Nothing to see here. No humans involved. Move along.

I thought it was Chiraq?

No wonder all these minority yutes are poor, only 8 dead after 29 being shot? If they would learn to shoot straight they wouldn’t have to waste a lot of money on ammunition.

ANOTHER mass shooting in Chicago? Will Brandon lament it?

It’s such a shame they don’t have any tough gun laws there. If they did, this wouldn’t be happening.

But practicing with hundreds of rounds at the range gets mighty expensive. It’s more cost-effective for da yutes to spray and pray.

If they were better shots then eventually the problem would be reduced.

That 28% kill ratio is embarrassing—come on Chicago, the thugs in Philly are laughing at you.

Well, this is better than the report I read a couple days ago that said only three had died. I commented that they could do better... AND THEY DID! Now eight. Keep it up guys.

Just wait until the totals come in after the upcoming 4th of July weekend.

I expect fireworks, lots of them, and lots of dead bodies too - which the new mayor will blame on White Supremacists.

Only two dead after Friday and Saturday, but our team came back on Sunday, scoring six times in a come from behind loss.
That is a lot of shooting after a morning in Young people Sunday School Class.

Chicago still has EMT’s who will eventually show up to a shooting. I assume that contributes to their low death ratio. They need to get with the program like New Orleans has where a 911 call is answered in hours not minutes. That gives the participants time to bleed out.

Thanks for the update!

They must have just updated their count. I see:
Shot & Killed for the week - 10
Shot & Killed for June - 50
Shot & Killed for 2023 - 280
