CHICAGO -- Memorial Day weekend violence has left nine people dead and 34 others wounded, Chicago police said.
Police said three people were shot while standing on the sidewalk in the 9100-block of South Harper Avenue when someone drove up and fired at around 1:45 a.m.
A 59-year-old man, 57-year-old woman, and a 77-year-old man were all hit and transported to local hospitals.
The violence happening despite Mayor Brandon Johnson's new safety plan, to increase police on the streets and include community groups to help curb violence in the city.
Meanwhile in Englewood, Mayor Johnson joined community members in a game of cards at an event aimed to bring families together to prevent gun violence.

Yep, there’s a picture of the culture.
The problem Is the culture. Adding a policeman on every corner will solve nothing. The culture is mainly rooted in LBJ’s great new society.
And yesterday would have been a decent day to go to the range in Vermont or Maine or New Hampshire or North or South Dakota or Montana or many parts of Texas or Tennessee and elsewhere like that with basically no violent firearm related crime.
Another mass murder in gun free chicago.
“Don’t demonize the kids”
I think the numbers have increased once more.

In a city with the most strict gun control laws!
At least Daley used to catch and prosecute the murderers. In Chicago today there is very little fear of being held accountable for any crime you might commit. Any “crime” other than the constitutional application of your 2nd amendment rights by law abiding citizens.
Peoples control, control your people

Memorial Day warzone: At least 41 people shot and nine killed in Chicago during holiday weekend
Will JoeK visit $hitcago and offer his sympathy and talk about automatic handgun control?
Hahaha, sometimes I crack myself up.
I'm sure the Chicago Tribune will declare the Mayor's policy a stunning success.
That “peacekeeper” thing is working as intended!
On this “issue” I agree with the Liberal-Left: IDGAF.
And one of the bluest DNC cities.
Until it’s 9 wounded, 48 killed, nothing will change.
With one day to go... This tally Looks on the high side to me
