CHICAGO -- At least 19 people have been shot, four fatally, in weekend gun violence across Chicago, police said.

Two men were shot to death Friday night about 20 minutes apart on the West Side. Around 10:35 p.m., a 40-year-old man was shot and killed while standing outside in the 200-block of North Saint Louis Avenue. A gunman exited an SUV and shot the man multiple times. About 20 minutes later, a 33-year-old man was found in a yard in the 1000-block of North Central Avenue with a gunshot wound to the chest. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he died hours later.

Another two men were fatally shot late Sunday in Greater Grand Crossing on the South Side. The men, 42 and 33, were shot multiple times around 11:50 p.m. while in the 7000-block of South King Drive, police said. The 33-year-old man tried driving to a hospital, but he struck another car in traffic, causing minor injuries to a male and female, who were hospitalized in good condition. Both men who were shot were taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where they died.

In non-fatal attacks, four people were wounded in a shooting at a South Shore restaurant Saturday night. Three gunmen got out of a car around 9 p.m. in the 2400-block of East 72nd Street and opened fire from outside the restaurant, striking the four who were inside, police said.

Sunday morning, a man was shot and seriously wounded in the West Loop. The 26-year-old was outside about 4:30 a.m. in the 200-block of North Aberdeen Street when he heard gunshots and felt pain, police said. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital with two gunshot wounds to the leg.

Last weekend, at least 13 people were shot in Chicago, police said.

Why do Chicago turd rollers refer to people violence as being “gun violence”? Afraid to hurt some maggot’s feelings? Guns are inanimate objects that are not violent at all. Those people need to start cutting back on recreational drugs. They’re thinking really weird sh**.

If only they had the “toughest” gun control laws in the nation and lots of gun free zones...

Oh wait...

When you hold a gun sideways and above your head, you can’t aim very well...

Disgraced mayor Light-in-the-Loafers Lightfoot got the boot from the voters, but she's still an incumbent for a period of time. Hope her opportunities for further destruction of the city of Chicago are as limited as her brain power.

In the ‘Hood, image is everything. You can drive an old Covair as long as you jangle when you walk.

I was just thinking the same thing. These are rookie numbers because it was still cold as hell this weekend in Chicago, the Homies don’t tend to be out when they can see their breath.

Wait until July or August, then we will see the true South Chicago Urban Dwellers come out to play for real.

Gun violence=blacks

But according to the MSM, blacks aren't responsible for their actions.

The reason they hold the gun sideways, because that’s how they take it out of the box./s

How about this as a “traveler’s tip of the week?”: Do Not Stand Outside At Night Or Early Morning!
