Report: 59 Shot, 3 Killed, over Weekend in Mayor Lightfoot’s Chicago
Breitbart ^ | 27 Jul 2020 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 07/27/2020 8:02:41 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Late Sunday night NBC 5 reported at least 49 people had been shot, two fatally. By Monday morning the Chicago Sun-Times reported nearly 60 shot with three fatalities.

NBC 5 noted that weekend shootings began Friday with a non-fatal incident just after 5 pm, when two individuals were shot while standing in a gas station parking lot “in the 800 block of West 59th Street.”

Less than 30 minutes later a 19-year-old was shot and left in serious condition while sitting on a porch on West Cullerton. The violence continued from there.

On Tuesday, Mayor Lightfoot acknowledged President Trump would be sending in federal agents to help curtail the gun violence that has surged in Chicago throughout this year. But the Chicago Tribune reported Lightfoot made clear she will be ready to use the courts to stop the use of federal agents if she believes the Trump administration overreaches.

Small staff in Chicago. After their fingers, off go the shoes and socks, but then they can't count further.

Someday they'll buy one of those Radio Shack Tandy computers with cassettes. Until then, weekends are the limit.

Wow...... the Chicago Saturday night murder rate was reduced by a whopping 66% over the last Saturday night.

Lightfoot must be doing something right /S

Apparently taking down two Statues of Christopher Columbus has really messed with the Criminals Kill versus Injury Rate.

Anyone know why a Black Bolshevik Lesbian Dwarf has the Native American sounding last name “Lightfoot” or did she Marry a Native American Lesbian with that last name?

These numbers are meaningless to voters of Chicago. They’ll re-elect Lightfoot.

Who cares? When the people get tired of it they will stop it. If they don’t get tired of it, sooner or later, they will run out if bodies, Peace and quiet will reign once more.

He’s got all the stats.
The ambient air temperature has a direct correlation to the violence in Chiraq.
In the winter the murder rate slows.
It’s been really hot this summer so more murders.

They use a lot smaller caliber weapons. .25 .32 etc.
In addition to a lack of proper technique.

Hmmm, let this go on long enough and we can just erase Chicago from the map. Good for humanity, true progress, and evolution.
