The weekend has just started.

If the weather is good by noon Sunday they may break the record.

Gun laws are not working, huh? Perhaps it is time for... "double secret probation?"

The liberal north side yuppies need to practice laying down on a sidewalk and screaming: I eat Aunt Jemima pancakes every Thursday.

It might save their lives.

Chicago is Obama’s hometown. Chicago is the Democrats’ turf. Chicago is the crown jewel in King Obama’s crown. Why are the Democrats not called on their murderous cities? What are the stats on murder in U.S. cities with Democrat mayors as compared to U.S. cities with Republican mayors?

or.. "reporting" done in the patented genre of NBC's cherry bomb reporting, Headline:

Some wonder: Are the killings done by racist whites in blackface?

MSM motto: If at first it don't seethe try, try again until you make it seethe.
