CHICAGO -- At least 38 people have been shot, sevenfatally, in weekend shootings across Chicago, police said.

About 1:30 a.m. Saturday, two men were standing in a parking lot in the 7100-block of North Clark Street when a group of people fired shots at the pair, Chicago police said. One man, 37, was shot in the chest and taken to Saint Francis Hospital in Evanston, where he died, police said. The other man, 36, was shot in the abdomen and back and taken to the same hospital in critical condition, police said.

About 30 minutes later, a 30-year-old man was at a gathering in the 11800-block of South Hale Avenue when he was shot multiple times, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.

Around the same time, another man was standing with a "large group of people" in the 5200-block of West Ferdinand Street when someone opened fire, police said. He was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he died, police said.

About 4 a.m. Saturday, a fourth man, also 30, was found on the street with a gunshot wound in the chest in the 2400-block of West Ogden Avenue, according to police. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Chicago saw one of its most violent weekends of the year last weekend, with more than 60 people shot, including a 3-year-old girl, a 10-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl.

This terrible waste of ammunition is really pissing me off. When is Lori Lightintheloafers going to get off her ass and do something about it. We’re going to need this ammunition someday to shoot our way out of the Biden era communist mess.

You got it right there brother! The way I look at it the folks in Chicago are very poor shots. There really should be more dead don’t you think? I know I am heartless.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot told them to stop. They didn’t.
What’s the matter with people today?

There must be victim torso shaped bullet holes all over Chicago. 38 people hit but going to the hospital.
Only seven with dead bodies plopped under them.
Others taking up rooms in the hospitals until they get out to get revenge.
But that’s a story for next week’s episode of “My Kind of Town.”

This is worse than ANY school/mall shooting that usually gets the nation in an uproar..

But this is EVERY SINGLE weekend in Chicago - and the anti-gunners couldn’t care less.

Funny how that works..

Seems like the range is always open, right outside their doors. Heck seems like 3AM is the most popular time.

As per the website Hey Jackass, to date the percentage of those getting killed was 78.5 % Black and 16.6% Hispanic. I look at It as kind of a self-cleaning oven.
