CHICAGO -- At least 26 people have been shot, five fatally, in weekend gun violence across Chicago, police said.

A woman fatally shot a knife-wielding man early Sunday in Morgan Park inside a home on the Far South Side.

The shooting happened around 12:45 a.m. when a 41-year-old man who the woman knew approached her with a knife inside her home in the 11500 block of South Vincennes Avenue, Chicago police said.

The woman then pulled out a gun and shot the man four times in his torso, police said. He was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead, officials said.

It sounds as if some Chicago residents are arming up and returning fire.

What else is going on in Chicago you might ask? What is contributing to such a hell-hole of crime on a daily basis? It could be because of policies such as this one below.

Chicago man has been arrested 5 times since Illinois eliminated cash bail

Or, because of criminals such as this one being allowed to walk and act freely with no worries about repercussions.

Man with 10 pending felony cases in 3 states robbed a woman near Union Station, Chicago police say

As I said, some people are starting to return fire.

Shootout between robbers, concealed carry holder caps another night of robbery sprees in Humboldt Park, Bucktown

When the social contract breaks down and the police and judicial system no longer uphold their end of the bargain, the people start taking their safety into their own hands (as it should be).

The rank hypocrisy of gun control. They are not confiscating the weapons of the evil people in the Chicago area, so don’t even think about confiscating ours with which we do nothing wrong like that.

The Chitown thugs of color kill ratio (~20%) inched up a little from last week. They're getting better at shooting sideways but the thugs in Newark and Philly are still laughing at them.

At the rate the problem should solve itself in about 5821 years.

The majority of the shootings are taking place long after midnight. Why are these people out that late?

It was five before the sun came up Sunday morning, must have declared a truce to keep the count at five.

Bad total here, the correct total was eight for the weekend, wonder if the funeral homes are running a special this week.

Glad Chicagoland has such strict anti gun laws.

Just saw this. Relates to the epidemic of inner city thug violence, not most violent but maybe most disgusting video I’ve ever seen.

Pure blatant hate crime. Won’t even be covered or investigated.

Yeah, if it was’t for the anti-gun laws, Chicago would probably see mayhem in the streets.
