Sixteen people have been wounded in shootings across Chicago since Friday evening, including a man killed while on a porch in Stony Island Park on the South Side.

He was sitting on a porch about 8:30 p.m. Friday in the 8400 block of South Bennett Avenue when someone opened fire, striking him multiple times, Chicago police said.

Later, a man was killed in a drive-by shooting late Friday night in the Near West Side.

The 22-year-old was sitting in a vehicle about 11:45 p.m. when a red car drove by and someone from inside fired shots in the 2300 block of West Harrison Street, police said.

About an hour later, a 17-year-old girl was wounded in a shooting in South Chicago.

She was in a ride-hailing vehicle about 9:50 p.m. in the 8800 block of South Mackinaw Avenue when someone opened fire from an SUV, police said.

Late Friday night, five people were shot in a parking lot in Douglas on the South Side.

Last weekend, seven people were killed and 30 others wounded in citywide shootings.

I get depressed every time I see their shooting efficiency......the shooters need a sponsorship program for range time....s

I will argue that killing and wounding are actually secondary results.

Self esteem and peer recognition for just actually shooting are the important factors.

I don't think Id sponsor range time for them though...

This horror has become so routine that there is a widespread tendency to ignore it, in fact even to accept it almost as normal.

One wonders how the people who live there can continue to support the very Democrat politicians who exploit this endless tragedy.

President Trump had a plan for ending it. His puissance and towering intellect indicate that his plan would work. However, the last thing Democrat politicians want would be for him to solve the problem and especially to get credit for it.

The endless exploitation of Black America (et al.!) is part of the Democrats’ cashcow.
