Chicago installing 'Bleeding Control Kits' around city amid gun violence © Getty Chicago has begun installing “Bleeding Control Kits” across the city under the new Safe Chicago program amid an increase in gun violence.
Four hundred-twenty-six Bleeding Control Kits are being installed in 269 Chicago buildings, including City Hall and Chicago Public Library locations. Each kit can treat up to eight victims.
Every kit comes equipped with a tourniquet, gauze, shears, gloves, and an instruction manual on how to best use it in instances of “life threatening bleeding emergencies” that can result from falls, penetrating injuries (such as stabbings), gunshot wounds, and more.

What?? Didn’t curtailing hours at convenience stores cure the problem like Lightbrain said it would?

The US is completely upside down.
This is just silliness.
Try executing the executioners.

Chicago street gangs are killing people in non-stop gang wars, but the pinkos at the Hill insists on using the inane phrase “gun violence” in its headline.

It’s like some dystopian science fiction movie.
How can even the low moral, low integrity, low honesty Dems think this carnage is acceptable?
We shouldn’t even speak to Dems during the day. We’re enabling them by being that accepting. They think WE should be “punished” (Don Lemon) for questioning their election fraud. While they make like unlivable or even fatal for anyone visiting their urban s—— holes like Chicago.

Without training, these kits are useless. If a person is seriously bleeding out (major artery, etc) you have less than 5 minutes to stop the bleed or they will die. You cant expect anyone untrained to figure out how to use a CAT tourniquet or stuff a wound effectively from a instruction card in short that time.

Someone can bleed out in the time it takes to read the instructions.

They don't need bleeding control kits. Bill Clinton taught years ago that ice cures everything.

Tourniquets only work on extremities.
