Still early days. Sunday evening usually brings the total well into the double digits.

But they were shooting the non-masking, unvaccinated people, so it’s okay.

All due to the “unvaxxed”, huh?

Or is it climate change that’s still causing this?

I forget what week this is..

TAKING A CUE FROM BIDEN, MAYOR LIGHTFOOT WITHDRAWS ALL POLICE FROM CHICAGO

(CNN) - Citing the brilliance of President Biden's decision to remove America's decades long presence in Afghanistan, Mayor Lori Lightfoot fired every police officer in the CPD and disbanded the department entirely.
"The Chicago PD has been here since 1835 and this city is still the murder capital of America" she said. "More Chicagoans are killed on the average weekend than any city in America,
and they don't have gun control laws as strict as we do so the problem lies with the Police. The events we’re seeing now are sadly proof that no amount of Policemen would ever deliver a stable, united, secure Chicago, that is known in history as the murder capital of America."
The Mayor went on to state that there is no way the gangs and street thugs will take over the city, and the former cops were instructed to leave their uniforms and service firearms on the sidewalk in front of the closed precinct buildings.
</sarcasm>

Needs more range time. Or don’t shoot sideways.

—”A good thing to go in Chicago, “don’t bunch up”.?

Long ago and far away, it was known as a “Cluster F**k”.

Legend had it, an enemy throwing a brick could take out two or three guys in a CF.
