Only 4 and 34? The weather may have had something to do with the low numbers, I think they had a lot of rain this weekend.......
Just a few Africans having a good time.
Must be pretty safe during the week. All we get is weekend reports.
4 dead in St. Louis also, nothing said about that!
The last line of the article: “Follow city violence with the Chicago Sun-Times weekend shootings tracker.”
Kinda says it all when your hometown paper can maintain a “weekend shootings tracker.” Chicago: another democrat party success story - machine politics at its best!
http://heyjackass.com/ shows a count of 5 for the weekend.
Pat and Vanna were in Chicago last week with Wheel of Fortune.
Hope they made it out alive...guess I’ll find out tonight at 7:30pm.
Of course, the new legislation planned to shut down all gun dealers will immediately put a halt to all of these MurderDeathKill incidents.

No Whitey to blame, so not in the news.
If only the national guard had pulled the trigger we’d have a new Neil Young song!
The old vaudeville and radio comedian Fred Allen was playing a theater in Chicago in the 1920’s. He voice was hoarse and he explained to his audience that it came from screaming all the way back and forth from his hotel to the theater.
So if Pat and Vanna are hoarse....
Seems that walking was a deadly endevor this week. See how the month closes out. I predict with a bang as the holiday approaches.
The scariest thing is Detroit and Camden NJ are still more violent than Chicago. Chicago isn’t even top five most dangerous cities in the US. Imagine that. All the stories you hear about the violence, and there are still cities in the US worst than Chicago.
And all those violent cities have been ran by dems for decades.
worst city in the US for violence.
Pat is a Chicago native
Slow weekend in the slaughter house of the midwest, eh?
Crips and Bloods are Terrorist alongside MS13. Sidestep Rham-alam-a-ding-dong. Put these scum on the terror watch list and send in the Feds.
“Pat is a Chicago native”
I can’t remember if he mentioned that...my mind is going...I think he did. I do remember seeing his picture on the wall of a radio station where he DJ’d. The station was in the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville.
