Between 11 p.m. Friday and 5 a.m. Tuesday, seven people were killed and 35 others were wounded in shootings across the city.
Between Friday night and Monday morning of the city’s Labor Day weekend last year, the city tallied 13 people dead and 52 others wounded in shootings citywide.
Seven people were killed and at least 25 others were wounded in shootings last weekend.

That’s why they want to be a “Sanctuary City”...they’ll eventually run out of targets.

Considering:
"Denying Hurricane Harvey’s climate links only worsens future suffering"I think that they should consider >that< the problem with guns in Chicago.

Last year on Labor Day weekend, 65 were shot and 13 were killed. The fools on the morning radio were pleased with the reduction in violence. Seriously - they were.

I’m thinking that “a day off from work” is a very questionable presumption.
