Mayor Lori Lightfoot has asked people to quit using the term “murders” in describing Chicago incidents. Please use the term “Baldwins” when referring to these unfortunate accidents.

The Supreme Ruler of Chicago should issue an edict declaring malicious wounding and murder illegal.

Some Black Lives Matter*

*SBLM - It’s only significant when Blacks are killed by Whites, preferably police. All others need not apply.

“One person was killed and 11 others were wounded in shootings in Chicago Thursday.”

I really doubt only one person was killed in Chicago Thursday.

If you’re really good, they’ll never find the bodies.

Shooting at trade school is not far fetched if your trade is selling dope.
