At least three people were killed, and 26 others were wounded in weekend shootings across Chicago as of Sunday.
The ages of the victims range from 13 to 65, according to police.
Two separate shootings took place in Chicago's Loop following holiday festivities.
The first was around 9:50 p.m. in the 100 block of North State Street, near the Chicago Theatre. Police said officers saw a large group on the sidewalk and heard gunfire before the group ran from the area.
Responding officers immediately responded to the area and found seven people, between 13 to 17 years of age, who had been shot. The victims were all treated by fire crews and taken to local hospitals.
The 13-year-old was listed in fair condition. All other victims were in good condition.
Less than an hour later, around 10:40 p.m., police responded to the 100 block of South Dearborn Street, where two more gunshot victims were found. A 14-year-old boy was taken to Northwestern Hospital, where he died. An 18-year-old man was hit in the leg and was also taken to Northwestern in serious condition.
At 1:18 a.m. in the 800 block of North Waller Avenue, two women, 21 and 23, were standing on the sidewalk when a white sedan approached, a suspect stepped out of the vehicle, and fired gunshots towards the victims before returning to the vehicle and fleeing the scene. The 21-year-old was hit in the head and armpit. She was treated by fire crews and taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital in critical condition. The 23-year-old was shot in the ankle and also treated and taken to Mt. Sinai in fair condition.

Pattern recognition.
Apparently they shot a couple street walkers. Dang, that’s cold.
That sounds lower than usual, but I could be wrong.
It’s biased reporting like this that I sometimes would prefer the planet to be rebooted. Far too many are manipulated by the lies from the politicians, media, and the wealthy. We’re being tortured by a million paper cuts, yet we can’t seem to get the message through we’re being controlled. Just wait until the DEMs steal back the House and the Senate in November 2026 ...
So... A typical Chicago weekend.
How ‘bout those Bears?
As the far lefties Prixster and Brandon would say, “but it was only THREE people who got killed.” That’s barely three quarters of an official “mass shooting.”
Bad optics for fat rich boy Pritzker and commie Johnson. Undercuts their soft on crime policies and opposition to Trump.
Have Pritzker and Johnson blamed Trump yet?
They will.
Meanwhile, in Chicago - day, month and year in and out:
Year To Date
Shot & Killed: 337
Shot & Wounded: 1483
Total Shot: 1820
Total Homicides: 401
They’d better get busy there if they want to beat last year’s total of 568 homicides.
Martyrs to the cause of leftist progress in taking on deplorables. I strongly suggest setting sail for calmer waters and safe harbor. Meanwhile, the Pritzker Private Equity juggernaut is buying up businesses in the deep south.. Not in Illinois or It’s crown dung heap, Chicago.
Looking for my “trying to give a damn” clip.
“They’re just isolated incidents.” (Mayor Dimwit)
Only 3 dead out of 29? They need more range time.
I don’t care what the Chicago police say, any branch of Chicago government is likely to be pushing lies.
The only decent stats from there are from here:
They show 6 killed, 26 wounded, those are the real numbers if you ask me.
The key to understanding Chicago is that it is a totally insular, isolated, politically homogenous, in-bred bubble. It is basically a city-state much in the same fashion as New York City. It is an independent realm with it’s own unique zeitgeist which so happens to be morally, politically, intellectually and criminally corrupt and beyond redemption.
Just blowing off steam.

Really a pretty good description. If you think about it, North Korea is not that different. Except Trump can actually discuss policy with Kim Jong Un, not so much with our homegrown dictators.
Best plan is to avoid at all cost. Both places.
Maybe they're just resting up for the 4 day weekend. 🤔
Gee, I sure wish I could write that good. /sarc
