CHICAGO (WLS) -- At least 50 people have been shot, ten fatally, in Chicago shootings so far this weekend, police said.

A shooting in Austin left one person dead and six others wounded. The shooting occurred at about 1 a.m. in the 4800-block of West Iowa Street, police said.

A man was killed and another wounded in a shooting Saturday morning in Englewood on the South Side. Shortly before noon, the 70-year-old man and a 24-year-old man were struck by gunfire in the 7100 block of South Peoria Street, according to Chicago police.

Hours earlier, a 31-year-old man was fatally shot in the city's South Shore neighborhood. It happened around 6:48 a.m. in the 1700-bock of West 69th Street.

Those darned guns are always doing their gun violence. Chicago really seems to have problems with these guns doing the gun violence. For 50 to be shot in Chicago, I’m guessing that around 2000 rounds would need to be fired.

Austin, Englewood, Auburn-Gresham

Its always the same neighborhoods. That’s why nobody really cares, even the black progressives.

To the media:
Stop
saying
gun violence.

The Commies are taking our words from us like they did with the rainbow. Termination of a pregnancy (abortion), an undocumented migrant (illegal alien), person with a substance abuse disorder (addict). .....The gun doesn’t creep outside, load and aim itself and shoot someone.
See if they have the courage to look at the types of shooters. Number of Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islanders and others.

See if a trend emerges and it can point toward a solution.

Official government categories:
“On census surveys, an individual can report as White, Black or African American, Asian, American Indian and Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, or some other race. Additionally, respondents may report multiple races.”

Juneteenth is a 3-day weekend and the weather is heating up. Instead of celebrating freedom and thinking good, positive thoughts about their future, they will take to the streets and shoot each other and at innocent people of their own race. Then they’ll blame it on the guns and the Republicans.

You wonder why the da isn’t out there attempting to hang the criminal shooters. Then you wonder why they only go after people who shoot their criminal attackers in self defense.

You’d almost think they wanted the law abiding fearful and/or dead, or in jail for successfully defending themselves against thugs the very politicians make excuses for and find reasons to let free on the citizenry.

They get violent arguing about whether Schrödinger’s cat is alive or dead.
