As the song goes "Celebrate good times, come on! Let's celebrate, come on now."
"It took Chicago longer this year to reach 500 homicides than it did the last two years, when the grim milestone was reached in August as shootings rose at a pace not seen in the city since the 1990s, according to data from the Cook County medical examiner’s office."

Nice record Lightfoot has got going there.
A few more Lightfoot kind mayors in big black majority cities and there will be very few black men left in the country.

Lori can have a speech in front of a big crowd of supporters:
“On this conspicuous— or this auspicious— or whatever it is, we is done marking the 500th stiff to be trotted off daid. We is now number one. Remember, when y’all ya hear the gunfire, hit the ground.”

And that is supposed to be good?
Taking a few weeks longer to reach 500 murders in a relatively medium sized city like Chicago is good?
Why is Chicago even having more murders than New York which has three times the population of Chicago?

A guy gets shot to pieces and the city’s response is “yeah, but at least were have fewer homicides than last year, so far.” Of course, what can they really do in areas where civilization has collapsed?
I guess since 500 is a homicide milestone, he got his name mentioned. I noticed down the page an article about two Greater Grand Crossing men found shot — no names given.

Lori Lightfoot and David Brown are affirmative action / liberal vote getting disgraces.
Chicago needs to be burned to the ground (again) and start over.

Who do Lightfoot’s body counts stack up against the Capone and prohibition years?

Think about this. For nearly 80 years from the 1880’s through the 1960’s, a TOTAL of 2900 or so black men were lynched.
500 were killed by other blacks in a single year......in ONE CITY!
