you’re living (?) proof of what a wonderful idea ‘gun control’ is (sarcasm!!!!!)
and
you’re helping solve the ‘global warming’ problem and the “overpopulation” problem and overcrowding, too... and you’re lowering the welfare case load, too!
keep it up, Chi-Town! /s

Chicago thugs need to FOCUS their efforts and try harder.
There is no reason they can’t reach their goal of 725 by end of next month.

“Only 600?”
Wait, their not done yet by my calculation.
(607 / 52) * 6 = 70.04 or 70
Looks like they’re on track for 677 year end.

How can they possibly write that it’s for only the second time, like that’s a great thing? Ridiculous reporting

They are giving a new meaning to “blackjacking”.

Guessing most of those are gangstas. Good. That’s 600 fewer thugs on the streets and making little baby thugs.
