Nine people were shot, two of whom died, in a chaotic scene outside a McDonald's on Chicago's Near North Side Thursday. Police said they have arrested a suspect.

A dispute broke out between two groups at approximately 10:41 p.m. eventually leading one individual to fire shots into the crowd, Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown told reporters at a press conference Friday.

Police do not know what caused the fight, Brown said.

Officers pursued the suspect into a Chicago Transit Authority train stop and arrested a suspect as well as a person who Brown said obstructed the officers.

I wish these minority yutes would livestream it with enough advance notice to place some Online Bets and get a couple drinks before the festivities begin

That was once a wonderful, safe neighborhood. Nice shops, restaurants, lovely apartments. One of the better Chicago hoods. When we were older teenagers, we were allowed to leave our safe suburb and drive down there to visit some of the clubs. Saw Stan Kenton there with a few friends, including very wealthy girl whose grandfather founded General Motors.

Big sigh.

White supremacists vs. a group of elderly grandmothers returning from Bible study.

“Police do not know what caused the fight,”

Uhhh, how about people milling around and not having jobs? People whose value system the democrats grabbed and threw away?
People who are not made to face the consequences of their actions?

If the police could read this, they would know.

(Actually they do know, but they aren’t allowed to say what it is).

The sad thing about all of this is that we pretty well can guess about the “things unsaid” by our demonstrably corrupt and “lying by non-mention” press.

All the key words are there: groups, individual, suspect.
Had it been a cracker, we’d have known it.

I rate Chicago as slightly better than a trip to Kyiv.

It's Fallujah on a lake - with better Pizza & Hot Dogs...

going to a McDonalds at night in a poor area is riskier than prison!

From the article: “”If the person who did this doesn’t have a gun, this is just a personal conflict that may or may not lead to fights, [but] no one being killed,” Brown said.”

The implication being they would like to disarm everyone. Great! Make all firearms illegal. Because someone prepared to commit a felony and kill someone will obviously be deterred by an illegal weapons charge... ;-/

For any lib lurkers out there - that was sarcasm. Criminals are going to commit crimes. More laws will not change that.

“I saw a general interest piece on the news promoting summer travel. Chicago was one of the destinations they were promoting. I thought to myself, not very likely. I rate Chicago as slightly better than a trip to Kyiv.”


Chicago is out? Chicago is out!?!

Hasn't there been a push to stop adding charges to crimes committed with guns because it is "racist" to do so?

Two feuding groups of Amish ‘Yutes’ on Rumspringa?

FLASH:

Chicago police have issued a nationwide BOLO and are actively seeking a group of old white guys identified by Mayor Groot as suspects in the shooting. They were last seen wearing MAGA hats as they fled the scene of the shooting in an old red Chevrolet pickup with Florida plates and multiple “Trump 2024” and “Let’s Go Brandon” bumper stickers.

Well, the south side of Chicago
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there
You better just beware
Of a man name of Leroy Brown

Now Leroy more than trouble
You see he stand ‘bout six foot four
All those downtown ladies call him “Treetop Lover”
All the men just call him “Sir”

So, someone was ‘disrespected’ maybe? ;)

Nothing good happens in Chicago after 7:00AM.

Or before...
