Only six killed? Frankly, that’s half the amount of a normal summer weekend in Chicago. Holidays are even higher than that.

I think it should be considered an improvement.

People are at home. The ones that want to kill their families have already done it, so for now the others will have to wait.

Can we please have a Monday thru Friday tally, so we can add it to the weekend for a COMPLETE WEEK TOTAL? I have no idea why they count the weekend shootings only.

"40 shot, 6 killed, in Mayor Lori Lightfoot's Chicago"

Or, as the MSM would put it: "40 shot, 6 killed in Trump's America."

Subject: war on gangs.
why not print this up and circulate it in your precinct Because the MSM and the Social media are spiking this

As a Nation, we must band together in the fight against criminal gangs that threaten our democracy and terrorize our children, families, and communities. National Gang Violence Prevention Week is a time to reflect on the honorable service of our heroes in law enforcement and dedicate ourselves to doing all that we can to prevent criminal gangs from infiltrating our communities with violence and crime. We will not rest until we have removed the scourge of gangs and transnational criminal organizations from our country.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week of September 20 through September 26, 2020, as “National Gang Violence Prevention Week.” I call upon the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth.

If Mayor Lightfoot were to demand NRA firearms training for all citizens, there wouldn’t be so many woundings.......These thugs need to learn how to shoot straight.

"Nearly 40 Shot, 6 Killed..."

Define "nearly"...
Somewhere between 1 & 300?

Slow weekend.

People must be tapped out.

Welfare checks don't come until the first of the month, I think.
