I live in the Chicago media market and can safely say that Mayor Lari Lightloafers is not only letting this violence happened on purpose, but is encouraging it. Especially the ancillary violence caused by BLM and antifa.
She was on a police citizens review board and does not like the CPD. Her hand-picked superintendent of police was quickly neutered, humiliated in press conferences beside the mayor, and she calls the shots.
State's Attorney Crimesha Foxx, of Jessie Smollett fame, refuses to prosecute felons committing gun crimes, let alone BLM looters. And the judges allow everybody to sign out on recognizance bonds.
We are watching a coordinated mess in Chicago and the media won't cover it.

#1, so sorry. You and your neighbors know what to do. Get out and encourage people to vote all these crazy politicians out of office. Your mayor is part of the problem. She received her marching orders on the virus, protecting the thugs, etc. by the democrat party. Make her a one term mayor.

And I thought Gary, IN was the armpit of the midwest. Looks like Chicago wins the crown. Mayor Lightweight is a disgrace.

For a gun-free city Chicago seems to have a lot of them. If you listen to five minutes of speech from the black lesbian Lightweight you will realize that nobody is in charge unless you count the shooters.

When her lack of action causes the magic number of 100 does she win the murder/ mayhem game?

In future, break down the numbers into those that are innocents, and those that are not. For those that are not, we can celebrate their passing, and encourage that more be passed.

Pretty obvious she didn't run for mayor on the promise to do away with the killing fields. So apparently she ran to get rich her share of the city graft.

The final count was 65 wounded and 13 killed for 78 in total (Heyjackass.com). You will never eliminate murder from the spectrum of human behavior however, we could get very close to the normal outlier range if we only allowed the rules by which we lived for tens of thousands of years to apply, you perish if you don't make a contribution to your own self sustenance.
Ready to have that discussion Mr. Holder, how about you Lori ET Lightfoot?

Chicago Police are getting good at stringing up yellow tape in nice straight lines. That's about it. The Sun Times does a nice job of detailing the victims.

Chicago has a long history of gang warfare. As long as the gangsters are shooting each other, it has been ignored. Police there also have a history of being paid to look the other way. It took the St. Valentine's Day Massacre to gather enough public outrage to bring in Hoover's FBI to start dismantling the gangs.
How many innocents have to die before the citizens force an intervention?

Chicago is finishing the job Margaret Sanger started!! Loud and proud, they sling their guns. (Yeah, I know Sanger used a scalpel.) If Black Chicago people kill enough other Black Chicago people, and a few White people for extra credit, Lightfoot can blame the President for ''not doing enough.''

On the bright and more important side, the mayorette has all the letters in the left's alphabet covered even adding an extra"B" for the melanin enhanced.

I sure hope Kayleigh Mcenany rips into the incompetent Mayor Lightbrain again, I wonder how many were killed with automatic weapons that the dumb mayor blamed last time she ran her mouth without engaging her brain.
I'll bet most were killed with a 9mm handgun, which is against the law to possess in Chicago.

Let's step back a moment and figure out ....WHY....does the mayor allow such carnage?.... what benefit does she get from the chaos?...is she waiting for President Trump to send in troops so she can scream dictatorial abuse?....is that her game?

Lori and her BLM and Antifa friends like this level of carnage in Chicago so they can cry about the lack of law and order sponsored by her Dimwit friends. Albert

To their little Marxist mayor, it couldn't matter less. They were all just black lives.

If there is not a Republican landslide this November, this will be the “New Normal” in this country.
If not, may Heaven have mercy on our souls.

I detect one BS report in this summary: "The male in the street fired a handgun toward the group, but hit the man and woman in the vehicle." The man was shot in the neck and died, the woman was shot twice in her arms and is in serious condition, these two were driving by. You can't tell me that someone was shooting at another person in a group and accidentally hits two people three times while driving by in their car.

So, in 48 hrs of a weekend, well over one shooting per hour. What a fine place.

This is irrelevant and snarky I know but that Mayor Lightfoot may be the ugliest female on the planet. She is certainly in the running along with Whoopi.

So, from #9's info, that is one shooting every 37 minutes for the 48 hours of the weekend, on the average.
Fun place, Chicago.
