(CNN)At least 49 people have been shot, including seven fatally, in incidents across Chicago this weekend, police said, continuing a trend of increased shootings and murders in the city.

Seven teenagers, all boys, were among those wounded in multiple shootings reported since Friday evening, police said.

One victim, a 24-year-old woman, was standing on the sidewalk in a residential area "when she heard shots (and) felt pain," police said in a statement. She went to Holy Cross Hospital with a gunshot wound to the left thigh and a gunshot wound to the buttocks. She is in fair condition, police said.

Demographic data about those that did the shooting and those that got shot would be helpful.

My, my, my.

New York City can assign 27 cops to guard graffiti in front of the Trump Tower. But Chicago can’t seem to do anything about double-digit shootings every weekend.

Just hood rats doing hood rat stuff. Really. Thats why it’s never a national concern. They’ll still be voting anyway.

This sound like a brigade level report of wounded and dead from the height or our war in Iraq.

Life in Chicago for a poor person of color = A fifteen year long string of weekends and holidays making up a perpetual Fallujah occupation.

This is from 2016, but the demographics likely have not changed much.

The “Hey Jackass” site updates that data daily (it doesn’t change much, and it’s pretty much what you’d expect): https://heyjackass.com

The BeetleJuice demon is quite disappointed and already working on trying to get those numbers back up for next weekend. It’s master, Satan, if NOT pleased when the numbers drop so low.

Now these poor folks should have the right to shoot anyone anytime. All this talk about that Kentucky couple not allowed to go out and spread the virus as they see fit should spill over here and allows the hood rats to shoot anyone anytime. It is their right of free expression.

"49 shot and 7 dead this weekend in Chicago"

Anyone remember the old Blatz beer commercial of yesteryear? Here's how it goes now....

I'm from Chicago and I ought to know
It's blasts, blasts, blasts wherever you go
More drilling, more killing, more chilling....it's clear
Chicago's south side is it's fave-o-rite bier !

Prosit !

Interesting stats on that website. One jumped out at me, the 2020 victim/perp analysis. 307 Black lives were lost, but only 29 Black assailants. Some of this may be from multiple shootings by a single gunman but I think what it really says is that Chicago police can’t even solve the crimes.

Right?

Yeah, they have a 10% clearance rate.

If someone offers to take you to Chicago for the weekend...
