Looks like the new mayor is really cracking down. Those numbers look low for Chicago.

Yeah, the weekend is only half-way over with so I suspect those numbers will increase by morning. They will increase again tomorrow night before time for all those aspiring rappers to appear at the studio bright and early Monday morning.

But, but, but, they passed the Safe-t act and gun control laws. So this story MUST be lie.

The temperatures are dropping and it starts raining. Chances are the numbers will drop for the rest of the weekend.

Halftime Score.

+++++++++++

End of first period. Second (Saturday night) and third (Sunday night) period getting spooled up. There’s always overtime (Monday - Thursday) or dare I say a “shoot out” or “sudden death”? Hockey seems to have better parallels.

For Chicago, I guess this is what is supposed to be just another pleasant weekend in early Spring-get outdoors in the semi-fresh air-interact with the neighbors if you have a kevlar vest...

Their kill percentage seriously needs some work, time to get them some target practice.

I agree they need more gun control and target practice. I see they hold their guns sideways which is really stupid.

Don’t worry, Governor Shitmer signed some gun controls bills into law on Thursday; this sort of thing should stop soon.
