chicago tribune-

In a period of a little over 24 hours this weekend, 24 people were shot in Chicago, including three children under 13 — and three of the adults shot died from their injuries, according to police.

Beginning at 4 a.m. Saturday through about 10 a.m. Sunday, Chicago police were investigating shooting cases that included the homicides and a mass shooting of six people outside an afternoon baby shower in West Englewood in which an 8-year-old boy was shot in the chest and back and a 10-year-old girl was struck in the shin.

Three people also were shot in East Garfield Park about 3:30 a.m. Sunday as they stood outside in the 3900 block of West Wilcox Street. A 34-year-old was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital with a gunshot wound to the right leg; a 26-year-old was taken to Norwegian American Hospital with a gunshot wound to his right foot; and a 33-year-old was taken to Rush University Medical Center for a gunshot wound to his left arm.

  1. This reminds me of a shithole we called “The Flat Tops”. It was originally WW2 barracks that were abandoned and resold as super low income shanties. There was more grass on the rooves than the yards of these homes. In the cold months the place seemed abandoned, (except for the expensive automobiles parked everywhere) but in the warmer months the place swarmed with inhabitants. Every yard had 10 to 20 inhabitants lolling in plastic chairs, drinking whiskey and beer whilst 50 little kids swarmed, screamed, and wreaked havoc upon the earth.

  2. Elections have consequences.
    The electorate gets what they endorse.

    “Gee! Instead of dishonesty and corruption I’m voting for MORE dishonesty and corruption!”
