    Fights break out at malls across United States

    Source: CNN.com
    Disturbances that included gunfire, massive brawls and food-court fights played out at more than a dozen malls across the country in what proved to be a chaotic day after Christmas.

    The disturbances, some of which were captured on social media, prevented some shoppers from clearing off clearance racks and returning Christmas gifts as they intended.

    The mall incidents, which ranged from minor melees to mass evacuations, occurred nationwide from Colorado to Tennessee, Texas to New Jersey. Here's what happened at six of those malls.

    Although not mentioned in the article, Destiny USA - the mall in Syracuse NY, also had a huge fight broken up: http://www.localsyr.com/news/local-n...onse/631922716

    Was something posted on social media that caused this?
    Could it have been a Donald Trump Tweet

    Christmas in Chicago...

    Nearly 50 People Shot in Chicago Over Holiday
    December 27, 2016 — Five people were wounded in shootings in Chicago early Monday, bringing to almost 50 the number of people shot in the city since Christmas weekend began Friday afternoon.
    Much of the violence happened in areas “with historical gang conflicts on the south and west side of Chicago,” said Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for the Chicago Police Department. He also referred to the department’s “strategic subject list,” which is generated daily from a computerized algorithm and assigns a score from 1 to 500 based on such factors as a person’s arrests and the activities of his or her associates. Those people with a score in the upper 200s or higher are considered in danger of being shot or of shooting someone else. “Ninety percent of those fatally wounded had gang affiliations, criminal histories and were pre-identified by the department’s strategic subject algorithm as being a potential suspect or victim of gun violence,” Guglielmi said.


    A woman talks with members of the Chicago Police Department at the scene where at least six people were shot, one fatally, on the 8600 block of South Maryland Avenue on Dec. 25.

    The shootings Monday included a man shot in each leg in the North Lawndale neighborhood, a man shot in the hand in Englewood and two people in the Park Manor neighborhood who were shot, one in the head, authorities said. Monday morning’s shootings came after two brothers were killed and five other people were wounded while shooting dice at a family Christmas party in East Chatham late Sunday. That shooting, and the others Sunday, added to the tolls this year in Chicago, where more than 700 homicides have been recorded and more than 4,000 people have been shot—a level of violence not seen in Chicago since the late 1990s. Last year, 488 people were killed in Chicago.

    Black community backlash provokes police enforcement slowdown...

    1 of Chicago's bloodiest years ends with 762 homicides
    January 1, 2017 — One of the most violent years in Chicago history ended with a sobering tally: 762 homicides, the most in two decades in the city and more than New York and Los Angeles combined.
    The nation's third largest city also saw 1,100 more shooting incidents last year than it did in 2015, according to data released Sunday by the Chicago Police Department. The statistics underline a story of bloodshed that has put Chicago at the center of a national dialogue about gun violence. The numbers are staggering, even for those who followed the steady news accounts of weekends ending with dozens of shootings and monthly death tolls that hadn't been seen in years. The increase in homicides compared to 2015, when 485 were reported, is the largest spike in 60 years. Police and city officials have lamented the flood of illegal guns into the city, and the crime statistics appeared to support their claims: Police recovered 8,300 illegal guns in 2016, a 20 percent increase from the previous year.

    Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said during a news conference Sunday that Chicago is among many U.S. cities that have seek a spike in violence, including in attacks on police. He said anger at police, including in the wake of video released that showed a white Chicago officer shooting a black teenager 16 times, has left criminals "emboldened" to violent crimes. He also said it's becoming clearer to criminals that they have little to fear from the criminal justice system. "In Chicago, we just don't have a deterrent to pick up a gun," he said. "Any time a guy stealing a loaf of bread spends more time pre-trial in jail than a gun offender, something is wrong."

