Chicago's grim crime-ridden year continued its familiar path over the Christmas weekend and into Monday, with three people fatally shot and 22 injured in a city run by woke Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
Murders are at a 25-year high, with 793 recorded so far in a city with 2.7 million people. By comparison, New York City, which has a population of more than eight million, has had 479 murders to date.
On Christmas Day, 24-year-old Giovanni Lozano was found dead with a gunshot wound to his head in Logan Square on the Northwest Side at 10:40pm.
On December 26, Clifford Jeffrey, 37, was shot and killed at 3:20pm in East Garfield Park. And Monday, a 30-year-old man was fatally shot as he walked on the sidewalk in Little Village on the Southwest Side. His name has not yet been released.
Lightfoot has not commented on the Windy City's carnage, instead posting a video wishing residents a happy Kwanzaa - the African American and Pan-African holiday created in 1966, and celebrated from December 26 until January 2.
'Joyous Kwanzaa, Chicago,' said Lightfoot, sitting beside her wife Amy Eshleman.
'Amy and I wish to extend a very beautiful and prosperous Kwanzaa to all of you celebrating this season.'
Eshleman added: 'As you light the candles and gather in unity, we hope your holiday is filled with rejoicing and happiness.'
Lightfoot continued: 'The seven principals of Kwanzaa guide us to unity and cooperation as we work to uplift and protect our neighbors.
'As you prepare for your Kwanzaa celebrations, I urge you to keep these values in mind, but also maintain COVID-19 safe celebrations.'
The pair then urged those who were not vaccinated to get their COVID shot, and those sick to stay at home.

Kwanza? I saw a video earlier the Chicago checks at the mayors office bounce. Lightfoot is signing bad checks. She’s a sick evil woman.

Hey Jackass has the running tally at 840.
Its occurring all over America, but Blacks in particular are being led down a path of post-modern destruction
You don’t need real education - you have CRT
you don’t need Christianity - you have fakery like Kwaanzaa
you don’t need families - you have the state and abortion.
Come on Chicago, I know you can make 800 Shot & Killed for the year.
That’s a slow weekend for little Haiti 🤪
Kwanzaa - It is a deflection from the out of control crime in Chicago. Read CWB Chicago for the true story of Chicago crime.
The Wild West was safer.
12% ratio? More range time bruthas, more range time!
I love that reply.
And choose as your heroes felons and drug dealers.
Simple, clear, praiseworthy reply. Obianuju Ekeocha, God bless and keep you this Christmastide and throughout the new year.
“As you light the candles and Gather for Funerals...”

Another Kwanzaa Miracle!
Even out in a suburb nearby, Oak Brook, we had a gun fight break out in an area mall.
Oak Brook is a well-off community, so it was a shock.
Chicago’s elites bury their heads in the sand and pretend it’s not happening. They’re all walled off from the riff-raff anyway, so as far as they’re concerned, it’s not their problem.
The bruthas need to stop holding their pistols sideways.
