At least three men were killed and another five people were wounded across Chicago as the Fourth of July weekend got underway..

On one block in the Back of the Yards neighborhood, a man was killed and another man was wounded about nine hours apart in shootings at the corner of 49th and Justine streets.

Police said both men belonged to the La Razas gang, which has been fighting with a gang to the north in a small pocket of the Back of the Yards called "Halo City.”

Real fireworks.

I'm betting 16 dead youts by Monday!

[umgud]

I’ll see your 16 and raise you another 4.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Keeping it real.

Did those guys get their guns legally? Do they have all required licenses and permits for their weapons?

And did they have good reason for the shootings? Were they dissed or double crossed in a drug deal gone bad, which we know in ghetto culture calls for shooting your adversaries??

How does one gang know when they’ve beaten the other gang?

[Zuben Elgenubi]

I think our President needs to concentrate on gun violence in Chicago.

[Parley Baer]

Ok Baltimore, let’s see what you can do.

Right after taking care of illegal immigration, this nation will get serious about gangs. And once the gang problem is cleaned up, we’ll get serious about the people from terrorist nations we’ve allowed to immigrate here. And once we’ve cleaned up that problem, we’ll get serious about returning jobs to the U. S. And once we’ve returned jobs to the U. S., we’ll get serious about paying down the national debt. And once we get serious about the national debt, we’ll get serious about cleaning up welfare. And once we get serious about cleaning up welfare, we’ll start addressing the real racists in our society, not the descendants of a people from 150 years ago who no longer exist.

As if...

Illegal Aliens killing blacks..gee media what, no outrage, can’t be true, you mean Donald Trump was right

[DoughtyOne]

GANG violence.

He'd like nothing more than to address "gun" violence there.

I don't want to play that game.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Point taken.

[TYVets]

How about banning the NASCAR flag due to these deaths ?

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks. No offense intended.

It’s easy to be thinking decent thoughts and post something that wasn’t what you really intended. I’ve done it often enough.

[DanielRedfoot]

Ok, so it’s Chicago vs Baltamore.

We need a book maker

This neighborhood is occupied by illegal aliens. And those thugs involved in the shootings belong/belonged to the revolutionary La Raza gang, you know, Viva Laraza! As a cop once said, just put some yellow police tape around these neighborhoods and let the thugs kill each other off. Sounds good to me.

double crossed in a drug deal gone bad, which we know in ghetto culture calls for shooting your adversaries?

Not just in ghetto culture - when you make a good or service illegal you guarantee that disputes over that good or service will be resolved violently.

So the spread is 4 points???

K, I’m in for $50...

Midnight Sunday, the deadline??? Pardon the pun...

Are we racists for noticing?