    Johnson, who has for months complained about Illinois' lax gun laws, said he thinks more and more gang members are arming themselves because the price for being caught is small compared to other large cities. He said gang members he has spoken to consider the court system "a joke." The bulk of the deaths and shooting incidents, which jumped from 2,426 in 2015 to 3,550 last year, occurred in only five of the city's 22 police districts on the city's South and West sides, all poor and predominantly black areas where gangs are most active. Police said the shootings in those areas generally wasn't random, with more than 80 percent of the victims having previously been identified by police as more susceptible because of their gang ties or past arrests.

    What if Rahm and the Bamster decided to go door to door on the Southside and confiscate all of those illegally obtained weapons?

    Chicago Shooting Captured Live on Facebook...

    Chicago Shooting Captured on Facebook Live
    February 16, 2017 - In a shooting caught on Facebook Live, a 2-year-old boy and a 26-year-old man were killed and a pregnant woman was wounded when a gunman opened fire as they drove down an alley in Lawndale on Tuesday afternoon.
    "Call 911! They killed him. ... I have a bullet in my stomach," the woman screams as she runs from the car and into a house in the 2300 block of South Kenneth Avenue around 1:30 p.m. "Please, please, I can't breathe," she says. "Oh my God, please don't, Lord, I can't go. I can't go." Seconds earlier, the woman had been posting video on Facebook Live as she drove with her boyfriend at her side and the toddler, Lavontay White Jr., in the backseat. In the video, the couple are singing along to music when several shots are fired at the car. Lavontay and the man were both hit in the head, according to police. Superintendent Eddie Johnson said paramedics were able to revive the boy at the scene, but he was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital, as was the man.

    The woman, 20, and her fetus were both listed in fair condition at Mount Sinai Hospital. Family members said the baby was about four months along and was expected to survive. The woman told police they were driving in the alley when a car blocked them behind an AC Delco Auto Electronics shop. A gunman got out and opened fire, police said. No one was in custody late Tuesday afternoon, but investigators suspect the man was the intended target. "We have very promising leads, we have video," Johnson said. "There's no doubt in my mind that we'll find him." The boy was the second child to die Tuesday from Chicago gunfire. Takiya Holmes, 11, died Tuesday morning from wounds suffered in a shooting Saturday. A second girl wounded over the weekend, Kanari Gentry Bowers, 12, remained in critical condition and on life support Tuesday.

    In the Facebook Live video, the woman pulls into an alley and then looks to her left as the camera angle dips to face the windshield as gunfire can be heard. The camera jerks as the woman appears to jump from the car and run along a fence line as gunfire continues. Screaming, the woman appears to spee d past a house and struggles to open a gate. She yells for someone as she opens the door and enters a home. Once inside, the camera goes black but the audio can still be heard as the woman screams for help. A neighbor in his early 50s said he saw the child bleeding from his abdomen and the man in the car not moving. "The young lady was just hollering about her baby, she had blood from her stomach," he said. At the scene, police surrounded an older-model maroon four-door car in the alley. It had come to rest against an iron fence in the alley, its two front doors open. The three entrances to the alley were blocked off, as were streets around the scene. Neighbors poked their heads from their porches.

    Outside Mount Sinai Hospital, motorists fought through afternoon rush-hour traffic along Ogden Avenue as news vans parked on the south side of the street, and a TV helicopter buzzed overhead. At Stroger, family members slowly arrived throughout the afternoon. A woman in a pink hat ran up to the ambulance and a man paced outside the emergency room speaking on the phone. A little before 4 p.m., family members and friends in a large group stood outside the hospital, some hugging each other, when a woman suddenly ran across the parking lot in tears. Two people ran after her and hugged her as she shouted. At Mount Sinai, family members of the woman gathered for the latest on her condition. Relatives said a bullet was lodged under the skin of her abdomen and doctors were trying to determine whether or not they can remove it safely.

    Mayor Rahm Emanuel released a statement calling again for "meaningful gun control" and harsher sentencing for people who commit crimes with guns. "Every parent, regardless of where they live, should be able to take their child for a walk to the park or a ride in the car. These are normal rites of passage of childhood," Emanuel said in the statement. "These shootings must be a turning point for our city. Anyone with information about these crimes owes it to the families of these children to come forward."
