At least 63 individuals were shot and eight were killed over the weekend in gun-controlled Chicago.
According to the Chicago Tribune, over half the shootings occurred within “13 hours from Saturday to early Sunday.” This was followed by the shooting of 16 people during the day on Sunday, and three of the victims were shot on the same street—South Austin.
The weekend violence brings gun-controlled Chicago’s homicides to 451 for the year, which is only 16 homicides short of where Chicago was this time last year. Chicago ended2016 with nearly 800 homicides and roughly 4,400 total shooting victims.
The weekend violence also makes August 18-20 second only to the Fourth of July weekend for bloodshed and mayhem this year. Breitbart News reported more than 100 people were shot over the Fourth of July weekend and the Chicago Sun-Times reported that 36 of those victims “[were] shot across the city in an 8-hour span of violence between 8 p.m. Tuesday and 4 a.m. Wednesday.” Six of the victims shot during that eight-hour span lost their lives.
To date, Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s (D) response to the violence and death has been to push for more gun control and to fight concealed carry for law-abiding citizens.
Another one bites the dust not official talking point
A nuther weekend of Black Lives Don’t Fukin Matter (BLDFM) in the record books!
Statues!
Chicago is a self cleaning ghetto.
And the democRATS play on as their
Constituents die.
Stiffer gun legislation would cure this problem. 🙂
There is no lower sub-human POS than the worthless asshole Mayor of Chicago. The Mayor of NY is a close second.
If Rahm was a Republican he would not be eligible for parole for another 17 years.
How many were BLM folk?
A note to the Pentagon. If COIN doesn’t work in Chicago why do you think it will work in Afcrapistan?
Well, at least, once they are dead, they won’t forget to vote.
Weekend at Rahm’s
That right there is stealth white supremacy.
Keep up the good fight, whitey.
On a side note; 63 shot but only 8 killed?
Seems to be a horrendous lack of accuracy…
Chicago is a piker when it comes to murder rates. At 2016 numbers it was
about 27/100,000. St. Louis #1, (Ferguson area) was 59/100,000. Baltimore #2, at 51/100,00.
Here ya go…

I assume it is criminals shooting other criminals, so good.
Somebody last week (?) brought up a very good point. Were it not for the amazing advances in medical technology over the last few decades, the number of shootings resulting in death would be much higher. 1970s medicine was a lot less sophisticated and successful.
The only way to solve this is to have the mayor walk thru worst neighborhoods at night with a white flag.
Blacks comprise 32% of Chicago’s population and if you run the numbers with say, 150 blacks killed every week it will take 28 years for there to be no more blacks in Chicago. That is why BallerinaBoy is winking.
This is so typical for Chicago why does it even get reported to the rest of the country? Hey, it’s not news!!!
9 dead in Chicago and not a peep, but one run over in Charlottesville and the press get hysterical. Dare we say it’s because the MSM considers one white worth more than 9 black?
We’ll never know how many of them are/were illegal aliens because Democrats.
Bullets are Participation Trophies in Chicongo….everybody gets one
Could even be more deaths. The Po Po’s only count murders, the Coroner counts Homicides. Figure 50 more. Chicongo does not count murders on state highways, nigbees justifiably killed by cops, self defense, those shot late in December but don’t die until January, and who knows how many other deaths are hidden.
