Guess they’re running behind in printing those “Gun Free Zone” signs.

I sure each shooter had a valid FOID and passed a background check.

The importance of not feeling disrespected.

All about “me”, no thought of community, etc.

Slow night and really poor marksmanship.

Nobody has the courage to say that guns are not the problem. This doesn’t happen in other places that have lots of guns, only in predominantly black areas.

"Dems should do a sit-in on the south side."

In a gun free zone, without their body guards and at night, just to make it real.

Just this week on FB a libtard blamed Indiana for the gun violence in Chicago . He said it was too easy to get guns there and bring them to Chi town !

The victim breakdown 2016: 75.7% black 18.8% Hispanic 5.5% white/other

With around 300 murders so far, that means there are just 15 white victims.

And Chicago is approximately, 1/3 black, 1/3 hispanic, 1/3 White. The murder rate for whites in Chicago is approximately the same as it is in any part of the country.

Now liberal anti-gun folk, while bemoaning the tragedy of all those killed and wounded, would probably say the marksmanship was exemplary simply because the shooters didn’t shoot to kill but tried to wound without killing.

It’s the old ‘why dont the cops shoot the guns out of the hands of villains theory’ of stupid people who grew up watching the Lone Ranger do that.

villain: “Ow, my hand!”
Tonto: “Um. Good shot, Kemo Sabe.”

I never heard anyone say “shoot to wound.”
Poor weapons,weak tactics,or bad marksmanship.

Liberals say it all the time. The morons seem to think that a policeman in a shooting incident should never shoot to kill because they think it is easy to shoot to wound or disable instead.

I can only attribute these delusions to movies.
