At least 13 people have been shot in Chicago at the start of the long holiday weekend, including a woman killed as she sat on a porch near Garfield Park and a man slain in front of a hair salon on the South Side, police said.

...

The mother of the boy, Andrea Byes, said she is planning to move out of the two-flat where she lives with her children because of the violence, drug sales and loitering on the block.

"I'm not surprised something like this happened," said Byes, 40. "It was a matter of time. They're all over everywhere. . .These people are used to it. It's like an everyday normal thing, and it's sad that these children have to grow up thinking it's an everyday normal thing."

As I understand it (from something I read), Chicago residents can start purchasing guns in a couple of months.

I think we need some snipers there now to take out the trash.

and their solution is to disarm all the law-abiding folks.

the demo is 3% of the population doing 75% of the gun murders. deal’wth them and you deal with a huge chunk of gun murders.

libtards won’t b/c the 3% are black urban feral youts.

Norfolk, Virginia has them beat. Of course it isn’t common, usually there are only one or two a night for the entire Hampton Roads area.

Al Capone's Chicago was much safer than Rahm Emanuel's Chicago.

In Al Capone's Chicago you could legally buy a Thompson submachine gun for $225. By mail order.

Chart; A-Alcohol Prohibition, B-End of Prohibition, C-War on Drugs, D-9/11, etc.

Didn’t happen. Guns are illegal. So are drugs.

Chicago is the prototype liberal “Community Of Tomorrow” for the rest of the USA.

I don’t understand. Why doesn’t the city council just pass a law against murder? That would solve the problem.
