CHICAGO (WLS) -- At least 40 people have been shot, four fatally, in shootings across Chicago this weekend, police said.

Four men were shot, one fatally, in the Austin neighborhood early Sunday. Just before 3 a.m., five men were fighting inside a garage in the 5400-block of West Crystal Street when one of the men pulled out a gun and opened fire, according to Chicago police.

One man, 31, suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to Loyola University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

A teen boy was killed and another was injured in a Saturday afternoon shooting on Chicago's West Side, police said. Police said the shooting happened in the Fifth City neighborhood's 100 block of South Homan Avenue at about 4:45 p.m. Two teens, 14 and 15 years old, were struck by gunfire and transported to Stroger Hospital in critical condition.

Hours earlier, a man was fatally shot early Saturday in Auburn Gresham on the South Side. Police responded to a call of a person shot in the 1600 block of West 80th Street when they discovered a 58-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the chest shortly after midnight, according to Chicago police.

Stop and frisk worked.

Proactive policing and serious prosecution would make a difference.

But there is no interest in making a difference when a mayor is elected who is to the left of Beetlejuice.

Chicago is the current Beta Test Site for how the Progressive elites want the rest of us to live.

They are still tweaking the plan on how to bring the Chicago style African culture to all of what remains of middle class America.

Juneteenth is a holiday for demonstrating how many lives you own.

What they should but won’t do is make examples out of these gangs. Not only arrest the offenders but apply harsh punishments. Do it consistently and word gets around don’t mess with the law in Chicago or ‘you iz f’ed up’. They don’t respect what they don’t fear. Instill some fear as some major deterrents. Not gonna happen with DemoRat run hellholes.

And so responsible of you to step up and take full financial and emotional care of these children, sir. (applause)

Plan B: The taxpayers will foot the whole bill.


Great BB King song Downhearted (Aka How Blue Can You Get?)
Song by B.B. King
(final verse)
… I gave you a brand-new Ford
But you said, “I want a Cadillac”

I bought you a ten dollar dinner
And you said, “Thanks for the snack”

I let you live in my pent house
You said, “It was just a shack”

I gave you seven children
And now you wanna give ‘em back

Number of weekend Chicago shootings directly proportional to fahrenheit degrees multiplied by a factor determined by the significance of any holiday, fest, celebration etc going on.
