Not yet. Still have until midnight tonight.
The democrats want every City to be just like Chicago
These black on black weekly murders are the DEMS “dirty little secret”. These people are never used as political props, rarely make the news, and no one shows up from DC. When will the black community realize that it is the DEMS who do not care about black lives, other than a vote. Chicago is THE elephant in the room.
The thugs have spread their talents to River North and the Liberal Lake Front wards - now the Ultra Left Democrats who have “hate has no place here” signs in their windows will experience real urban life.
If only we could declare a city officially disfunctional and force a state takeover by edict and only after a crime rate is drastically reduced allow for new elections. Without that folks just need to “get out of town” in levels like a mass migration.
No, The New Nazis want us all to live in these fetid Hades Holes and have nothing. Or, they want us dead…
38 shot and 6 dead. That is a good start! I bet it doubles once the neighbor”hood” bar-b-ques start this evening.
Well, I got the over right on the number of shootings, 4 more dead today gets me to the 10 I predicted.
In formerly sane Spokane, crime is rising. My friend’s granddaughter was shot three times through the window and will never walk again. She has a 3-month-old daughter. Lives 2 blocks from Gonzaga University.
Even on lovely South Hill, where I live, shots ring out now and then, cars are broken into, tires are stolen off cars ( I lost two) . My new neighbor, a former cop, woke up in the middle of the night and went out, saw a guy with a “gang haircut” rummaging through neighbor’s yard looking for things to steal. Scared him off with a GUN.
I am going to protest Major League Baseball until Chicago turns itself around.
No, all he needs to do is attack selected ‘mass’ type murders. Once it gets hold, then the other murders will get in line with no weapons. lol
He can’t outright go after his voters right now.

Tranquil and peaceful Benghazi-by-the-Lake.
The only good news is that the thugs in Chicago are notoriously poor shots. 38 shot and only 6 killed?
Where is Lori? She can help, can’t she?
Good grief. 6 peeps dead in one weekend. Lightfoot is a sham. I really wonder if she has a debilitating mental disorder. Looks like delusional disorder,,, could be predementia. Someone needs to find out what meds she is taking.
