CHICAGO (FOX 32/Sun-Times Media Wire) - Seven people were wounded in a mass shooting Sunday as they gathered in Douglas Park on the West Side.

About 1:20 a.m., they were standing in the park in the 2900 block of West Roosevelt Road when someone opened fire from a black Camaro, Chicago police said.

A 21-year-old man was hit in the groin and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition, police said. A woman, 25, was struck in the arm, leg and taken to the same hospital where her condition was stabilized

Liberals don’t want to take guns from those people. Only from non violent citizens.

2900 West Roosevelt? That would be part of the "media black out" area in the bad parts of Chicago. The parts where the media does not go to investigate, but will flock to when a community organizer holds a rally to raise funding.

Hey, the bad stuff can't all happen along Martin Luther King Drive. Chicago is a big city, after all.

Wow. Interesting how many mass shootings they are willing to provide to get Epstein and his democrat and RINO clients off the front page.

I say kudos to this fox station for calling it a mass shooting.

Oddly enough though, when posting to twitter, the word ‘mass’ doesn’t show, even though that word is used in the ‘meta’ title which is what SHOULD be used when posting a link to sites like twitter/facebook/reddit etc. On sites like that, posting a link, pulls in the title, excerpt and a pic if there is one.

Here it is with the html <> brackets removed

meta property=”og:title” content=”7 wounded in mass shooting near Chicago playground”

That tells me twitter is playing a little game with their algorithm

if
title contains “mass” + “shooting” + “chicago”
then
remove “mass”

I was thinking Trump & Baltimore. Epstein is going to drag out for a couple of years anyway. Next court case is set for June 2020.

But was it inspired by The Lorax?

“The parts where the media does not go to investigate, but will flock to when a community organizer holds a rally to raise funding.”

To be fair, they don’t investigate because they don’t want to get shot, carjacked, or their stuff stolen. Most, but not all liberals still have a sense of self preservation. And all of those community rallies are always scheduled during the day with a crowd of Important People (=police presence). And, it’s not like anyone has to take time off from work...
