This is very sad. 55 shots fired and only 11 fatalities. These people need some range time. 11 for 55 is nothing to brag about.

Our nation pays a horrific price for what the democrats have done to the inner-city. Millions, yes millions, of American children are and have been written off as collateral damage with violent communities, a failing education system, and broken families because one political party has a stranglehold on them and they shut out all other voices with stupid labels or some kind of fake understanding.

It makes me very angry.

These children are Americans. They have potential. They deserve far better than the failed policies that support democrat politicians, democrat unions, and a false narrative that you and I can’t or don’t care because of our appearance.

It is past time to try something new. We continue fueling the failure with more tax money but without safe communities, school choice, and incentivizing family we will continue to read this article every week.

I let my 15 and 13 year olds out after midnight! Don’t you?

Those Ultra MAGA, white supremacists and nationalists were busy over the weekend. We can be thankful that Trump didn’t have a rally until Saturday night. It could have been much worse.

In the same country, a different world. 13 year old and 1:30am can’t happen at the same time. But it happens in Chicago. Sad, helpless and hopeless. I kind of sympathize with lightfoot. Clearly it’s way beyond her. What does it matter? Lightfoot got right skin and gender in right time of America

Notice that Miami is not on the list. Oh, my bad. Miami has a Republican mayor and the lowest per capita murder rate since the the 1930’s.

You have to understand, the left loves this carnage. Death and destruction taste as good as gelato to them. It serves their purposes.

RE: 20% success rate.

Still wild.

They have no regard for their own neighbors who may be hit.

Remembering earlier story:Aug.29, 2022
(WLS TV News)
CHICAGO — A five-year-old boy shot was shot in the head and critically injured in Rogers Park Sunday night just days after starting his first day of school, his family said.

Police said the boy was taken in critical condition after being shot while sitting in a car visiting his mother while saying goodbye to his father, who was also wounded in the shooting.

A $3,000 reward is now being offered for information that leads to an arrest in the shooting.

So far this year, 238 minors have been shot in Chicago, with 32 killed.

The little boy, Devin McGregor, was shot in the head in the 7600-block of North Paulina Avenue in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood.

Wow. That is quite a Butcher’s Bill.

To hear Chicago Police's David Brown tell it, shootings were down 20% from labor day last year.
