Two men killed about 10 minutes apart brought the Thanksgiving weekend tally to eight fatal shootings.

In all, at least 61 people were shot in attacks across the city over four-day holiday weekend, according to Chicago Police.

Last year, 8 people were killed and 20 were wounded in shootings during the same holiday weekend, beginning at 7 p.m. the day before Thanksgiving.

Just BLM giving thanks, because they weren’t shot by racist white policemen.

Chicago needs to be walled off until the current population expires.

The bro’s and the ho’s needs target practice!

[ColdOne]

You know that is a wonderful idea.

At this rate that will be what, 3 weeks?

[Alas Babylon!]

This is like the daily body count at the nadir of the Iraq War—but the Chicago murders NEVER end!

Long long past time fir Illinois to repeal ‘”gun control”(sic)! Which only controls firearms so that only the dangerous criminals and terrorists have easy Unimpeded access to them — “gun control” works to turning honest citizens into defenseless sitting ducks, targets for the Moslem terrorists and hard core criminals obama’s been flooding our society with

I hope Dead Fish has a nice long reign in Chicago.. It’ll turn R eventually,,, as they’ll be the only voters left.. besides dead ones.

Uh, they did.

McDonald vs. City of Chicago.

Obamistan.

[ColdOne]

The body count for Vietnam too.

[tumblindice]

KIAs the same, but the casualty count tripled.

[faithhopecharity]

a good case, yes indeed, but Illinois still has a LOT of firearms laws/regulations that still infringe on citizens’ rights to acquire, keep, and bear arms

[Lurker]

Not really. There is no state wide “assault weapon”’ ban, no magazine capacity restrictions, no ban on .50 calibers. Any law abiding resident can get a CCL, although the cost is unreasonable in my view.

But Illinois is nowhere near as bad as New York, Massachusetts, or California. Not even close.
