Nearly 100 people have been shot in Chicago in less than a week, pushing the number of shooting victims so far this year to more than 2,500 - about 800 more than this time last year, according to data kept by the Tribune.
Between last Friday afternoon and early Thursday, at least 99 people were shot in the city, 24 of them fatally.

Illinois is near the top of the heap in that regard. It seems to have a highly disprortionate number of heathen a-holes per my own personal experience dealing with them. The only ones I've found to be okay are one's that moved from there because even they couldn't take it liivng there.
I think the “Occupy” crowd should put together a group of volunteers to travel to Chicago and forcibly take the guns away from those thugs.
I bet all of the shooters were white cops in blackface.
Ditto.
