That is ONE busy gun! Obviously it travels via one of those EVIL SUVs to move around town on its own! *SMIRK*

This ONLY happens in cities with lots of democrats. No where else in the USA.

Wherever there are Rats, you will find indiscriminate gun violence, knifings and knockout events (always black on white).

But Chicago has the gayest city council in the country. I am sure that will console the mourning families..

Whatever happened with the mayor’s summer safety program?

He supposedly had a plan to deal with all the violence in Chicago

The criminal justice system has collapsed in Chicago. The police are emasculated and felons commit the most heinous crimes. There are almost no arrests, no convictions, no imprisonments. The aggrieved victims of the violence have no recourse other than vengance to seek a modicum of justice. Suspect that most of those wounded and killed were themselves violent felons who were killed and wounded by the aggrieved friends or families of people they themselves killed or wounded. Chicago is the perfect example that any vote for any Democrat anywhere, anytime is a vote to destroy the American nation.

Is there anyone left in Chicago that does NOT have at least one bullet hole in them?

The story above this one is exactly why the police stop drivers who happen to be black for traffic violations in certain neighborhoods.

They’re getting ready for Junteenth and summer, sure to be a “killer” season. Perhaps record setting as well. The mayor is cowering under his bed.
