More people were shot in Chicago over the weekend than on any other this year, except for the Fourth of July weekend that stretched four days, according to police and data kept by the Chicago Tribune.

At least 63 people were shot in the city, and eight of them were killed, police said. More than half of them were wounded over 13 hours from Saturday to early Sunday. At least 16 more people were shot through the day Sunday, including three on the same street in South Austin.

Better get those confederate memorial statues taken down so that these poor victims will stop shooting each other.

Guys,

Don't be so bitter & jaded.

If you looked into each of these shootings, I'm sure that you would see that each and every one of their babies didn't do nothin'

On a per capita basis, Chicago is a Snowflake's Special Safe Space.

Baltimore has had 255 murders so far this year. I think we have about 600,000 in Baltimore City at present.

That's because none of the shooters were white cops.

My work talked about a possible contract in Chicago... I said I'd require an M4, plate carrier and backup.

Maybe we should send the 4000 troops to Shitcago instead of Shitganistan

But there were two home invasions that northern suburban home owners should be HIGHLY concerned about by the news. That is much more important than mere shootings of the folks of color. (I guess)

I'm sure Rahm is very concerned.

WTF OP!!! How dare you bring this up now. We've got mother fucking confederate monuments to tear down and blacks are only killed by white cops!

We could up those numbers and save the taxpayers money just by slowing down the ambulances. Chicago is still more dangerous than Afghanistan.

Wasnt that white supremacist Lincoln from Chicago Illinois? How many statues , street s , and institutions named after him in Chicago? If we take them down, the violence will stop

Proximity doesn't seem to matter. One statue somewhere is a statue everywhere.

Do it yourself ethnic cleansing. Just think of the crimes that won't be committed in the future by dead people.

Good job, Rahm.

Take Chicago out of Illinois and it is a pretty red state. The good news is these shooting are in Chicago, the bad news is their aim sucks and it still would need to be multiplied by 10k.

That's not important! All these statues are what's making them do it!
