It was a night of exceptionally heavy violence on a warm summer-like night in Chicago.

Six people were killed and at least 11 others were wounded across the South Side in an area stretching from the Back of the Yards neighborhood to the Calumet Heights neighborhood to the Morgan Park neighborhood. There were no arrests in any of the shootings.

Six or seven people who'll have votes attributed to them in favor of the Dem machine in the upcoming election(s).

They prefer the dead voters. They know how they will vote.

“warm summer-like night”

Ya. When I was a kid the annual first night of really warm weather brought everybody out on the streets and with that the obligatory Bravo Sierra that went with it.

Obviously this story can't be right. Chicago has Obama/Brady/Daley "reasonable"* gun control. Therefore criminals don't have guns there, and crimes like this just can't happen. Everyone knows that criminals who are going to shoot someone will look at the gun control laws and throw their guns away or turn them in to the police.

*"Reasonable" in this context means a total prohibition on gun possession by anyone except government bureaucrats ie JBTs.

But I thought the Community Organizer Extraordinaire had fixed all the problems in Chicago before moving on to share his superior insights and experience with the rest of the nation...and the world?

You mean nothings really different in Chicago from before our Dear Leader blessed them with his presence?

The only entities to be armed in the Obama/Pesoli/Reid/Democratic utopia are the government’s Jack Booted Thugs (ie JBTs) The better to keep the rest of us in line if they don’t have to worry about getting shot.

Nah, he’s got Mexican Congressmen in Chicago doing that now.

It was because of the warmer than expected weather. No air conditioning made it uncomfortable to watch Otherwise, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. Gore/Biden in 2016. /sarc.

If you think Thursday was fun just wait for the Friday Night Firefight. Murders in the city proper are so common that unless they actually have video of the shooting they don’t bother reporting them any more.

And, the results of one of the most gun-controlling cities in the U.S. A prime example of “when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.”

15 murdered and 20 shot in the last 72hours. Thinning the herd.
