At least 29 people have been wounded, three fatally, in shootings since midmorning Monday in Chicago, authorities said.

At 10:45 p.m., a 21-year-old man died after being shot in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side, police said.

The man was walking in the 5600 block of South May Street when someone in a passing black sedan fired shots, striking him in the left side, police said.

The man was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was initially listed in serious condition. He was later pronounced dead, said Officer Hector Alfaro, a police spokesman.

And 3 or 4 more folks were killed on Sunday. Chicago is probably having more killings per day now than it did back in the gangster era.

I really appreciate this daily update of Chicagostan. It’s tragic, but...so preventable. Any time my “liberal” friends voice their opinion on anything but especially gun control, I roll out the stats from Chicagostan. There has got to be a comprehensive website that tracks killings throughout USA, is there.

I use the same tactics when I get into arguments with my liberal friends in my alumni chat room. They also disagree with one of my solutions, to build more prisons to get gun offenders off the streets. The overcrowding of our prisons is appalling, leaving no room for true rehabilitation.
