Chicago Tribune ^ | 05/29/2016 | Peter Nickeas , Grace Wong and Joe Mahr

A string of nearly two dozen shootings on the West Side has pushed the number of people shot during the Memorial Day weekend to at least 40, with two more days to go.

As of early Sunday morning, the toll stood at four dead and 36 wounded across the city, including a 15-year-girl shot to death as she rode in a Jeep on Lake Shore Drive near Fullerton Avenue, police said. Last year, 12 people were killed and 44 people were wounded over the holiday weekend.

Chicago is a quagmire. We should pull out...........

I don’t know what to say after a while. What will it take to get a handle on the gang violence among minorities, which we aren’t supposed to mention because it would be racist??

What will it take to get a handle on violence, in these Democrat run cities??? As distressed as we all are about these events, no way that the Democrats who have run these cities for generations can blame any of it on Republicans.

Isn't this profiling? Won't more Blacks than Whites be affected by this move?

This also implies that Blacks are more violent than Whites. How can this stand? The truth is not allowed, eh?

No valid way. But that won't stop them from blaming Republicans anyway. And their dull-witted constituents will nod and say, "D**n those Republicans!"

To the BLM terrorists, these extinguished black lives are unimportant.

They weren’t shot dead by white cops. The Chicago carnage goes on.

Patrols is one thing, getting out of the patrol car is quite another.

White cops don’t want to go there.

Shooting dead a black thug is a good way to finish off your career.

Not worth it.

A federal effort to arm every responsible citizen in Chicago and surrounding suburbs. The problem would then take care of itself.

The feds could de-commision every used pistol in the arsenals, hand them out to the public and in return buy new pistols. Win-win in my book.

Chicago Police should guard and protect the innocent, law abiding citizen taxpayers of Chicago.

It should be easy, there's far more Chicago cops than citizens deserving protection.

Then, station the CPD with AR’s at all streets leading into the area in question. Blacks need to clean up their own mess! Survival of the fittest!

I never thought I would ever come to think that the Taliban may be more civilized than certain elements in our urban population.

Let Jessie Jackson, Sharpton, Obama, Jarrett, Holder, Lynch, Sanders, Clintoon and the White House Wookie patrol the west side with no cops, secret service nor weapons.

Then, they can experience what the unarmed innocents in Chicago fear 24/7/365.

Sounds like a job for the SPKF (Somalia Peace Keeping Force.) The mayor should call the U.N.

Good for them.

If these people want to kill each other off,so be it.

Lack of jobs, as some do-gooders say,is NOT the problem.
