18 shot and only 2 fatally? The Ghetto thugs in Chicago need more range time.

Too bad none of those savages trying to block O’Hare last night caught bullets.

The result of identifying with a shameless, corrupt, anti-social, pro-violence, suicidal, satanic, voodoo culture, bereft of conscience.

Fake news!
Impossible!
Chicago has strict gun control.
And we all know gun control is safe and effective.

Quite accurately underscores the misapplication of the laws.

The guns are not the issue, the issue is inappropriate use by humans.

The correct solution would be to direct the laws to humans via very stiff penalties for such use. Add mandatory 20years to each crime and inappropriate use would cease almost overnight.

Merry Christmas, All!!

I just hate it when I get shot “in the 2400 block of West 55th Street”.

It really hurts in that area and I’d really prefer to be shot in the buttocks.

Not news worthy. The bar was lifted. I would say 50 would get attention for news reporting…. for a while

it was historically warm Christmas weekend, weather-wise.

All the young thugs come out into the streets and interact with each other

Christmas spirit. Good thing Santa wears a Kevlar vest now and the reindeer have the jackets K-9 dogs wear in crossfire incidents.

The tv ad for seasonings said the holidays will be a time of getting emotional. Wild rages and insane hostility while trading gunfire rounds are quite emotional.
