By Chicago standards, a very quiet weekend.
Lives matter.
Well football is winding down and the bball boys are getting wound up. Lots of sports distraction does have a tendency to decrease the number of killings.
only 12 people shot in Chicago? I’m sure Blackfoot will hold that up as a major achievement.
Blue city blues it never changes.
Mus’ be %#€¥€# €%#¥$&’ cold.
