I suppose they were all filling out job applications online on their phones when suddenly a gun randomly teleported in from nowhere and started firing.
So let’s make Chicago the “gun control” testing zone. Try any and all new legislation on this area and measure the results one year later. If it works in Chicago… (but don’t experiment on the whole nation).
Shouldn’t the opportunists be, “marching for their lives,” in Chicago and demanding that Beetle Juice, “DO SOMETHING?”
Will Matthew McConaughey be taking his TRAVELING SALVATION SHOW to Chicago?
Curiously enough, THIS is never considered a “mass shooting” - when it’s typically a black-on-black incident.
Just business as usual in da hood.
The weekend ain’t over yet.
Only blacks killed by whites lives’ matter. These victims are non-persons due the media’s institutional racism.
I also expect the long hot summer will really kick in around that time.
Not their intention, but the most effective right wing propaganda is often the mainstream press.
The weather here is relatively nice and that's when the hoodrats like to go out and shoot.
It's going to be 97 here on Tuesday and in the upper 80's to mid 90's the rest of the week.
The really big shooting weekends happen when it's hot outside. Looking at the next 10 days forecast for here in the Shitcagoland area, the shootings are about to go way up.
If we only had universal background checks!!!
HeyJackass has it at 5 dead.
So far just a typical summer weekend in Chicago.
“6 killed and 19 wounded at the moment per HeyJackass!”
HeyJackass must have updated since I first looked.
Like inflation, if you blink the numbers go up.
Thanks for the correction, even before I read your post :)
I actually have more respect for the Prohibition gangs than I do for the FBI now.
They have an article in todays NY Post that cops are leaving the NYPD in droves “record numbers”. It seems AOCs dream to dismantle the cops is coming true, not that she ever has to worry about being a victim of a violent crime.

The weather prediction below is rather apt after looking at that chart!
Exactly. Only 49 people were shot over the last two weekends in Chicago, but hey they got a Jan 6 Committee Clown Show that deserves more of their attention right now!
