Could this be an initiation process in one of the gangs?
Gotta take a bullet/survive before the process is complete.

Numbers are up from last weekend, but they still are way behind a record setting pace.

Generally. I think initiations center around shooting/killing someone else. Getting shot takes care of itself once you’ve been initiated.

According to my local news in Florida, this is a non-issue. Instead we were subjected to speculation about four Muslims being shot over the past 10 months in Albuquerque New Mexico.

In the old days, action in the ‘hood would taper off in the winter time, but with “globull warming” they kill pretty much year round now.

That’s up from the last few weeks. Chicago’s law enforcement program must be, um, working.
