Thirty-eight people were shot, at least eight fatally, in gun-controlled Chicago over Memorial Day Weekend.
The murders are in line with what the city has witnessed over the past few years. ABC7 reports there were seven murders over the Memorial Day Weekend in 2017 and eight during the same weekend in 2016.
Chicagos overall murder rate is slightly lower than it was last year at this point. USA Today reports there have been 191 murders year-to-date, whereas there were 237 murders at this same time last year. However, the murder rate is still high enough that it puts Chicago on pace once again to record more homicides than any other American city.

That was 1968.
When does the “HOGGland express” leave for Chicago?
That works...
Have to admit...I like the fact they aren't.
Not in the Hoods where all of the shootings take place. The families don’t have the money to pay for the funerals, so they let Cook County bury them in Potter’s Field.
Oh? In L A the “hoods” have Funeral Homes which do quite well. I sang in a choir with a lovely young lady whose family owned one.
Maybe the SBA needs to talk to Rahm.
There’d have been more if some of the Chicago Brotha’s weren’t in Indy for the weekend where there were 15 shot, 5 of them killed.
They do take their beef (among other food) VERY seriously.
Really, unless you're a gang-banger or drug dealer, murder isn't in the cards for most of us.

This was about five ounces, ran be about $85 and was worth every penny.
Going in a little over a week, and Im going to do some major eating.
For all of the flaws, and there are many, Chicago is a world class food city.
Have fun. Stay safe.

Eight to thirty... That's pretty lousy shooting... Surly we can find some way to improve those numbers.. Free range time for Bangers, maybe...(and don't call me Surly)...

4th A ?
The Stock Yards Inn and Gerorge Diamonds burned decades ago. Nothing since...
Hmmmm, That should have been “surely”... Guess I blew that one.. And that was my best joke.. :(
“Gun-Controlled Chicago” Like that! Good going AWR.
