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.

Never heard of such a thing and who is going to run to one of these just after a shooting?

[VanShuyten]

Good things for everyone to have in their first aid kits.

Therefore, they will all disappear within 48 hours of being set out.

This sounds like surrender

[TangoLimaSierra]

The smartest gang will go around town and steal all of them so there’s none for rival gangs.

[Rebelbase]

in a pinch, Tampons make great bleed stoppers.

"*My first thought was that somebody is going to steal those sharp, shiny shears and use them as a weapon of conveniance."

What a thought and it sure won't get reported on the Chicago news - Mayor distributes murder kits.

Well, if a stray bullet his one of my children or grandchildren I would run to a 'Bleeding Control Kit'...

... BUT Chicago being a typical democrat hellhole the kit would be gone because some lowlife democrat would have taken it to resell or to use to wipe his ass.

—I guess “midnight basketball” didn’t fix everything—

Do they have Quick Clot?

We would like some for our gun range.

They're gonna need a bigger kit.

That stuff is hard to find these days. I picked up some Combat Gauze at the local Army Surplus store a while back. They had a couple left. Not sure if he still does.

[I want the USA back]

Like giving free needles to druggies, free condoms to aids patients and welfare to criminals.

These people never get at the root of the problem! (Democrat inner city policies)

[Scrambler Bob]

We probably left 40-foot shipping containers full of it in Afghanistan.

[Lurker]

I’m sure. The owner said his came from a vet just home from over there. He got $25 a pack.

We have it in our IFAKs now. Goes right next to the tourniquet.

Baggie full of different size corks

[GOPJ]

It’s like some dystopian science fiction movie. How can even the low moral, low integrity, low honesty Dems think this carnage is acceptable?

Democrats ONLY judge themselves on their "INTENTIONS' not on outcome. So in their evil little demented minds this is 'doing something about the problem'...

[hsmomx3]

I was thinking the same thing...thieves would surely steal these.

[cgbg]

Great way to lure tourists.

“We care about your safety in Chicago so much we have bleeding centers in our public libraries in case you get shot on the street!”

lol

If it’s squirting red, put your finger on it fast.

But only after, putting on your mask (you do have a mask on, don’t you?),, calling 9-1-1 ( you do remember that number, don’t you?), putting on a pair of gloves, carefully ‘cause there the cheap ones leftover by the crackheads,
Then spread everything out to see what you have there to use, assess the bleeding being, oh, he’s dead? Okay,you’re done. GOOD JOB, hero.

[Chode]

City Hall and Chicago Public Library locations.

LOL... they expecting some kind of mass shooting or something?

and if so, what does that say about their building security??
