Nineteen people were shot in attacks across the South and West sides between about 5:20 p.m. Thursday and 1:30 a.m. Friday - including 13 people during a single 30-minute period - according to the Chicago Police Department.

The shootings peaked between about 9:15 and 9:45 p.m. Thursday when 13 people were shot, including eight in a single incident at 79th Street and Essex Avenue about 9:30 p.m.

Police are still trying to sort out that shooting, the second of three incidents that left multiple people wounded since 8 p.m.

I’m so glad Dead Fish took over as mayor of the Windy City so that things could finally be straightened out.

They beef up the police patrols on the weekends, so they had to start the parties on Thursday nights.

Makes sense.

19 only wounded. Bad shots. They need to open a pratice range.
P.S. Send more ammo

Gun Control.

Lucky for Chicago, they had a very famous “Community Organizer” whose task was to rid that city of violence.

He is now President.
Amazing how some spectacular failures can be promoted from one catastrophic failure to another. Hopefully, this ends in November.

It’s all part of a master plan. F&F didn’t work out for Obama/Holder, so they instructed Rahmbo to allow the gang violence in Chicagoland to spike so as to create a sense of a crisis.

Remember, never let a good crisis go to waste...

Isn’t 19 Louis Farrakhan’s mysterious number in his conspiracy theories? That’s the answer then. White people are responsible for these shootings.

CHICAGO MAYOR RAHM EMANUEL SPOKE OUT ABOUT "CHICAGO VALUES" wrt the recent Chick-Fil-a controversy......

Mayor Rahm danced into the controversy after Alderman Proco Joe Moreno (1st ward) had publicly announced his opposition to Chick-Fil-A opening in his ward.

Mayor Rham chuckled while doing a plie: "It's easy to do business in Chicago when you know 'the rules.' Chick-Fil-A can open in our town as long as it adopts 'Chicago Values.' "

(1) weekly cash pay off to the alderman;

(2) hire six of the alderman's friends who work only random days of the month,

(3) BIG AL from the Mayor's office picks up all cash in brown paper bags at CFA's back door,

(4) Chick Fil A staff trained to shoot 10-12 customers per month,

(5) Any CFA customers actually killed must be registered to vote as Democrats,

(6) $100,00 campaign contribution to Obama,

(7) Free food to Jesse Jackson, Jr, who is now "convalescing," b/c he screwed up buying Obama's Senate seat.

Chicago - It’s a Toddlin’ Town.

Working hard to alleviate the over-population problem.

More people have died in Chicago this year than in Afghanistan

Is there an article on that?

This is all happening in Chicago, where it is illegal to carry a gun. Think of how horrific it must be in states where concealed and open carry are perfectly legal. In states like New Hampshire, the dead must be stacked up like cordwood.

Oh wait, never mind

They use the "L" loosely. They put the "sans L" on a full mast.

19 people shot (none by Chicago PD) in about 8 hours on a weeknight. Proof positive that marksmanship classes in the gummint skewels and an ammunition stamps program are desperately needed in Chicago.
