Nearly 40 Shot In 3 Days In Chicago
OANN ^ | May 4, 2018

Posted on 05/06/2018 10:55:33 AM PDT by EdnaMode

New reports reveal a deadly wave of gun violence in Chicago. A 15-year old boy, a young mother, and even a four-year-old girl sitting on her porch have all been shot dead.

These are just a few of the nearly 40 people who were gunned down in Chicago over a mere three-day period this week.

This level of violence is usually not seen until the middle of summer in Chicago, but as temperatures reached into the 80’s this week criminals were drawn into the streets.

On Monday, one person was shot dead and nine others were wounded. A day later, 12 people were hit by gunfire in a 12-hour period.

However, Wednesday was the worst of all with at least 14 people shot in just nine-hours. This included a 15-year-old boy who was shot in the head while riding the bus home from school.

>>The nation cannot survive in its present form with so many of our cities becoming killing zones.<<

Depends on who’s being killed. If those being killed are killers, there would seem to be a good side to this carnage.

Agree with you completely, so please don’t flame me for being “picky”, but “gun nuts” has a rather derogatory ring to it.

Chicago makes the fanatical muslims look bad. Especially considering we are talking about Allah.

>>My two sisters are visiting Chicago from Michigan. I’ll be glad when they return by Monday, hopefully unharmed.
I started to mention the high crime rate in Chicago, but if they still ‘don’t know’, then they just don’t want to know. I won’t be the one to rain on their parade. I am usually too blunt with my opinions.<<

I almost never see this point mentioned but, if memory serves, there are many areas of Chicago that are actually quite free of criminals and violent crime. But like Baltimore and many other cities, there are certain high-crime areas where no one should ever go.

Boycott leftists.

I know, I mean whenever practical. Unless you live in a log cabin in rural Michigan like my late great uncle used to, it can’t be done.

But let’s have fun trying.

“No Whitey anywhere around that they can blame.”

...and therfore, not newsworthy.

If this sh** was happening in WHITE neighborhoods, they wouldn’t call out the national guard, the Governor would call the President for the army.

Bill O’Reilly had pointed out that mayors line Rahm are the worst racists of all for tolerating this.

“I almost never see this point mentioned but, if memory serves, there are many areas of Chicago that are actually quite free of criminals and violent crime. But like Baltimore and many other cities, there are certain high-crime areas where no one should ever go.”

But those areas that are safe are getting smaller. Basically, anything south of North avenue in Chicago is “iffy”. 40 years ago, there were perfectly “good” neighborhoods, black and white, on the south side.

“Depends on who’s being killed. If those being killed are killers, there would seem to be a good side to this carnage.“

Unfortunalely, it’s sometimes a four year old girl on a porch.

“Who’s paying the hospital bills?“

I know! I know! Taxpayers. And the reason even more aren’t dead is because the docs at Stroger are probably better than battlefield doctors who learned their skills in Iraq on GSW’s.
