CHICAGO -- At least 31 people were shot, eight fatally, in Chicago shootings since Friday evening.

About 9:20 p.m. Friday, a 50-year-old man was shot and killed in East Garfield Park while inside a restaurant.

Two hours earlier, Randal Wilson, 65, was standing near the front of a residence about 7:20 p.m.

Early Saturday, an 18-year-old man was shot to death while on a front porch of a residence in Chatham on the South Side. A resident of the home found the man with multiple gunshot wounds to the body and head after hearing "a loud disturbance" from outside around 1:30 a.m.

Saturday evening, two men were fatally shot in South Chicago on the South Side.

A person was found fatally shot early Sunday in South Austin on the West Side. About 2:05 a.m., the person was found by officers in the 4900 block of West Superior Street with a gunshot wound to his neck.

A 5-year-old boy and a man were shot and critically injured on the city's North Side Sunday afternoon, Chicago police said.

A self cleaning oven. At some point all thugs will have whacked each other.

It’s just the BeetleJuice demon getting back into the good graces of its Big Daddy in hell. Gotta keep the count up to meet the body-count mandates.

25% is still a pretty poor quarterback rating, if you know what I mean.

I wonder how long ago she stopped reading the news. This same weekend headline has been going on for years now. Why are these people still in office? Mind boggling.

Chicago Police Department - Citywide Crime Statistics

You'd start to think that Democrats enjoy these unimaginably tragic numbers.

Nope. Chitcango is a self perpetuating crime system. These yutes are making their bones at 11 years old.

Who cares about Chicago or Mara whatever - did you hear about Sylvester Stallone’s divorce?

Oh, and another grainy unfocused snap of a UFO with no reference terrain/background is out! It’s the real deal.

Get over it everyone, they’re here and we’re going to need a one world government to deal with the threat. I just hope their space ships don’t hurt my sunflowers.

“A self cleaning oven. At some point all thugs will have whacked each other.”

Between the abortions and the shootings you’d think so, but it just keeps going. Time for a second look at legal machine guns?
