On the same weekend were 29 people were killed in two separate mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, the city of Chicago is reeling after 25 people were shot in several incidents over a four-hour span early Sunday morning.
The first shooting, which took place at approximately 1:20 a.m. on Sunday morning, sent a total of seven people to local hospitals. (snip)
During the shooting, an unknown gunman in a black Camaro drove by a group of people congregating near a playground in the city’s Douglas Park neighborhood and opened fire. Several people in the group returned fire at the car, which fled the scene.
Police believe that nearly 75 shots were fired during the incident, with at least four or five people firing weapons.
Just over an hour later, two more victims were shot in the 1200 block of South Troy, (snip)
At approximately 3:45 a.m., eight more people were shot in the 4200 block of West 18th in Chicago’s Lawndale neighborhood. A 33-year-old man, identified by family members as Demetrius Flowers,(snip)
Flowers was described as a family man, a father of three who was on his way home from a new job when he stopped to visit with friends in the Lawndale neighborhood, according to relatives. That’s when shots rang out, striking him in the chest.(snip)
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson is directing more patrols to take place in the area to quell the surge in violence.
“Here in Chicago, we experienced an unacceptable and disheartening level of violence on the West Side last night,” he said.

F’n White Nationalists!
Global warming.
Anyone blaming Black Terrorism or Black Crime for these shootings?
bttt
Sh!tcago is one continuous mass shooting, and it’s not whitey committing the murders and mayhem.
No hysterical howls from hollywood?
Liberal population control. Abortion before birth then at the end of a gun barrel.
Just like Nazi Germany.
With 25 people shot and no one dead how in the hell do they ever expect to get the gun violence in Chicago under control?
Personally I think it’s time Chicago starts to pony up with soon free range time for potential hoods, could you imagine if they just killed their targets outright the savings in medical cost would be substantial compared to a little free range time.
The moment you hear every life matters you can be assured the same BS will continue unabated.
Doesn’t Chicago have a brand new maya?
Trumps fault just like it was his fault in Texas but not the latest one in since the shooter was a Democrat voter.
Chi-Congo was once a beautiful safe city. I could take the train downtown from our Western suburb, walk several blocks across the Loop to my Dentist on Michigan Blvd, then walk back toward the station and meet my dad, take the train home with him. I was...14, 15, 16...I still love Chicago, but just the memories. Bloody sad at the Crime Capitol it’s become. And furious.
Some white fella’s been selling guns and booz to them Injuns again!!!
“Chi-Congo was once a beautiful safe city.”
It was certainly better, but it has had problems for a long time. Grew up on the southside, and grew up fighting. At first there weren’t guns, but they came later.
“Doesn’t Chicago have a brand new maya?”
Yes. New Police Superintendent, too.
But it’s Chicago. So... nothing’s going to change.
Barn door...horses...too late...
It's Chicago. You can't scare white suburban women/voters with deaths on the South Side of Chicago...
There are at least three ‘mass shootings’ every day and 90% of the shooters are black males...
Which brings to mind, exactly what level of violence is acceptable?
