We should demand that the victims not be treated for their gunshot wounds unless they are masked and vaxxed.

If we would only insist on proper social distancing, the number of hits would be significantly fewer.

In response, Mayor Lighthead issued a complete Mask Mandate for the entire city. Including the fans at the Bears game on Saturday.

As long as she can order to people to wear face masks, the city is under control.

It is nice to see fewer, as opposed to less.

If they’d stop with the sideways aim, they’d do better.

What a coincidence! All 23 people were on their way to work, and needed gas at 0255! What are the chances?

I’ll bet most of their victims are glad they have such predictably bad aim. All that sideways shootin’.
