JTN: Chicago officials report the city’s highest number of shootings in a single weekend this year. From Friday evening to Monday morning, 102 people were shot, 14 of whom have died, five of those killed were minors.
Several teenagers died in alleys as a result of the rampant weekend violence. A toddler was killed on Saturday evening when he was struck in the back by a bullet as someone fired into his father’s car in Austin, on the West Side of the city.
Two teenage boys were sitting outside on a porch on Saturday evening when once noticed a red laser pointed at him and then gun shots began to ring out. Both were taken to Mount Sinai hospital and are in good condition.
Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said Sunday that violent offenders should be kept in jail for longer because the home monitoring system is not working. MORE HERE
14%. They suck.
Good start. But they gotta work harder to beat last year!
Go Obama’s sons
hey! if you can’t get shot on father’s day…..wtf!
A quarantine of Chicongo It is long overdue.
@ Brad,
That’s 13.72% better than 14…………….
I hope they were wearing their mask.
But NBC is trying SO HARD to portray Chicago as such a ‘has it together’ place with their programming: Chicago Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. Why isn’t it working?
I hope they were wearing their BLM t-shirts.
I’d be surprised if a single one of these shootings happened in a white neighborhood.
The coyotes of the southern border are missing a bet. They could probably make some money smuggling people out of Chicago to some place in the U.S.A.
Daddy issues? More like “whose my daddy” issues.
Thug 1 – “He my son.”
Thug 2 – “Dat some bullshit, Dionte my son.”
**gunshots**
The mayor should axe them to stop.
Note that Chicago has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country.
Do they celebrate “FATHER’S” day in Chitcago? 😳
I mean, ASIDE from “gunfire?” 😳 😳
They’re blaming their pathetic shooting on Social Distancing
Oh, how I love the Austin area of Shitcago. Such memories.
I used to live in Cicero, next to Shitcago. My VW Bug broke down on Cicero Avenue in the 70’s just before Madison. The CPD told us to get back in the car and not advertise our presence. Those wonderful cops drove us home. Bug was towed with no damage. But, while we were waiting we watched the rats scoping out an empty cash register at the dry cleaner.
Years later, in almost the same spot, I was the recipient of a ‘smash and grab’ while waiting at the light coming home from work.
My Grandmother used to take us to the theaters on Madison. We’d stop for Chinese take out before boarding the bus on the short drive back to Cicero. We also went to the park across from Loretto Hospital where the old ‘eye-talian’ guys played bocce ball. She spent some time at Loretto – diagnosed with cancer there. Many radiation treatments. That was many moons ago.
I lived through the protests in Cicero in the late 60’s with my Father keeping a machete on the floor next to the bed. I thought those were scary times, but we survived. No looting or burning.
Now, not so much. We need backbone more than ever.
If BLM really matters, then why aren’t they in Chicago right this very minute? Of course I know the answer to the question, and the answer is “the silence is deafening.”
There could be ‘204 shot this weekend’ double the figure and nothing will change in ‘Shitcago’! Can you imagine Frank Sintra singing Shitcago?

H/t to Anymouse and @Ramona! ;>)
Can someone please send this to Carpe or someone else?
@ghost
Sinatra is pronouncing it correctly. LMAO!
George Floyd got more press coverage than all the blacks killed in Chicago over the years combined by the MSM.
@r- I tend to agree…it’s a hellava town…
and btw, holy shithh…!
It’s all about pronunciation and words and intonation.
