Four people were killed and at least 9 wounded in overnight shootings on Chicago's South and West Sides.

The violence began about 9:24 p.m. in the Lawndale neighborhood when a 19-year-old was fatally shot in the 1400 block of South Trumbull Avenue.

A minute later at 9:25 p.m. in the West Garfield Park neighborhood, a 23-year-old man was shot and killed in the 300 block of South Kilpatrick Avenue.

Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm Rahm Israel Emanuel is going to be really, really, really, really superduper mad now.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Thank God Chicago only allows criminals to carry guns or things could get really bad there.

All reporters need to do is change the date on the article. Afghanistan safer than Chicago?

[Recon Dad]

Gun free zone in action!

[ConservativeStatement]

Chicago is a city a high rate of liberals who shoot and murder themselves. Liberals don’t respect life.

[PLD]

Live by the sword and die by the sword..Hear that Barack Obama or what ever your real name is..

[jospehm20]

That is what I was thinking. I am in Baghdad and probably have a smaller likelyhood of violent injury or death than a citizen of Chicago.

Gun free zone in action!

Could also read

Democrat party and "their people" in action.

FUBO & FAD

[papageo]

But Rahm said it was not going to happen. Makes one want to cry.

[cripplecreek]

The shining capitol of the midwest.

[Zakeet]

This story can't possibly be true!

I know because I just saw this: [Rahm] Emanuel confident police will keep city safe, and we all know that politicians never lie and the press never gets their facts wrong.

So there!

[ConservativeStatement]

Liberals are naive. To this day, I still see bumper stickers on autos that read “World peace 1.20.09.” Commom sense would dictate that the drivers remove those stickers. It is pure ignorance.

Obama voters killing themselves

[ConservativeStatement]

^ Common (sorry, typo).

[mardi59]

Another BBQ get together gone awry.

[ilovesarah2012]

Well, stay safe and when you get home, stay out of Chicago!

[ilovesarah2012]

Doesn’t matter. They can still vote after they are dead.

[ConservativeStatement]

Budget cuts by Republicans. Otherwise, these kids would be in libraries.

[Kenton]

Ah, more creative destruction. I guess Rahm's determined to turn Chicago into Detroit, much as the place that used to be Detroit has turned into Mogadishu...

I guess ya gotta jump-start the chaos in order for the new progressive revolution to start.

[cripplecreek]

Id rather wander the streets of Detroit in a blackout than the streets of Chicago under the lights these days.
