Eight people were shot Monday in Chicago, including a 44-year-old man who was shot inside a vehicle in Chatham on the South Side.

About 11:15 p.m., he was sitting in his parked car with another person when he was shot in the shoulder and twice in the back, Chicago police said.

A man was wounded in a shooting in Woodlawn on the South Side. He was on the street about 6:45 p.m. in the 6100 block of South Rhodes Avenue when someone opened fire, striking him in the shoulder, police said.

Minutes prior, a 19-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy were shot in Englewood on the South Side. They were inside an Acura about 6:30 p.m. in the 5900 block of South Normal Boulevard, when someone opened fire, police said.

About an hour prior, a man was wounded in a shooting in Chatham on the South Side. He was on the sidewalk about 5:15 p.m. in the 8600 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue when someone opened fire, police said.

A 22-year-old man was shot on the West Side. He was on a sidewalk about 4:55 p.m. in the 4700 block of West Huron Street when he heard shots and felt pain, police said.

Witnesses to the shooting have not been cooperative with officers, but police said they believe the man may have been shot inside a retail store and placed in a vehicle to be taken to the hospital.

Twenty-four people were shot, six fatally, last weekend citywide.

Isn’t it about time to call in the U.N. A Somali Peace Keeping force would do wonders.
Happy MLK Day. Don’t forget to Duck and Cover.

Chicagos’ crime problems are going national! It’s scary that so many very bad things will be happening throughout this country and for a very long time.

“Chicagos’ crime problems are going national! It’s scary that so many very bad things will be happening throughout this country and for a very long time.”

It’s often been said, the rest of the nation is 10 years behind California. Consider that!

What is there to smile about? Lost my hearing Friday due to Meniere’s, live in PAIN 24/7/365. Hand surgeon screwed up my fine motor skills. Now we have a dying King, the following Queen will be worse, Peelosi follows her.,

So sorry about your physical troubles. It’s tough to overcome them. I know first hand. I’ve been through lots myself. With the help of my cray cray family and the lord, I kept smiling.
