These are black on black shootings, so those pushing gun control are unconcerned about these shootings.
Chicago should be declared a war zone.
“Gun violence” my ass. PEOPLE VIOLENCE IS THE PROBLEM. Until the turd roller politicians figure that out, it will ALWAYS be the problem.
Probably targeted gang shootings.
the sickest part of all this is that there are literally hundreds of cold blooded murderers running free around the city.
And they will never be caught or punished for these murders. I’m sure there are many who have committed more then one murder.
Star Wars stormtrooper level shooting. Can’t they do anything right in Chicago?
I wonder what the solve rate is for homicides in the city of Chicago? I remember as a kid being told that most all bank robberies are solved so it was never worth it for criminals trying to rob banks but now I believe most bank robberies net a couple thousand in (?marked) cash and a great number are never solved. Thoughts?
Sounds like they need a whole lot more Abortion Clinics in that city...
With all these weekend shooting totals I occasionally wonder what the Monday to Friday numbers look like.
I’m seeing various numbers...and some tricks...but it looks like ~45-50% for white victims, and ~20-25% for black victims.
Demented democrats consider the black on black killings as late term abortions.
“those pushing gun control are unconcerned about these shootings”
**************
Nor is the NBA apparently.
Thw war continues
Yeah, but why are the stories sbout the weekends?
Things will get worse when the new mayor, who is even softer on crime, takes over.
What time do these guns come out every day so I will know to stay away during those times? I would think every person would stay home while the guns are out killing and conducting their gun violence.
Too bad the stupid fools in the FBI and Homeland spend half their time looking for 'lone wolves'... while REAL VIOLENCE FILTH in democrat hellhole cities seeps out and destroys the country.
