Nearly 40 Shot In 3 Days In Chicago
OANN ^ | May 4, 2018

Posted on 05/06/2018 10:55:33 AM PDT by EdnaMode

New reports reveal a deadly wave of gun violence in Chicago. A 15-year old boy, a young mother, and even a four-year-old girl sitting on her porch have all been shot dead.

These are just a few of the nearly 40 people who were gunned down in Chicago over a mere three-day period this week.

This level of violence is usually not seen until the middle of summer in Chicago, but as temperatures reached into the 80’s this week criminals were drawn into the streets.

On Monday, one person was shot dead and nine others were wounded. A day later, 12 people were hit by gunfire in a 12-hour period.

However, Wednesday was the worst of all with at least 14 people shot in just nine-hours. This included a 15-year-old boy who was shot in the head while riding the bus home from school.

>>What do each of these things have in common?

Democrat leadership.<<

There is absolutely no doubt about this, and numerous statistical studies confirm it. Democrat politicians and programs have been tearing the country apart for 50 years. And those who have suffered the most because of it have been people of African descent.

>>There is no place in our “very civilized society” for guns. -Little Billy Nelson - (FL-Dummy).<<

Nelson is a moron and has it exactly backwards. History is replete with evidence that the most UNCIVILIZED societies in human history have been those in which citizens have NOT been armed.

Trump should declare it a failed city and declare Martial Law, Occupy the city, suspend all laws until order is established. Curfews, house to house search for illegal guns, Illegal gang bangers, Drugs, All things illegal. Mayor investigated—any corruption found—city leaders arrested. Clean sweep—make Chicago Safe again.

This is what the Democrats and Socialists/Communists want for the WHOLE country.

You're right. They want us begging for the boot to be applied to our faces in exchange for 'protection'...

“...the docs at Stroger are probably better than battlefield doctors who learned their skills in Iraq on GSW’s.”

The Navy put a college friend of mine through med school. He became an anesthesiologist and was based in San Diego. He got his ER training in LA because it had the most trauma (car wrecks) and gunshot practice on the West Coast. He said the armed services doctors do all their ER training for new residents at big city hospitals.

Unfortunately at that pace it’ll still take about 554 years to run out of people in Chicago.

My concern is that we're NOT stopping the chaos from extending beyond the cities. Sanctuary Cities allow invaders to stay, and the rest of the nation allows them to leave those cities. Failed cities suck up a fortune in benefits for their dysfunctional populations. And now there's a movement going on to dismantle the Electoral College, which would mean these cities would control all levels of government

Our population is being degraded. The nation's debt is possibly beyond repair. The cancer is spreading to ever more regions. How does anything except collapse of the nation save parts of it?

but......how can this be??? I thought there was strict gun control in Chicago. Surely that means guns aren’t available doesn’t it?

I know! Maybe they should pass more bans on guns. I’m sure murderers, rapists, burglars and drug dealers would respect those laws even though they don’t respect any of the other laws.

Yes, I fully understand and share your concerns. And I hate to have to say it, but truthfully I don’t hold out much hope that there will be any major reversal of our country’s downward spiral. Our current President will do his best to combat our adversaries, but it looks like a lost cause to me.

>>But those areas that are safe are getting smaller. Basically, anything south of North avenue in Chicago is “iffy”. 40 years ago, there were perfectly “good” neighborhoods, black and white, on the south side.<<

Yes, you make an important and ominous point. Thanks for describing the changes that have taken place in Chicago.
