5 killed per HeyJackass. I trust their numbers more than the Chicago PD’s.

The leftist moron Hogg is on his bike, riding to the scene to become a victim, as we speak.
More gun laws would certainly have prevented this, 4500 gun laws are just not getting it done.

Good news. As long as they are killing each other, why should anyone interfere? Stay away from them and their ghettos, mind your own white folks business, get some popcorn, and enjoy the show.

Nothing to see here ladies and gentlemen. Just another weekend in the combat zone, the free fire zone. Maybe Joe ought to fly up there on a Friday and have a “come to Jesus” meeting with them over the weekend.
