Seven people were killed and 39 were wounded in weekend shootings across Chicago, doubling the number of people shot over the previous weekend.

Gun violence over the weekend, which began 5 p.m. Friday and ended 5 a.m. Monday, left one person shot Friday, 21 people shot Saturday, 16 on Sunday, and six people shot Monday morning.

A mass shooting Saturday night left one person dead and six others wounded on the West Side. About 9:40 p.m., seven men were gathered at a park bench in the 3100 block of West Fulton when several people approached them and opened fire, Chicago Police said.

This type of coverage is a form of racism by the media.

They don’t report this nationally, because this not only does not fit their template, it is “expected” from the black community in Chicago.


Proving Mayor fancypanties is a RACIST. Or why else doesn’t he think it’s a problem worth trying to fix?? (Either way: either he feels such low expectations from his AA neighborhoods that it can’t be improved upon OR the AA victims don’t matter as much to his effeminate honor as the crime victims in the whiter parts of his fair town)

I can see that all is going well with “DEAD FISH” IN CHARGE, I say that with a lot of sarcasm. There is another one that should be in GITMO.

Where’s Schumky, Cummings, Jackson Lee, Piglosi, Biden, Pencil Neck, Madd Aunt Maxine, et al.? They must be too busy wringing their hands over illegals and Russians?

Emergency physicians in Chicago have got to be - hands down - the nations’ best at removing bullets from people. Lord knows they get enough practice.

Bangs head on desk. When I first read the headline ‘44 shot, 7 killed’ my first thought was the dems will be screaming.. then I noticed it was over the weekend in Chicago and decided no they won’t.

They don’t want to hurt their relatives or the children of relatives and friends.

Gun violence over the weekend, which began 5 p.m. Friday and ended 5 a.m. Monday, left one person shot Friday, 21 people shot Saturday, 16 on Sunday, and six people shot Monday morning.

The media have really leaped on that phrase "Gun violence," haven't they? The real term is "Gang violence." Plenty of folks own guns in my home town, but no shootings, because we have no gangs.

Those once precious darlings are hardened criminals who not only prey upon them and their neighbors, they also do their darndest to recruit more of ther family into often much shorter lives of crime with them. Lives full of violence and depravity.

If their families “protect” them then they share responsibility in all the harm that they do. They are arguably paying the price even now. The people of Benjamin once protected their home grown over the top offenders too.

Revival would be infinitely preferable than turning against them and putting them down, that’s true; but, will we see enough Johnathan Edwardses or Prophets Nathan (”you are the man”) coming out of a community if every victimizer thinks they’re the victims?
