A city employee caught in gang crossfire was among five people killed and 40 more wounded in shootings across Chicago between Friday afternoon and Monday morning.
Chicago Police issued a statement Sunday in the middle of one of the first consistently warm weekends of the spring, as intensified city gun violence typically accompanies rising temperatures.
As we look toward the summer months, Superintendent Johnson has made it very clear that the violence will not be tolerated period, the statement said. The cause of the violence traces back decades, and everyone has a role to play in fixing it police working with parents, judges, residents, clergy, community leaders, and others. Put simply, we need more values, fewer guns and stronger sentences against violence offenders.
At least 32 people were wounded in shootings between 7 p.m. Friday and 9:30 p.m. Sunday.

Are there no gun laws that need passing? Are there no 'Gun Free Zone' signs? What's the matter with the mayor anyway?

...intensified city gun violence... Guns don't commit violence, people do. So, who are these people?
...and stronger sentences against violence offenders.
Now, if these people committing violence are who I think they are, ain't that suggestion racist?

The law that needs attention is the 2011 one that abolished the death penalty in the state of Illinois.
Rescinding that law is the only answer to reducing the murder rate in Chicago.
All the endless blatherings and inane excuses by the city's pols are, as MacBeth told us, "tales told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

1 - Pull out all undercover, plainclothes, and legal CCWs.
2 - Sniper overwatch of high-crime areas.
3 - Shoot to kill upon sight any armed individual.
