Just another day in the windy city. So how many shot and how many killed so far this year, Lightfoot?

Drove from NC to upper to Wi this weekend. 10 to 1 trump to biden signs.
But I stopped in an oasis off 294, disgusting place to stop, not safe and it looked like the whole city does.
All the other places I stopped at along the route were clean and safe.

Hmmmmmm only 49? The only thing I can think of is they must be running low on ammo and haven’t been practicing shooting skills enough. Remember aim small miss small and keep pulling the trigger until it’s empty.

Recently a Chicago law enforcement official stated that there are approximately 117,000 members of criminal gangs in the city. In the Wake of Woke some gangsters have said that if they even see a Chicago policeman's gun coming out of his holster, the cop should be shot immediately. Is there a way to "de-gang" the city short of military occupation with attendant widespread violence and inevitable mass incarceration?
Gun control legislation in Chicago is stringent and airtight, but that affects only law abiding citizens, who are mostly denied the right of armed self defense in the City. Criminals, as before, pay no attention to laws. Libertarians have suggested that legalizing drugs, prostitution, gambling, and other vices would remove gangs' reasons for existence. I'm libertarian, but making everything legal would have plenty of bad consequences. If they're not stopped, bad people will do bad things. If the law won't prevent violent criminals from plying their trade, what good is it? What other measures would be necessary to keep cities from devolving into Hobbesian states of nature? If city government doesn't protect the lives and property of citizens, it has failed in its primary duties, and must be replaced by others who will accept the responsibility to act appropriately.

If a white cop had shot a black armed robber that just killed a 7-11 store clerk over the weekend, the riots, looting, arsons and mayhem would have begun immediately. That's a FACT, whether that frog faced mayor wants to admit it or not.

#7, the last information I have is that Illinois has a reasonable 'shall issue' CCW system which is available to honest citizens, even in Chicago. No out of state permits are valid.
Chicago's reputation for extreme gun laws has been largely erased by SCOTUS and other fed court rulings protecting the 2nd Amendment rights of the people. I have no doubt that antigun politicians still run things, but, I think they are as powerful as they were.

#9, I got mine 2 years ago and I would say that the cost was enough to keep some of the most in need of their right to protect themselves from doing so legally. Other than that the process in Illinois was rather decent.

How many of those 49 victims were black and how did I miss the BLM protests about the latest loss of black life in Chicago?

Re: #4's sign comment.
I have driven back and forth across Kansas and SE Colorado now about 4 times in the last couple of months.
I have seen exactly one Biden yard sign anywhere and dozens of large Trump signs, probably half of them home-made by folks, and a number of Trump flags flying on trucks and homes.
