, and that include little children within range of a stray bullet.
Ever notice how the “Reverend Al” only shows up when the trigger finger is white, while “dressed in BLUE?”

BLM actually runs more to “Opportunities to shake someone down for money or political favors.”
Jesse Jackass and Al Sharpy ran out things to shake folks down for. The guilt and the money ran out. So BLM is the new path for shaking down the productive classes.
Whatever it is, BLM is not about saving black lives.

Hypocrisy has never bothered liberals, nor the media that that serves them.

The over/under was 45.

I usually bet the under when it's early in the month and the EBT cards still have money in them; then switch to the over as they get testier and testier when they run out of cash.

2009...the Obamas jet to Europe in a bid to influence to IOCC to place the 2016 summer games in Chicago.

On the first ballot, Chicago was eliminated.”Chicago is OUT?!?!?”, said the dumbfounded CNN anchor.

So this world class city could have been coming off the buzz of an Olympiad just now. Murders prob would have still happened.
