    63 shot, 10 dead in Chicago since Friday

    Rahm Emanuel OWNS the violence and murder rate in chicago. Hes been Mayor for almost 8 full years and its worsened under his Mayorship. WHY!!!!!!!! hasnt he done what every other major city has done when violence and loss of life soars. They tell their police to get in there and stop the violence. Why he hasnt done that and he allows this to go on is a mystery.

    Dozens of people have been wounded in weekend shootings across Chicago police said. 63 people have been shot, ten fatally, since 5 p.m. Friday. 34 of the shootings and five deaths occurred between 10 a.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday, according to police. During one two-and-a-half hour-hour period, 25 people were shot in five multi-injury shootings. One paramedic described Saturday evening into Sunday morning as "a war zone."

    "We know that some of these incidents were targeted and are related to gang conflicts in those areas," said Chicago Police Chief of Patrol Fred Waller at a press conference Sunday afternoon. CPD said the majority of the shootings took place in the six, tenth and 11th districts and that gunmen shot into large crowds. The most recent shooting took place near the 2600 block of


    South State Street just before 8 p.m. In that incident, three people were standing in front of a residence when a shooter exited a car and opened fire, according to officials. Two women and one man were hit. The assailant then got back into the car and drove north on State Street, police said.

    Target practice.

    Temps Friday through Sunday, 88, 96, 95, and the lion's share of the shootings were on Friday.

    So, no clear relationship to global warming here.

    Say, you don't suppose this is any way related to astronomical health care and insurance costs?

    Many factors at play including population density and summer heat

    Emanuel's excuse is we need more jobs. They didn't even try and use the usual weather excuse. Of course Danny Davis got out there and blamed Automatic Weapons. But then Danny is known as a dumb$#@!.

    I don't think summer heat can be blamed for shooting up a family party, cooking out and kids playing in the sprinklers.

    Yep Police went with the usual excuse.....Gang related activity. Although a couple of the car shootings with a chick and dude in the cars. I think someone was cheating. I was going with the chicks.


    On a side note.....I wore my MAGA hat all weekend. No problems whatsoever. Just sayin.

    Best check the temperature in Orlando, Sandy Hook, and Vegas too.

    How about single parent households, cyclical poverty, and gang violence. Those factors too, Comrade?
