CHICAGO -- At least 38 people have been shot, seven fatally, across Chicago so far this weekend, police said.

A man was shot to death in his car early Sunday at a red light in River North.

The 24-year-old was stopped at the light about 3:30 a.m. in the 800-block of North Orleans Street when someone in a white SUV pulled up next to him and began shooting at him, Chicago police said.

Two Chicago Public Schools students were gunned down this weekend.

Hours before that shooting, police said, two other teenagers were shot at a North Austin park. Ashuntice Wilburn, 17, was killed.

"When I look back over her life, she was just starting her life," said Patty Ringo, Ashuntice's grandmother.

Hours before those shootings, a man was killed in a drive-by early Saturday in the Washington Heights neighborhood on the South Side.

The 34-year-old was standing on the street in the 8900-block of South Carpenter Street when someone in a car fired multiple shots just after 2 a.m., according to Chicago police.

The man suffered two gunshot wounds to the chest and one to each arm, police said. He was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he died.

Last weekend, police said at least 24 people were shot, three fatally, in gun violence across the city.

And only yesterday another Freeper commented, "--- "Sounds like those Rooski missiles have about the same lethality as Chicago gangbanger weekend shootings." ... "...killing 7, wounding 144."

¡Ay, caramba!

And it was a perfectly fine weekend in many other parts of the country to go to the range for trap or skeet or cowboy or rifle or pistol and safely enjoy the shooting sports.

Hey now, we don’t know for sure that all those that were shot and/or killed were definitely black... well, okay, it’s a pretty safe assumption.
Where are my reparations for all the unpaid medical bills, police investigations, incarceration, welfare, housing, etc.?

That’s odd—I saw nothing about this mass shooting in the mainstream media news.

How’s that new mayor working out for you?

And Labor Day weekend is coming up.

That’ll be a real bloodbath I guess.

--- Another mass murder by dark skinned people.

Is it not interesting that the major news industry cites race in some stories and consistently avoids mentioning race in others. Why, one could almost think there was an agenda....

Obviously, more range time is needed. Might I suggest using the early morning hours from noon to 2 p.m., right after they get out of bed, for some practice?
This could result in making those weekends far more productive, and increase Chicago’s street cred.

The scumedia, the politician and the race hucksters have chosen white people as the killers of black people, to ugly to look in side and face the truth

And unlike the 155mm shells shortage throughout the West, hand gun ammo is plentiful. Gosh, why even I have a supply here, though my pigment isn't approves these days....

Yeah, that's why the demoncrats find it necessary to bring in so many replacements for their narcotics business..

Pushing drugs is a dangerous business, but oh so profitable for the rats..$$$$$

Another weekend of normalcy in a Democrat run paradise, what’s new? Poor California has Hilary, Newscum and The Harry and Megan Show to try to deal with.

And her grandma’s last name is Ringo.

I think Ashuntice should have had that last name. Ashuntice Ringo. Rolls right off the tongue.

Nothing to see here boys and girls. Just another weekend in the combat zone, the free fire zone.
