NBC News Chicago ^ | September 4, 2022

More than three dozen people have been shot so far over the Labor Day weekend in Chicago, with five victims having died from their injuries.

The first fatal shooting of the weekend was reported in the 4400 block of West Jackson at approximately 6:30 p.m. Friday.

According to police, a 24-year-old man was standing on a sidewalk when two vehicles approached, and multiple gunmen opened fire, striking him multiple times in the back.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene, and an investigation remains underway.

Just after midnight in the 1300 block of North Hudson, officers responding to a call of shots fired discovered a 31-year-old man lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to his chest.

The man was rushed to an area hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

At approximately 2:52 a.m. in the 6000 block of South Racine, another fatal shooting was reported Saturday.

A 22-year-old man was found lying on the street after having been shot in the chest and in the arm, and he was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.

Yes. Ain’t over until it’s over.

Lightfoot could say “Not fair. There’s an extra weekend day for Labor Day to mess up the numbers for the other weekends.”

I wish Lori Lightintheloafers would pass a law making it illegal to waste ammunition in Chicago.

Halftime Score.

Pretty much spot-on accurate.

I did "Bike the Drive" this morning, 30 miles on Lake Shore Drive and there was a HEAVY police presence the entire route.

BTW: you bet your ass I was packing.

Did all 30 miles, the last five in a torrential downpour.

You reminded me of this story.

White guy hauling ass on a bike on MLK Blvd in NJ. White woman hits him, and doesn't stop.

I’m sure Lori Lightbrain is already working on a speech to justify confiscating law abiding citizens firearms. Only law abiding citizens that is, not criminals or gangbangers or illegal aliens firearms after all they have rights.

5/33=0.151515=15.2%. Mixed results.

Upside. Our military doctors get more opportunities to practice surgical skills on people with gunshot wounds so their skills get better.

Downside. Need more range time, move the aiming sights to the top of their pistols or both.

Same thing is true for Cardinals’ games in St. Louis. As you leave the stadium there are cops everywhere. Downtown St. Louis is not all that far from ‘sketchy’ neighborhoods and the powers-that-be don’t want to see all the money the games bring to disappear.

I’m starting to think this is the mayor’s plan for population control.

They keep describing those who get shot as “victims”. It’s more like they are volunteers for violence.

And to think she’s whining about Gov. Abbott busing in illegal immigrants. They’re the replacements.
