And there is still hours to go in the weekend. My question is whether Chicago is importing more criminals? Because after years of the weekly high death numbers (and these are just from gun shootings), you would think that the number of criminals would be reduced somewhat. However, maybe they are taking out too many bucks when they should be reducing the number of does.

I don’t think I even need to guess the demographics at this point.

Blacks have the highest abortions & at the other end self-killing their own race. In the middle fatherless families.

I don't know if anyone here saw the footage from last night's "festivities" with HUNDREDS of 15-20 year olds (by my guess) running through the streets downtown last night, jumping on cars, etc.. all the while Chicago PD did NOTHING.

Why did they do nothing? Outnumbered. Politicians in Chicago hate them and toss them under the bus at every turn, 1,500+ cops understaffed and massive retirements happening again now that one progressive idiot mayor was replaced bya BIGGER progressive idiot mayor who doesn't have a clue.

It's gonna be a loooooooooooooooooooooooong summer in Chicago.

Those of you who care about your safety and are left in the city, GTFO while you can.

If only guns were illegal in Chicago. Oh wait.........

Guns haven't been illegal in Chicago for almost 15 years. Every time someone posts that line it just shows their ignorance of facts.

The Walgreens at Michigan and Superior was cleaned out.

That's AT LEAST the third or fourth time now. It's just a matter of time until Walgreen's follows WalMart out of the city at this point.

EVERY major US City? I don't know about that. It's ABSOLUTELY coming to every major DEMOCRAT RUN city. Chicago was dumb enough to double-down on progressive retardism, I think it's absolutely going to be the worst there.

Inept & incompetent mayor elect; Chicago Police understaffed and demoralized (they did nothing last night) and another wave of retirements hitting without being able to recruit to replace just means Chicago's past the "swirling the drain" phase and is headed into the sewer main.

Wait until we see consistently warm weather here in Northeast HELLINOIS. That's when the shooting and rioting season begins in earnest.

🤔

According to Wikipedia's List of 50 Biggest American Cities 11 of them are run by Republicans.

Michigan and Superior — is that the one kind of across from the Art Institute?

In the good old days a really fun day trip was to take the train into the city, wander by The Bean and into the Art Institute for the day, then take the train home. No big city driving, tolls or parking bills.

Maybe not anymore.
