Twenty people were shot, two fatally, across the city Friday night and Saturday morning.

The weekend's violence started about 6:20 p.m. Friday..........

[The article runs about 1000 words, listing locations and times of crimes, the sex and ages of casualties and where on their bodies everyone was shot]

Windage and elevation, you idiots - aim center mass.

Head and throat shots, to be sure.

“If it wasn't for the murders and woundings, the crime rate in Chicago would actually be pretty low.” Mayor Rahm Emanuel doing his ex-DC Mayor Marion Barry imitation. Chicago is on its way to being No. 1 as murder capital of the United States.

Hot Damn they are rolling up there. Getting rid of Obama votes right and left.

Hey Rahmbo, I realize you could probably care less about this (I say that because apparently you’re doing nothing about it), but I was wondering if y’all are having fun yet?

WHERE ARE THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS???

Chicago is on its way to being No. 1 as murder capital of the United States.

I've walked the streets of the Bronx a few times...at night...and they were paradise compared to the streets of Chicago.

If the 20 shootings were done by just one person, Barry would be there with the teleprompter and camera.

I think you've misunderstood his strategy....if Illinois was a swing state he'd be there.

Yeah, and Obama makes Romney look good. ///

That gun control stuff is sure working.../sarc

Sorry but the 40 or so shootings that happen in a typical Chicago weekend far exceed a typical week in Detroit.

Good afternoon, Ma’am.
Question.
Is there a ping list for these articles?
If there is, could I please be on it?
Have a good one, FRiend.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I believe there is a “banglist”.

I’ve flagged it, perhaps someone will come and add you.

They need the Homeboyz Nightsites that mount on the side of the slide for shooting sideways.
