The beat goes on.

[coalminersson]

With the great gun control laws and the new mayor, can't wait till they clean this up

[dsrtsage]

Must be those super dangerous supremiest MAGA teens I keep hearing about

[FlingWingFlyer]

Why is it that 4, 5, 6, and 7 year olds can kill each other with guns but big humans couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn with one?

[gibsonguy]

They just need more social workers on the job

[coalminersson]

i see a large percentage of wounds and not kills in these chicago weekly reports. Maybe we could make money doing range training for gangsters.

[econjack]

But...but...didn’t Mayor Johnson say he would put an end to the violence?

[coalminersson]

maybe his approach is to hope the bad guys will all be shot and then a glorious new day will dawn.

[Huskrrrr]

Meet the new boss....

[xp38]

campaign mode and administrative mode are very different

[Angelino97]

i see a large percentage of wounds and not kills

And each of those wounded go to a taxpayer funded emergency room.

These stats probably rival a normal weekend between major battles of the War Between the States.

47 shot and only 5 dead?

Don’t think the kids get much range time. Too expensive? Could be.

You know what?
I think that there's something really fishy with this Chicago Report each week.
Look at this week. 47 shot and 5 fatalities. That's pretty much how it goes every week.
The “teens” involved in this gun play each week are truly poor marksmen. I'm not wishing for more fatalities, I'm simply saying that the numbers just seem odd.
Seldom are there more than 5 killed during a weekend regardless of the number wounded.
I would think that just as a matter of chance there would be weekends with a higher fatality total.
This might sound strange, and I have no idea why or how anyone would try to influence this crisis, but with the way chit happens now it is surly possible.

[coalminersson]

of course we would apply to biden for tax payer funding

[coalminersson]

the thing I notice is they do “weekend”numbers and not for the entire 7 days. I see these every week and i have seen some numbers all over including a few 1s on the death side. They usually run in the high 20s shootings and single digits deaths.

[JeanLM]

Does any source post pictures or a breakdon by race?

My guess is Black Lives don’t matter in these statistics.

[FiddlePig]

So in libspeak we could report there was five “lynchings” and 47 attempted “lynchings” in Chicago last weekend, as a lynching is defined as the wrongful death of a person without legal trial.

“At least 47 shot, 5 fatally, in weekend shootings across city”

This looks like the average weekend toll for ChiTown.
Rack em’ and stack ‘em.

[econjack]

I remember him saying we don’t need more police, we need more social workers. He delusional...
