Good grief, this is horrific. ABC News Chicago is reporting that over 60 people have been shot, with 9 killed, in Chicago just this weekend (Friday through Sunday).
(Chicago) Dozens of people were wounded in shootings across Chicago since Friday, police said. One paramedic described the evening as a war zone.
Since midnight, police said 43 people have been shot, six fatally. Since Friday at 5 p.m., 60 people have been shot, nine fatally, in shootings in Chicago.
34 of the shootings and five deaths occurred between 10 a.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday, according to police. During one two-and-a-half hour-hour period, 25 people were shot in five multi-injury shootings. (read more)
Twenty five people shot in two-and-a-half hours !
How can these neighborhoods even function?
Perhaps its time to call in the national guard?
Black on Black genocide and misery, the Dems sit idle.
This isnt something we can ignore. There are American families that are innocent bystanders. They cant leave their homes. I know its Chicago, I know its corrupt politicians, I dont care about that. What I DO care about is our fellow Americans who need help.
Im not kidding myself, I know good and well they will continue to vote in corrupt politicians, but we still have to do something to help them
And yet no sign of David Hogg
Maybe he should start a S. Chicago Guardian Angel chapter and walk the streets after midnight.
Chicagoans are apparently crappy shots.
And, of course, law abiding citizens have to be disarmed because criminals are shooting people.
You’re probably right. Not sure why gangs persist once they’re cleared out.....sounds like they just wait it out (scattered) then just regroup back where they were from to fight for their turf.
Chicago’s a democrat hellhole so the press goes out of their way NOT to be too tough on them.
Bias in one of it’s uglier forms...
9/60 = 15% fatality rate.
Chicago needs a midnight marksmanship program in the hood.
I guess we should all mind our own business.
There’s an expression “it’s a black thing.”
Darn tootin !
The Progressive goal for America is Chicago and Baltimore.
They must be stopped, curtailed, ended, at all costs.
We have lost the once great American cities and whst we have now are tributes to progressive rule by puppet black plantation hands
Thanks.
That is insane. Who in their right mind would move there?
Another once great city, destroyed.
Chicago = dog whistle, lol...
Those people CAN’T be reformed. At best, they can be IMPRISONED.
On the one hand, libs like Rahm Emanuel rail against the gang violence that plagues his city, on the other hand, libs are not willing to do ANYTHING that will prevent new foreign gangs from gaining a foothold in this country.
Yeah, and they call us stupid and crazy.
Thick, they call us thick...
I'm guessing these are not particularly skilled shooters. Experienced perhaps, but likely the kind of experience that reinforces bad habits. I'm guessing the typical hood rat is using a stolen firearm and their choice of ammo is probably whatever they can get their hands on so if pressed, I would have to wager a good number of the shootings are done w/ FMJ bullets which tend to be less lethal than higher priced expanding/frangible projectiles. Couple that with the fact that Chicago EMS and trauma personnel are probably some of the most experienced in the nation, probably accounts for the lower overall shot to killed ratio.
