I think the author meant to say “stabbed”, not shot. Guns are illegal in Chicago..../sarc

Imagine how high that number would be if guns weren’t outlawed!

I would bet my last dollar that Mayor Daley himself owns a handgun...but no way he would allow anyone else to won one.

A not-too-uncommon occurrance in cities with a low regard for personal responsibility and a high regard for human trash. All the anti-gun ‘sing alongs’ soon to follow.

Is the press keeping a record of the Chicago death toll, like they did for Iraq (but they only did that when Bush was in office).

Well said.
The “Great Society” has reached its ultimate end.
Total breakdown of the black family, and chaotic loss of moral compass.

Community organizing is about sucking taxpayer money for liberal causes.
Sad that one of the top enablers was elected President.

I would be that he doesn't. He owns a taxpayer funded security detail of police who guard him 24/7 and THEY have guns.

How, oh HOW, could this have happened?
