At least 33 people have been shot in Chicago so far this Fourth of July weekend, most of them in traditionally violent neighborhoods on the South and West sides despite stepped-up police patrols in those areas.

Between Sunday afternoon and early Monday, 13 people were shot over 17 hours in the city. They included a 15-year-old boy shot in the foot, a 16-year-old hit in the elbow, a 17-year-old wounded in the thigh, and a woman hit in the chest by a bullet fired through the window of a home.

Remember, Black Lives Matter, unless they are shot by other blacks.

And don’t forget they abort their kids too. BLM’s don’t matter in that case.

And this is with an unseasonably cool temps weekend up there.

Or if you get a $165,000 a year No Work/No Show sham job, paid for by taxpayers.

Cricket chirps are emanating from the white mosque.

I know they can make 76. This is the Fourth, after all.

Just for perspective, roughly 8 soldiers a day were killed during the Vietnam War.

Unless a white person had anything to do with any of these shootings, they don't matter.
Case closed.

Alright, I am fed up! The NRA gun owners in Chicago must be stopped... ;/

Little Village, Roseland, Gresham, Lawndale, East Garfield Park and Englewood — neighborhoods with troubling rates of gun violence, according to data collected by the Tribune.

LOL, these are ALL black neighborhoods, but most would probably have guessed that.

Chiraq should consider banning holiday weekends.

33 shot so far and the weekend isn’t over yet........

Ah, Chicago, “The Killin Town”.

[leaning conservative]

D**n, just d**n!

[AZLiberty]

What’s a Fourth of July without fireworks?

Trouble is, it seems like Chicago celebrates the Fourth of July this way every weekend (unless the temperature is below zero).

If there was ever proof that “gun control laws” don’t work, it is Chicago every day. (I’m sure all of the shooters had legal carry permits. /s) When the laws stop the shooting in Chicago, then I’ll (maybe) listen. It should be our bellweather every day proving gun control failure.
