seems like a slow week-end for Chi....

Fewer shootings than they often have, but more fatalities.

[LydiaLong]

Because nothing says “Happy Father’s Day” like gunfire.

It’s gotten to the point that I don’t even have to click on the thread title to know it’s Chicago.......Is there anybody left there?

someone used a high-powered assault rifle

No suspect in custody, no weapon recovered but it was definitely a high-powered assault rifle

When is the Obama speech today?

The site you listed is the go-to site for Chicago shooting statistics, in spite of its name.

Tremendous information here that shows the abject failure of the Rahm Administration and his Democrat toadies who are deliberately allowing this mayhem to take place.

We have an Orlando every four weeks or so in Chicago and no one says a word.

Low powered assault rifle

Good think Chicago has tough gun laws. Otherwise, things would really be out of hand.

To build on your point: we have two Orlandos a week here in Birmingham UK.

And that's just one abortion clinic.

“...someone used a high-powered assault rifle to kill a 17-year-old boy.....”

Ta da! There it is again. No matter what caliber it’s high powered! No make and model yet? Who saw the assault rifle? No descriptions? Maybe it sounded like a high powered assault rifle.

NMI. No More Infringement!

Its how the Big Men of Chicago African American politics keep the gentrifiers out. Its not pretty but if they allow the gentrifiers in out go the Big Men for nice white lady liberal politics. And no one defenestrates African American racial politics like a nice liberal white lady and that style of passive aggressiveness.

Just sayin’....Cleveland had hundreds of thousands of people in the streets last night in spontaneous joyous celebration. No shots were fired.

[Old Yeller]

Must be spending more time at the range.

Gun Control talk in Illinois politics is pablum for the idiot libtards, it doesn’t even rise to the level of code word here. Underneath all of this violence is political power and the white libs in the state have seriously damaged the Pre-Obama Black political power base.

[Tax-chick]

Or just dumb luck.

There is a picture at the Chicago Sun Times link of a shell casing from the “high powered assault weapon.” I’m not thoroughly convinced.

It is a very confusing holiday in Southside Chicago in the badder part of town.

If you go down there, you'd best beware of a man name of LeRoy Brown.
