CHICAGO -- It's been a violent and deadly Memorial Day weekend in Chicago with at least 50 shot, 10 fatally, police said.
The shooting victims range in age from 2 to 77 years old, representing every part of the city.
The violence occurred despite a collaborative public safety effort that the new mayor hopes to implement all summer.
In Back of the Yards, a man critically-wounded in the back, and another man was shot in the face in a South Chicago home.
Police said three people were shot while standing on the sidewalk in the 9100-block of South Harper Avenue when someone drove up and fired at around 1:45 a.m.

20% kill rate. That’s really pathetic.

Why are guns in Chicago so violent? It's the fatherless black guns that are the problem. Take away law abiding citizens' guns, and the fatherless black guns will stop their violent shooting.

20% kill rate. Sad , they’d starve to death if they were hunters.

You know what Chicago needs? They need a “Take Back The Night” march! The bad guys always fold up and run when that happens!

Why are guns in Chicago so violent?As in all large American cities, the vast majority of guns are black. That’s not a racist comment. It is a simple fact. Black guns kill. Again, that is a fact.

Mayor Brandon said it would stop because was sending “peace officers”.

The bad guys always fold up and run when that happens!Especially when you have social workers trained in de-escalation techniques out front in yellow vests carrying flashlights.

Maybe the people of Chicago will get tired of this, and of the big mouths who are always complaining about police. It’s their problem, they can solve it.
