Eight people were killed and at least 43 others were wounded in shootings across Chicago between Friday evening and Monday morning, including a west suburban man fatally shot on a sidewalk near Millennium Park.

The downtown killing happened about 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Monroe Street in the Loop, where 54-year-old Peter Fabbri was walking with two other people when he got into an argument with another male, who pulled out a gun and shot him in the head, according to Chicago police. The shooter took off on a bicycle but was arrested nearby, police said. Detectives were still questioning him Sunday.

I still don’t understand why Chicago is not on the ten most dangerous cities list.

My approach to this kind of thing is to be engaged in civil indifference. Hey, at least it’s legal. Victims? What victims?

Michigan and Monroe is in the heart of downtown Chicago; a few more of these types of incidents and the Second City will start losing tourists and people from the burbs who come downtown to shop, attend the theater and go to dinner.

Not to worry the survivors will be protected by social justice, oh wait there were no white people involved? especially white cops?. Well black on black is not an issue because black thug lives matter only when they are shot by white cops or white people

If I had the resources, I would start a counter where I would tally the difference in violent deaths in Chicago contrasted with that of Detroit. For instance Chicago 8-43/Detroit 3-15.

Maybe Obama ordered that it not be listed like that. Who knows?

Someone just pulls out a gun and shoots a man in the head. Amazing. Then I guess he put it back in his pocket and walked away.
