The long-term statistics indicate that the “spray and pray” method of shootings on South side of Chicago have a 1:10 kill ratio.
Trying to be #1 will require more range time.
slow weekend?
The weather here in NE HELLINOIS was absolutely awesome so I’m surprised the number of shootings was so low ...
So far.
Care-0-meter is on ZERO.
On the other side of the scorecard: No arrests, no trials, no convictions, no imprisonment of the felons. Suspect many of those shot are murderers themselves. Revenge is the only justice available to the aggrieved in these lawless Democratic run cesspools.
Yup, yup, yup... if we only had tougher gun laws!
Disappointed. The ratio has a lot to improve
Nope. Not final at all. The carnage will continue, unabated.
I’ve never been a fan of “spray and pray”. It’s a complete waste of perfectly good ammunition.
No wonder the Chicago Bears are moving to Arlington Heights.
Mass shooting
Apparently Chicago has more gang members than any other city in the world with a reported population of 150,000 plus......would not be surprised if they use real people for target practice.
4 dead, 40 wounded in 48 hours.
Do they shoot someone at the top of every hour, or what?
Between blacks and Latino gangs - Water and oil do not mix.
“At least four people are dead and 40 others are wounded in weekend shootings across the city”
The shooters’ self-esteem must also have been wounded because that’s all it takes for those drama queens to start their shooting. /no sarcasm intended!
I’m waiting for the weekend that NADCAR does the streets of Chicago? Will carjackings of race cars put you out of the race? What about drive by shootings? Hmm... Car #40 is going through turn 12 and a he gets carjacked... 🤓 And wait, car #94 is shooting a known gang member house... 🤓
