Three men were killed and at least 16 others wounded during a violent nine-hour spree of shootings across the city that began late Tuesday afternoon.
The spike in violence occurred as temperatures climbed into the 80s and the city basked in the warmest weather yet this year. It also coincided with an announcement by police that the city’s troubling murder statistics were down 42 percent when compared to the same period of time last year.

Exactly the correct question.
Short answer: no. Longer answer - racial tension is higher in Chicago than it is in most big cities, and minorities are very suspicious of anything that could even facilitate any kind of profiling. There may even have been stop-and-frisk laws in the past in Chicago that were thrown out by judges.
But things have gotten so bad that even the lefty Tribune has raised the question, by a black woman no less:
Well, sure -- when you consider the late winter and early spring have been markedly colder than last year. When the temps rise, the gangbangers get itchy to do some killin'.
It is so funny, the headline alone was enough to know it was in Chicago without even looking at the source. As usual before reading the details of exactly where it occurred in Chicago, I can already assume it is the usual suspects, the Amish.
Only 3..thats considered a good night in Chicago..but how could this be..Chicago has the strictest gun control laws in the country..I guess Rahmbo Dead Fish Emmanuel missed a few gang bangers in their sweeping confiscation of guns..but no biggie..after all according to Jay Carney..what happened last night was “Such a long time ago” no big deal
“The spike in violence occurred as temperatures climbed into the 80s and the city basked in the warmest weather yet this year.”
OMG... it’s GLOBAL WARMING!!! Gore was right!! GORE WAS RIGHT!!
Perhaps there is something in the sunblock that is making these otherwise fine boys and girls act out.
Let’s all guess the race of these folks.
80’s be good killin weather.
Summertime is a comin, gonna be a hot time in the city.....
They’re not going to do a thing. It’s part of their ‘agenda’, just as it is for 50% of the black population to be aborted in the womb.
This is unacceptable. We simply must try harder to get those stats up where they belong. 3KIA and 16 Wounded! Pathetic. Pass out more ammo. Janet's got plenty.
This performance is not up to Windy City standards. Let's end this gangbanger sideways grip nonsense and get back to basics, we want results!
Many thanks for the link..the lady is smart...ya think the GOP needs someone to run for a city council seat?
It’s a week day. They’ll do better on the weekend.
