Weekend violence didn't stop for President Barack Obama's Chicago visit
President Barack Obama's visit to Chicago didn't stop another violent weekend.
At least seven people were killed and 35 were injured since Friday night. The youngest victim was a 16-year-old girl who died after she was shot three times in the chest Saturday evening in the Englewood neighborhood.
Ten people were shot overnight Friday, and in one hour Sunday morning, three people were killed. The latest shooting happened just after midnight Monday when a 19-year-old was shot to death on the city's North Side.
The shootings mark the third weekend in a row with gunfire injuries totaling well into the double digits. Last weekend, (link) across Chicago. The previous weekend, (29 hurt, 3 killed....) in shootings.
"None of it is OK," Supt. Garry McCarthy told NBC Chicago last week. "And I don't want it to seem like we're managing it, but the realistic expectations have to be over the long-term."
This weekend marked the beginning of an overtime incentive program to put more police in neighborhoods where crime is highest. Fewer than 60 officers signed up for the program, though.
President Obama and his family arrived in Chicago Friday evening. They attended the wedding of senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett's daughter, and the president spent Father's Day golfing with friends.
I still like my thunderdome idea. They all enter but only one leaves. Little does the last one know that they are shot while on the way out.
Chicago’s a liberal city. Ideas have consequences... Vote Republican.
The ideal society according to black democratic mayors and other garbage like NYC’s Bloomturd. “A society where only the police and military are armed” As long as no police or other government bureaucrats were hurt, then what happens to the peasants is of no consequence at all.
More HOPE! and CHANGE!
And all these gang shootings are counted by the feckless Brady anti-gun nut jobs as “children” who have been killed by guns.
Oh, well, I am sure he took the girls golfing the majority of those 100- 5 to 6 hour trips to the links. Right? No? Never?
What a lousy jerk. When does he spend time with the kids? When he looks at their picture in his wallet?????
resist we much!
Wow.. “only” 35 wounded and seven killed?
Slow weekend... what did the cops do with all that extra time? Scout for environmental violations?
Afghanistan is the Dem’s war and Chicago is the Dem’s toddlin’ town.
Well, it may be one way to reduce the welfare rolls.........

It was father’s day and they didn’t know who to shoot.
If you only look at Afghanistan (compared to Chicago), there were fewer American deaths there than in Chicago.
YAWN, just same ol same ol, N-words shooting and killing other N-words. what’s new next, dog bites man?
If the N-word leaders are not concerned enough to stop it, why in the hell should I give a tinker’s dam?
Are the Bulls even in the NBA finals?
