CHICAGO, July 7 (UPI) --Over 60 people were victims of gun violence in Chicago over Fourth of July weekend, leaving 11 dead and police under heavy scrutiny.
The Chicago Police Department was directly involved in at least six of the shooting incidents, killing two people officials say were armed.

What was Rahm doing this w/e?
Many - if not most - of these crimes will quietly be dropped from the list of active cases over the next few weeks, and - later this year - erased permanently from city records, and removed from Chicago crime statistics for the year.
That’s how they roll in Rahm-cago.
And the LSM will declare that this didn’t happen when they had strict gun control in Chicago.
If shooting & killing one another is their way of celebrating the holiday, I'd say it was a grand celebration!
In the last 10 years:
American deaths in Afghanistan-————2,193
American deaths in Chicago-——————4,979
What does this tell you?
Gotta wonder how many homicide detectives there are in Chicagoland....

In a Democrat “Progressive” Paradise like Chicago, people don’t kill people: guns do. What I don’t understand is why Chicago doesn’t implement strict gun control to stop this madness. While they’re at it, they need to outlaw drugs too to put an end to the gang drug wars.
11 out of 60 dead....that’s not even above the Mendoza Line.
If you noticed the news reports earlier, the Department is trying to alter the definition of "weekend" again, cutting off the totals at 2359 hours Saturday and claiming that as a "weekend total" hoping that no one will remember Sunday numbers by the time next Saturday rolls around.The media isn't biting at that though, and has been reporting the usual numbers from Friday afternoon until Sunday evening. 60 is a lot, no matter how Rahm tries to spin it.
CompStat is going to be... interesting to say the least.
QUAGMIRE!
US OUT OF CHICAGO, NOW!
It’s just Chicago being Chicago.
Excellent and a great magazine series on the faked Chicago Police crime stats done by the Emanuel administration currently.

Something's got to be done about the Amish?
I’ve decided that I no longer want to win the lottery. What I would like is the exclusive contract to provide the yellow “Police Line. Do not cross” tape for the Chicago PD. At the rate they go through it I would be rich within the year.
Nothing, without adding the coalition casualties and the Afghan civilian casualties as well.
That's a rhetorical question I assume.Everyone in this nation who pays attention knows that members of the Rat Party hierarchy were on Martha's Vineyard.
Obama’s plan for all of America!
Liberals deliberately leave illegal guns in the hands of violent criminals, while plotting to seize them from non-violent, honest individuals.
