I suspect it will not be a record breaking number of shootings for the weekend, but we still have about eight ours to go (if they consider mid-night on Sunday the end of the weekend). Chicago has been known to up the game on Sunday evenings. Let’s wait and see before we call the final score.
Not bad for a summer weekend in Chicago.
you’d think there’d be a betting line on the weekend bodycount/wounded by now...
Wait Wait
There must be some mistake. Chicago has some of the most stringent guns laws anywhere.
How do so many people keep getting legal guns week after week?
The count is waaaaaayyyyyy too low.
The BeetleJuice demon is gonna be in a lot of trouble with its Big Daddy if that count doesn’t go up. /s
Yes.
It ain’t over until it’s over—Yogi Berra
But sadly it is already over for the unfortunates in the grim and usual Chicago statistics.
Another mass killing in chicago. What was the race of those murdered or did they once again leave that out since they could not say the shooters were white?
Just like the Hutus and Tutsis, NO ONE CARES, especially the Obama cannibals. It just means more flesh available to eat.
where's bammy? the social workers? orca? lebrainless?? the rest of the "smart" lefties who try to tell us how racist we are??
Or Christians slaughtered by Muslims in Nigeria.
So far a 13.3% success rate. A little low. Normally it’s in the 16%-17% territory.
Turn in your guns in Nebraska!!!
Chicago - a model democrat hellhole. It’s what democrats will do to the country if they have power long enough.
RE:Just like the Hutus and Tutsis,
Reply: Or Christians slaughtered by Muslims in Nigeria.
May I add Ethiopians to the list?
“Christians have been severely beaten, sometimes beheaded, and their churches, homes and businesses devastated in attacks in the southern region, which is about 60% Muslim.
Ninety-seven percent of people in the northern and northwestern regions belong to the EOC, whose teachings are extremely different from biblical Christianity. Those who do not adhere to EOC teachings face beatings, imprisonment and destruction of property.” August, 2021 in Alabama Christian.
Speaking of Beetlejuice, it turns out Lightfoot is a leadfoot. The fleet of black SUVs she’s driven around in has racked up dozens of speeding and red-light-running tickets. None of them has been paid. They used to be quietly tossed aside until the Tribune ran an expose. Now they continue to pile up, unpaid.
Surprised Far Left CBS 2 in Chicago didn’t blame the Police. Channel 2 is the worst most far left TV fake news station in Chicago.
