Easter Bunny needs to pack heat.
Gun violence = black violence
“The victim was SHOT NINE TIMES, then drove himself to the hospital.”
The will to survive is very strong in most people.
What are the chances that this victim doesn’t have any health insurance right now, not even ObamaCare?
I think the hospital E-Room must care for him anyway.
I can hardly wait until the Dem Convention. It’ll be like 1968 all over again.
Something up with that one. 3 guys pulled up with pistols and rifles and shot the heck out of him. I’m no detective, but my wife watches a lot of murder shows. That one seems like a targeted hit. He might have a profitable cash business and the competition wanted him out. Or he didn’t pay his vendors on time.
What’s with shooting at a crowd of young women though?
Umm....you mean Trans Awareness Weekend
Sounds like they think Easter is to blame.
Or something as innocent enough as being a targeted member of an opposing gang.....
You know, the Catholics vs. the Protestants kind of feud.
When the Chicongoans celebrate, they celebrate bigly.
Exactly. Gun violence IS black violence.
Shhhhhhhhhhhh. I’m huntin’ wabbits.
Horrible. Condolences to friends and families of the victims.
Happy TransGender Day Chicago
It’s not the guns, it’s your son’s, 13/52
"Say hello, to my little friend!"
Absolutely ridiculous, less than a 10% kill ratio, they definitely need some training and more practice if we are ever going to get this self induced genocide on the map...
