Eighteen people were killed in Chicago in a 24-hour span last month — the deadliest day in the Windy City in roughly six decades, according to a report. (Snip) The grim tally made May 31 the single most violent day Chicago has endured in roughly 60 years, according to data provided to the newspaper by the University of Chicago Crime Lab.
“We’ve never seen anything like it, at all,” the crime lab’s senior research director, Max Kapustin, told the newspaper. “I don’t even know how to put it into context. It’s beyond anything that we’ve ever seen before.” Data from the lab does not pre-date 1961, but the next-highest single-day
So? Disband the police and let The Community have at it. Once the blood is washed into the sewers the violence will be done, and the strongest crime gangs running the streets. That's what Chicago's voters want...give it to them good and hard! Democracy at work.

Either the cops were busy elsewhere or they just don't bother much anymore. Probably the latter. Let the law of the jungle prevail.

Welcome to the jungle, it gets worse here everyday

18 black-on-black murders is a black thing but that's okay because, in the jungle, there's no room for white things.

Lawlessness tends to spike when the criminal element doesn't worry about the police showing up to stop them. Good luck with the "brown shirts" patrolling your streets.

See. That place don’t need no cops
Only 18 killed in a span of 24 hours. Numbers are going down. And when there are no police there will be no killings.

Let's remember that "Cell Block Tango" from the musical Chicago where they sang: "They had it coming. . .they had it coming. . .they only had themselves to blame. . .if you'd a been there. . .if you'd a seen it. . .I know that you would have done the same."

Pretty soon the Dems will come up with a solution for all the crime and killings in Chicago and it will be “just don’t report any stats” .

And clearly the best possible solution is to close down the police department. That's obvious. (/s off)
When they do it, it will put a permanent set of irrefutable data into the record books, and they will never be able to try this idiot stunt again. But it will cost a lot of lives. Probably mostly black lives....which apparently, counter to all the rhetoric, do NOT actually matter to them.

Random drive by killing? Sounds to me that somebody is looking to stir things up.

One would like to congratulate Chicago on their breaking their shooting record. Somehow I doubt they would get the irony.

If you got a beef with somebody, now is the time to get at 'em. Lawlessness reigns in some places, but I thought BLM had taken on policing the streets of Southside Chicago.

“On Saturday and particularly Sunday, I heard people saying all over, ‘Hey, there’s no police anywhere, police ain’t doing nothing,’” the Rev. Michael Pfleger of St. Sabina Church told the Sun-Times. “I sat and watched a store looted for over an hour. No police came. I got in my car and drove around to some other places getting looted [and] didn’t see police anywhere.”
Rev. Mike should be ecstatic that the cops aren't a visible presence. For those with a short memory, Rev. Michael Pfleger is a hard left activist in Chicago and a big supporter of Obama's 2008 POTUS campaign.

Black lives don’t seem to matter in Chicago, right Mayor Lightfoot? I guess she’s too busy getting her hair done to care about those black lives.

A local activist priest couldn't find any police around to stop the looting and the violence. Really? Complain all you want, Father, but why should the police do a damned thing? If they do something and step out of line even one iota, you'd have their heads on platters and offer them to your false god of "social justice." FOS, that priest!

Investigate the Department of Immigration. No doubt Africans have been hired for these positions and make a fortune selling access to Immigrant status. Drain the swamp.

I'd say that this could turn Chicago into a Republican stronghold, but there probably is a new Chicago ordinance that automatically requires the dead to cast absentee ballots for the Democrat master ... oops, I mean politicians for at least 80 years after their death.
I remember being told a joke so many years ago. A ship sinks and the only three survivors on the only life raft are Richard Nixon, Lyndon Johnson, and ol' Dick Daley, the long-time Mayor of Chicago. There is only enough provisions for one of them to survive. Being politicians, they decide the best way to determine the survivor is to have a campaign and an election. So, they each campaign and cast their secret ballots.
When the ballots are counted, Nixon got one vote. LBJ got three, and Mayor Daley got seven.

Hey, Black Lives Matter, Y'all!
(But ONLY when it advances The Cause.)
So many people murdered that they only bothered to name three of them in the article.
What about the other Fifteen? Don't they deserve at least to have their names mentioned, and a few words written about each of them?
Or were all the other fifteen a bunch of meth-heads that, if their lives were described, the rest of us would say to ourselves...."Good Riddance! The place is better without 'em!"..... which defeats the purpose of the article.
Just askin.....

Damn all those white police officers and all those whites from the suburbs coming into the city shooting innocent law abiding blacks. Didn't these racists ever hear of BLM? Oh wait! Inner city blacks were shooting each other. Never mind.

Yup, go ahead and DEFUND the police dept. and those negative statistics will never appear. No arrest and no investigations. ......does that mean we don't need Judges also? Maybe we don't need Law Makers too!
Defund CONGRESS!

Don't take away the Windy City's claim to fame! The weekend murder rate was always a statistic published on Monday morning, giving a sort of left handed compliment to the high count. If you start bringing attention to it, they'll have to look for another reason to make the news. It is difficult enough to atone for being Obama's home.

Now we know why our healthcare is so expensive! Emergency room filled every weekend and they don’t give a count for Monday-Friday. The morgue must be busy also.
