At least 33 people have been shot in Chicago so far this Fourth of July weekend, most of them in traditionally violent neighborhoods on the South and West sides despite stepped-up police patrols in those areas.

Between Sunday afternoon and early Monday, 13 people were shot over 17 hours in the city. They included a 15-year-old boy shot in the foot, a 16-year-old hit in the elbow, a 17-year-old wounded in the thigh, and a woman hit in the chest by a bullet fired through the window of a home.

The only reason chicago is called the “windy city” is because of the sounds the wind makes when blowing through holes in bodies.

gun control laws leave regular law-abiding citizens defenseless against Moslem invaders and terrorists and even regular street gangs

the people of ChiTown are being SoldOut by their crooked political hacks

get yourself equipped to defend yourself and your neighborhoods... and crime will go way down....

I used to track the Chicago shootings on “Red Eye”, but they stopped updating their website. My son told me about the “Heyjackass” site which is up to date.

LOL. Our family lived out in Arlington Heights from ‘55-’67, and only the south side was a ‘no go’ area back then. That place is increasingly like Iraq, on the weekends and holidays.

I know they can make 76. This is the Fourth, after all.
I am rooting for them. I would be disappointed if they do less. Come on Obama voters, get up off your lazy butts, drink down that 40 ouncer, and grab your Hi-Point. There's street creds to be had! I am sure someone has dissed you.

They are missing their community organizer - it’s mass confusion without his esteemed presence. Hang in there, Chicago....he’ll be back (but not) soon enough.

Heyjackass.com is the best source for all things criminal.

Check out www.secondcitycop.blogspot.com. This is a Chicago cop blog where you get all the poop on what is happening, or not, and why. Rahm Emanuel recently made a sweep of known gang thugs and rounded up a good number of them. That's why the bad guys death total is lower than usual for the July 4th week.

Don’t need a hunting camp either, Detroit has twice as many whitetail deer as people.

Well they aren’t gays nor are they “pretty white people”, so FR is likely the only place anyone is reading this.
