Another man died after he was shot in the head in a possible drive-by Saturday night in the 7300-block of South Dorchester.
Among the other victims was Leetema Daniels, 17, who was shot in the head Friday night in the 400-block of North Central Avenue. Another 18-year old man was seriously wounded in the same shooting.

6 dead in Chicago is considered a good day..heck anything below 10 is considered an accomplishment
The body count in Chicago by 5:00 AM Tuesday will probably exceed the OK tornado toll of 24. Will Obama take a trip to the bullet-riddled streets of the hood that he “organized” to view the carnage? Of course not. He feels much better going to Red States where civilized people with common sense vote for competent Republicans.
You know, Grunt, you’re right. Rahm is the ballerinO and Barry is the ballerina. (pitcher/catcher).
Come on, Rahm, you Democrats are supposed to be geniuses and have all the answers.
Are all shipments going to Homeland Security and Chicago?
It’s a good thing they don’t have a Chik-Fil-A....who knows what the violence level would be at. /s
Detroit is kind of a special case, because it had a huge exodus of good citizens, leaving it in a position of collapse. Chicago is going to need a giant bucket of popcorn.
The Afghanistan/Pakistan border is safer than the streets of Chicago.
back around 1966 i thought Saigon was safer than chi town

IIRC, Obumbo’s house was on the southwest side.
I do know that one of his best friends and neighbor was
Bill Ayers, the Pentagon bomber.
It is said that Ayers helped to finance Obama’s house.
Obama lived on the southEAST side in the hoity toity “liberal” 5th ward all near the U of I campus. The southwest side is where Midway airport is located not the Midway Campus, which is 12 miles east of the airport
Thank Me.
Of course you meant the U of Chicago campus.
One of the shootings occurred just a bit west of 52nd and Stony - less than a half-mile from Tony Rezko’s bribe-site . . . erhh, I mean BO’s Kenwood estate.
“Obama lived on the southEAST side”
______________________________________
Well, east or west is immaterial to my point of
his association with Ayers.
Even though I had an Uncle living in Western Springs, and
having landed my plane at Lakefront one time, I did not travel there frequently enough to become a frequent visitor.
I have been there maybe six times, and not at all in the last
25 years.

If only Chicago had gun control. /s
Thanks NoLibZone.
dems will love it secretly.
law abiding people will take out the criminals.
dems then get a cleaner city with less crime, take the credit, and play the race card.
Another man died after he was shot in the head in a possible drive-by
Among the other victims was Leetema Daniels, 17, who was shot in the head Friday night Another 18-year old man was seriously wounded in the same shooting.
Finally, the animals have learned to shoot straight. Maybe there won't be too many more 2 year olds shot in their cribs on the second floor.

Your right on both. Actually there’s a slew of engineering and social study colleges there along with the University of Chicago. The serious problem areas are pockets slightly west and south of the campus area on the southeast and pockets near north and west sides.
Odd how those strict gun control laws aren’t working for Chicago - guess the solution is to do more of the same - more gun control - more stupidity...hoping for a different outcome...
