I don’t understand. Why aren’t these people obeying the anti-gun laws in ObamaLand?

[whitedog57]

No hoodies from Bobby Rush?

Chicago is more dangerous than Afghanistan.

[Mr. Wright]

We can expect the arrival of Sharpton and Jackson any time now. Oh, sorry, black on black crime. No need for the Righteous Brothers.

[cuban leaf]

That is a lot of shootings for a place with such strict gun laws.

Oh, and GET OFF MY GRASS!

[Don Corleone]

Chicago=Detroit but on steroids!

[Baynative]

These serial postings of Chicago violence are amazing, even to those of us who expect a certain amount of inner city mayhem in America.

This has all the essentials for a TV series to rival Cops or 48 Hours.

Between Chicago, Atlanta, and Detroit, the UN ‘peacekeepers’ will have to be called out. All the test score cheating is producing too many grad-e-ation parties....

Will Snake Plissken be Escaping From Chicago ?

[certrtwngnut]

These guys are making the Capone era look like a walk in the park.

[MNDude]

well, that’s too bad, but we’ve really got to get a handle on all the problems white racism is creating for black Americans.

This may be pretty close:

10 less Obama voters?

Someone get me a tissue.

[blueunicorn6]

Emanuel has two new crime reducing strategies?

1. Don’t call it crime. Call it redistribution of money and air.

2. Blame it on the Republicans.

Oh Rahm, dance little ballerina, dance.

[ScottinVA]

Rahm should use the same “logic” for Chicago as Marion Barry did for D.C.: “Outside of the killings (along with robberies, carjackings and non-lethal shootings), Chicago has one of the lowest crime rates in the country.”

[Charles Martel]

10 less Obama voters?

We wish. If anything, the probability of their voting in November just increased.

I wonder if UPS or FedX will deliver cases of ammo and just leave it on the side of the street in some urban wonderland part of Chicago?

If drive-by shootings were a recognized sport, Boy Zer0 might’ve been able to land the Olympic Games for Chicago after all.
