The worst day since they began keeping records in 1961, so who knows in how long.

Defund the police, things will get much better.

Should have noted the Chicago City Council has one independent alderman, who changed from Republican about 5 years ago. So they can’t elect many more Democrats, just room for one.

From 7 p.m. Friday, May 29, through 11 p.m. Sunday, May 31, 25 people were killed in the city, with another 85 wounded by gunfire, according to data maintained by the Chicago Sun-Times.

When gunshot victims exceed the number of covid cases, can we end the shutdown?

After 10 days of non-stop media, corporate, government and especially political #BLM propaganda turned on me like firehose, I’m finding it difficult to care about this.

Obviously the answer is to get rid of the police. Then peace will break out and thugs will lay down their arms and repent

“From 7 p.m. Friday, May 29, through 11 p.m. Sunday, May 31, 25 people were killed in the city, with another 85 wounded by gunfire, according to data maintained by the Chicago Sun-Times.”

Other than a very small percent of people discharging firearms in a less-than-ideal manner, Chicago was largely peaceful.

Social scientists need to study this.

What do they expect after electing an evil ghoulish angel of death as mayor who likes to say FU to the president. Tells the character of the people.

The Rev. Michael Pfleger, a longtime crusader against gun violence who leads St. Sabina Church in Auburn Gresham, said it was “open season” last weekend in his neighborhood and others on the South and West sides.
“On Saturday and particularly Sunday, I heard people saying all over, ‘Hey, there’s no police anywhere, police ain’t doing nothing,’” Pfleger said.
“I sat and watched a store looted for over an hour,” he added. “No police came. I got in my car and drove around to some other places getting looted [and] didn’t see police anywhere.”

Well Rev, be prepared to start calling your friendly neighborhood civil safety patrol when this shit happens...(yes, I think Chicago will go for abolishing the Police too....)

I really don’t give a dam(). Both the city government, the voters and those living in the murder zones have brought this on themselves. I’m moving along to other articles.

Not to worry; disband the police and all will be well as in unicorns and stuff.

Sure, defund the police and they’d be adding 2-3 zeros to the end of their weekend numbers.

And not a damn care in the world from Black Lives Matter for what were no doubt mostly black victims. Tells you something.
