Here's something Chicagoans can celebrate. Or is it?
Police Supt. Garry McCarthy announced Thursday the city of Chicago went 24 hours without a murder or shooting. Wednesday marked Chicago's first shooting- and murder-free day for almost a year. Early 2011 was the last time the city was this still, McCarthy said.

This is quite an accomplishment. Maybe one of the fast food franchises should give everyone in Chicago a free burrito or small fries with the purchase of a large drink.

They’ve switched to piano wire and better body hiding techniques, probably.

I think just to shoot someone in Chicago, you have to hire two union killers, and pay-off a local Alderman. And more than that, to keep from getting arrested.

I wonder if this has to do with the SOPA protest. Maybe even Chicago murderers are outraged by PIPA and SOPA.

And, 911 phone service will be restored by tomorrow morning. That was laugh out loud funny!
They'll probably add this: Please bring out your dead for tomorrow morning's collection.

Don’t worry. They’re just getting ready for the weekend.
As Mary Katherine Stewart said in “Night of the Comet”, “that (gun) is for Friday night in the barrio”.
How about “We’re just living for the weekend?” (Loverboy).

Yes, check your basement, aunty. THere are 13 bodies in the Panama Canal.
Guess which movie that came from.
