Six men were killed and at least 39 other people have been wounded in shootings across the city over Mother’s Day weekend.

The latest homicide happened Sunday morning in the Park Manor neighborhood on the South Side.

Kourtney Young, 21, suffered multiple gunshot wounds about 8:45 a.m. in the 7600 block of South Prairie and was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 9:35 a.m., according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Young lived in the 7300 block of South King Drive, authorities said. Police did not immediately have details on the circumstances of the shooting.

Earlier Sunday, a 35-year-old man was shot to death while riding in a car on Lake Shore Drive on the North Side.

children aren’t born in Chicago, they are sentenced to (attempt to) live in Chicago.

There was a thread on here a while back that was naming the companies that were leaving this area...

After seeing the riots that night Trump was to have a rally, I can understand why...

But look who the Mayor is...should explain a lot...

Baraq’s 12 years of community organizing on the Chitown south side continue to pay dividends!

I pity the poor people who want to move away but can’t afford to and will be stuck there their whole life or become another crime statistic.

Multiple generations of dimocrat rule have made chiraq the 3rd world city it has become.

Something else I am reminded of, since I also have lost a child:

“When Mothers lose a child, God will help her get through the pain by remembering the memories”

“Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short time, but their hearts forever”

And this is one of the LESS carnage-ridden weekends of Chicago. Normally not much is said about wounded, only about killed.

Well if they ever need battlefield hospital expertise, ask the Chicago hospitals.

True... normally we only hear the killing quota, but now we are hearing the wounded quota, and not yet the failed attack quota.

Probably one of the very few US populations that would consider moving to Detroit or Philadelphia a move up!

Now we’re getting somewhere. Add a little heat to the mix and maybe we can get the death toll over 20 on any given summer weekend. The more these ferals cull each other out the better.

Kind of reminds me of the person who heard the news that a ‘dollar store’ was coming to the neighborhood.

Her reactions was...I am sure glad, I like Walmart and all but you don’t have to get all dressed up to go to the Dollar Store...

(Oh yes, Dollar General is NOT the ‘Dollar store’)

Funny (not really) that all the cities that get their shorts in a bunch are the ones that won’t let me carry.
(Well by law I can’t carry).
