Murderous neighborhoods for Chitown - South side (Englewood primarily) and the West side (i.e., the “best side” Garfield Park and Austin primarily). although there’s plenty of action throughout both the South and West sides. North side is now starting to exhibit some of the same plague as the cops go more into “fetal position” and the gang bangers are emboldened now to roam all over. Bad, and getting worse. Don’t worry though, Obama was going to fix it all, remember?
We are now seeing the results of Obama trying to turn this country into the same chaos and internal warfare of his hometown Chicago.
Yee haw! Chicago thugs just chalked up another successful weekend.
Forget the statues....Remove the Democrat Party as it is the party of slavery, the KKK and suppression of civil rights. It is the party of the South that created the Civil War.
Yeah, but who cares about that? The important thing for the left is to go out there and tear down some more Confederate statues.
Those deaths don't matter unless a cop was involved with one of the deaths... or if a right-winger was within 500 feet...
Damn.....
I wonder if there will be tons and tons of Southside movies that are of the Tombstone OK Corral genre
"......go for it Chicago!...Odungo will be proud"
Pretty sure there were less shootings and killings when mobsters ran the city.
...armed midgets.
You are very right John, looks like the more we remove so-called racist items from America, the higher black crime in America rises.
We see Policemen being assassinated by African Americans, African American teens shooting each other at record rates, and almost 70% of all African American babies are aborted before their first breath of air is taken. Seems to me that the problem isn’t America’s white ancestors and their statues, but rather a culture destroyed by modern day Democrat liberalism gone amuck.
Sad, because when I was growing up, the black community was an example of pride as the divorce rate was lower than the white communities, and in most black communities the children had a better education then they are now that white liberals have come to their rescue.
No matter where you look in America, if things are going to hell in a hand-basket, you can track the genesis of the problems directly to some liberal program created to fix injustices. The only problem with those programs is that the final results are always worse then the original problem.
The Black areas in Chicago are the south and west sides.
By an extraordinary coincidence, the killings were all on the south and west sides.
How is there even anyone left to kill???
It’s Saturday night in Ballerina Man’s city. Mass terror hidden weekly. It’s ok to kill if you are Protected.
“What KIND of a man? A guy on the way home from work? A drug dealer? A gang-banger?”
Yes. Yes. And yes.
Statue’s fault!
I’m just know the lame-stream media is there with their mics stuck in Rahm’s face, demanding he answer for it and choose sides, right?
And I know someone has taken upon themselves to book the mothers of the dead and injured onto all the morning propaganda shows.
Just kidding.
You cant or tilt firearm to the right the bullets will go down and right. Poor marksmanship
Where’s the Mayor?
Don’t forget Roseland on the Far South Side and Humboldt Park - both are high crime areas - lots of gangs. I drove on 99th from Western to the i-57 ramp near Halsted last week - the area looked like a war zone. I was ready to run a red light to get out of there.
