The Chicago Sun-Times ^ | August 8, 2021 | By Sun-Times Wire

Forty-five people have been shot — four fatally, including a Chicago police officer — since 7 p.m. Saturday across Chicago.

That included mass shootings in Gresham and two police officer shot, one fatally, in West Englewood.

So far this month, 155 people have been shot, 23 fatally, in gun violence across the city, according to Chicago Sun-Times data.

Around 2:05 a.m., a 24-year old man started shooting after getting into a verbal fight with another man, 37, at a lounge in the 1800 block of West 87th Street in Gresham on the Far South Side, police said.

The 37-year-old man was shot twice in the neck and three times in the back and died at Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, police said.

The man who fired the shots was himself shot eight times and was in critical condition at Christ Hospital, according to the police, who said at least five others who were at the lounge also were shot.

Hey Jackass has the tally at 10 dead, 59 wounded - and that’s with virtually all of Sunday / early Monday morning to yet add into the weekend toll.

The thin veneer of civilization has been ripped away in Chiraq, aided and abetted by one of the most monumentally brain dead mayors I’ve ever seen.

Obviously the police hasn’t been sufficiently defunded.

A face only a mother could love. And she was pretty high on crack at the time.

Sorry to be “picky”, but an article on just another, normal Saturday night in Chicago really doesn’t belong in “News/Activism” ... does it?

The dystopian city of Chicago run by Gollum’s sister where police keep score but have given up playing the game. Look no further than Altgood Garden Homes, Julia C Lathrop Homes (Latin Kings territory) and the worst of them Dearborn Homes to find the cesspools that create fatherless, unemployable homies/gangbangers/thugs. How anyone escapes these government created hell holes is a miracle.

right now, the only people permitted, or at least left free to carry their firearms in Chicago are the criminal gangsters

end the illegal “gun control” BS and the crime rate will go way way way down.

and now for something a bit more controversial because it another government give=away program, alas... but please consider this one....it will actually help people a lot...
— offer any citizen who cannot afford one a free good quality firearm for their self-defense (with a safety training class).
Then the criminal element will know that they will be met with meaningful chance of losing when they attack you.
Far less crime in Texas than in Chicago.
SOme, yes, but much less.

Also, let’s restore shooting sports and firearms training to our high schools!!!!!

More blood on the hands of the lesbo Chicago mayor. Chicagoans have no one to blame but themselves.

The so called “gun violence” is nothing new in Chicago, but now it is supposed to be justification for disarming legal gun owners at home with their families in suburbs.
