Apr 2, 2010 1:11 pm US/Eastern 5 Dead, 25 Hurt In Chicago Shootings In 36 Hours CBS News Interactive: Guns In America CHICAGO (CBS) ―

Record-setting warmth has brought a festive, summerlike mood to Chicago over the past couple of days, but it has also led to a rash of gun violence that has left at least five people dead and at least 25 injured in 36 hours.

Fifteen of the victims were shot in just two hours, many of them within a few blocks on Englewood.

Early Friday morning, as the temperature dipped only to the 60s, one person was killed and six were wounded in three shootings within a few blocks in the Englewood neighborhood.

First, a man was shot in the shoulder at about 11:15 p.m., and later died, police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said. Brian Moore, 30 was pronounced dead at 1:38 a.m.

A few blocks away a short time later, police responded to reports of multiple gunshot victims at 12:49 a.m. It turned out that four men in their 20s had been shot, and they were taken to various local hospitals in serious to critical condition, Fire Media Affairs Director Larry Langford said.

Global warming causes thugs to bust caps in each others' asses now?

Englewood is one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the City.

“a rash of gun violence”

A rather odd journalistic construct when you think about it.

Gee that’s 25 more people than have been hurt by “right wing militia groups” all year.

I guess the FBI is doing a good job protecting us from those Christians.

Now that the numbing cold during the last four months in Chicago is over, the street corners, alleys and parking lots once again become headquarters for drug dealing, arguments, jealous rages, domestics, revenges, extortions and elbowing for power in the 'hood.

This socialization is kinda like the block parties the wh......folks hold in the suburbs.....except that the wh.....folks wield shish kebobs instead of Uzis.

It's also known that you can't go into many Sharia law areas of Paris and London anymore if you're wh......folks.

We're getting European-type socialism here, why not European-type suzerainties in the 'hoods of ChiTown?

HA !!! I only wish someone would scream this out loud to all of the out of touch media.

I propose all police to leave behind these violent cities and when the death rate sky rockets and are asked to return, they should only under the condition of no longer being called a “racist criminal justice system” and require all minority leaders of any group to acknowledge their own violent sub-culture that is ruining their people.

Por favor America ! Please wake up. Jesse Jackson, Sharpton, you are all responsible for giving these folks excuses for not bettering themselves and have left some of our Americans behind. Shame on you.
