For a Chicago holiday weekend, that’s “mostly peaceful.” Beetlejuice will be in front of the cameras declaring victory.
Chicago, what a wonderful place to sell ammo... :)
“My mistake, four coffins.”
Condolences to family and friends of the INNOCENT victims.
That’s not enough. They need to start using hand grenades and motars.
Other than in certain parts of Texas, and Arizona during limited times you are correct.
Only 5? They running out of ammo?
Air drop pallets into the area.
There’s this great website called heyjackass.com. It outlines all the murders that take place in Chicago. Mayor Lightfoot should be very happy about what a great city she presides over.
