Honor the dead by joining them.
Sounds like a pretty quiet weekend in Chicagodishu.
NRA?
Trump?
Amish?
Bush’s fault?
Definitely a lack of gun control. Waste of ammo.
Is that a Frank Booth quote?
Yep.
Thought so. A strange flick, that one.
Wrong people are in the wrong city at the wrong time. How come the first family never vacations at their REAL HOME?

This year’s Memorial Day weekend was bloodier than in 2015, when 54 people were shot during the same period. But that weekend saw 12 people killed.
So far this year, 1,234 shootings have been recorded in Chicago, compared to about 800 by this time in 2015. This month has seen 307 shootings, compared to 255 last May.
Yep.
I prefer assisting this lady with proper firing technique..
Nice posterior, er, position.
But I thought that Chicago had some of the best gun control laws in the country?
More than 60 shot? What are we talking about here? 70, 80 or 100?
Yeah, me too!!
Murders are down because Chicago hospitals employ very experienced shock trauma ER doctors. They even train front line medics. Way to go Chicago.
