is the weekend over already? I must’ve missed it.
That’s a low number but you have to blame it on being too cold to go outside and shoot someone.
Black lives matter except in Chicago.
And people wonder why I am not worried about visiting Cancun…
True, not a lot happening in Chicago this weekend, 20 wounded for Chicago is like peace deal was signed between warring drug clans.
RIP, little girl.
It’s cold, so the numbers are down.
With numbers like that, Chicago won’t stand a chance against Philly.

Gang initiation?
THE DECLINE AND FALL OF CHICAGO AND ILLINOIS
RE: possible gang initiation?
Remember when Newsom (not in Illinois, I admit) had to publicly apologize when he blamed gangs for massive looting of freight trains?
Gavin Newsom Apologizes. CA governor walks back calling train thieves ‘organized gangs’ and says thousands of packages are being pillaged by simple ‘groups of folks’....
Newsom clarified: ‘Forgive me for saying “gangs” - that’s not a pejorative. They’re organized groups of folks that move from site to site’ Daily Mail, January 22, 2022.
It’s cold, so the numbers are down.

But when it’s below zero in Chiraq, that’s when the MAGA supporters come out and look for homosexual black actors to beat and string up. Right Jussie?

God bless that sweet little girl’s soul.
Her hopes and dreams are gone. And those of her loved ones.
How about weekly metrics?
Still have Sunday.
Well, I once heard that in Chicago it’s normal to want a Subway sub at 2:00 AM when it’s only in the single digits, and you should walk outside to go get you one.
Also normal: Trump hat wearing Black Africans who are carrying bleach and string nooses.
