Cook County hospital was at one time a great training ground for military medical personnel. You could always find all kinds of patching up to do on weekends, and where else are you going to find a lot of gunshot wounds during peacetime? I don’t know if they still do this.

Chicago is going to have to step it up if they want to be the leader. Baltimore is inching closer.

The local rag talked about “gun violence.”
Guns aren’t violent. People are. Better headline: Black Violence Increases.

They don’t call it Shitcago for nothing.

Ralm, just go over to “Man’s Country” and get a good steam and rubdown and forget your worries.

You also have to factor in that Chicago really has very good and experienced hospitals for this type of injury.

I wonder how much your insurance goes up after getting shot. Like, most of the people involved actually HAVE insurance...

Chicago is worse than Ramadi.

Likely nuffin'. Dey gots free ER treatment to start, free follow-up on Medicaid, an' free SSI Disability if dey survive. It's a win-win if dey live.

If dey's dead dat coroner takes free care of 'em. Momma maybe gets some cash if she gets good lawyer to sue city.

Maybe Odunga should show respect for his hometown and show up with 44 Purple Stars for the wounded.
