A war among criminals rages on in America's third-largest city, with innocent residents caught in the crossfire.

Over the holiday weekend, Chicago passed an ominous threshold: So far in 2016, 2,000 people have been victims of gun violence. In all of last year, 2,988 people were victims of gun violence, according to records kept by The Chicago Tribune.

Just think, summer is just getting started. Nice warm shooting weather with everyone outside.

And the hotter it gets the more things will heat up.

They probably need bigger “gun free city” signs so everyone will know ... might be helpful to print the signs very slowly so the slow readers will be able to read them.

Are we allowed to call them criminals anymore? I thought that was demeaning.

Maybe we should refer to them as “crime-involved persons.”

When asked what he thought of the carnage in his home city of Chicago, Obama said, “Yes, I did”.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel was unavailable for comment because he was trying to get his ballet slippers out of his mouth after saying everything was under control.

never matters unless it’s a white cop pulling the trigger on some feral low life...... then it is an outrage.

Black on black killings? Normal life....

One thing no one has tracked is how many of these “victims” have been victims more than once. Certainally the suckers who are now deceased can’t get shot again.

Despite having some of the toughest gun regulations of any city in the country, Chicongo continues to record thousands of shootings per year. This is due to tribal warfare. The savages just can't seem to get along with each other.

Just pass a law where all shooters will be neutered immediately. Mandatory.

Eunuchs can still shoot. Stretch their necks.

according to the US Department of Justice (“Homicide Trends in the United States, 1980–2008“), blacks accounted for 52.5 percent of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3 percent and “other” 2.2 percent.

These figures infamously added all Hispanic crimes into the “white” category, and once this distortion is stripped out, it is estimated that around 90 percent of all violent crimes in America are committed by nonwhites.
