CHICAGO -- Nine juveniles are among at least 52 people shot, 11 fatally, in Chicago gun violence so far this weekend, police said.

Five people were shot, three fatally, after a caravan involving about 100 cars on the Southwest Side, Chicago police said. The shooting happened in the Brighton Park neighborhood's 4300-block of South Kedzie Avenue at about 4 a.m. on Sunday, police said.

Two people were seriously wounded in a drive-by shooting Sunday night in Brighton Park on the Southwest Side. A man, 29, and a 40-year-old woman were near a sidewalk about 7:45 p.m. in the 2400-block of West 43rd Street when someone drove up in a car and an occupant began shooting, Chicago police said.

This weekend has been particularly violent for juveniles in Chicago.

A 16-year-old boy was killed and a 13-year-old girl wounded in a shooting Saturday night near South Fairfield and South Washtenaw avenues in Lawndale on Chicago's West Side, according to Chicago police. Police say two males got out of a car and shot the victims.

A 14-year-old boy was also grazed by gunfire Saturday night at a playground in the West Garfield Park neighborhood. The teen suffered a graze wound to the face about 7 p.m. while in the 4400-block of West Wilcox Street, Chicago police said.

Friday night was also violent evening for Chicago's youth.

A 12-year-old boy is still in serious condition after he was shot on the West Side Friday night. Someone inside a gray sedan opened fire, striking the boy in the chest near South Albany Avenue and West Arthington Street in Lawndale at about 8:35 p.m.

Friday night was also violent evening for Chicago's youth.

It’s really sad to see these numbers adding up, week after week.

I wonder if local officials, such as the mayor, have anything to say about these tragic incidents. I wonder if she has ever had any reactions to this ongoing violence in her city.

You’d think at some point they would completely cull themselves.

I believe she has. It is all due to the easy access to guns in Indiana.

And because guns are so easy to access in Indians, the crime levels there are much, much higher than in Chicago. Oh, wait...

Three guesses as to race of these people.
First two don’t count.
Democrat LBJ must be proud of himself.
What is really sick, is this culture continues to vote for the party of LBJ.
They really are idiots!
Perhaps they deserve their fates?

“Nine juveniles are among at least 52 people shot, 11 fatally, in Chicago gun violence so far this weekend”

This looks on the high side. iirc the record is 15-16-17 killed on a Chicago weekend. But if it was a three day weekend, it should get an asterisk. Same as Roger Maris got for 61 home runs.

Heavy Duty Country showed a video of fully identifiable black 8th graders showing off their Glocks with full auto “switches”.
The ATF isn’t going after them, but is going after law abiding gun owners that bought legal forced reset and binary triggers and solvent traps that the ATF, arbitrarily, decided are, now, illegal.
Same thing they’re planning to do with AR pistols.

It’s simple....their birth rate surpasses the death rate..no shortages.
If culling that segment of the population was important, rendering EBT cards unusable would be a logical step. Ugly at first, but not for long.

It must be Trump. He’s always in the news and it’s driving people crazy to hear about him all the time. At some point something’s gotta give. The youngsters are just expressing their frustrations over the bad orange man who just won’t go away!

Isn’t it amazing, 52 people shot in one weekend in an American city and it barely gets noticed. Just wow.

But let one white person shoot a black person, and it's the top story for days.
