BREAKING: 60 Shot, 9 Dead – ‘Hospital Inundated With Patients’
Did the Purges begin? Is America a war zone? Looking at Chicago one might be convinced. It has been 1256 days since the city of Chicago had a single day free of sh*oting and/or homicides. That translates to nearly three and a half years – that is three and half years worth of daily/nightly, sometimes even hourly firearm violence in a city noted for some of the strictest firearm control laws in the nation.
The beleaguered populace of Chicago is denied the basic right to defend themselves against the rampant firearm violence taking place in their neighborhoods and their city streets while they attempt to fight poverty and joblessness in a city riddled with debt, high crime, rampant gang violence. Yet Mayor Rahm Emanuel continues to advocate for illegal aliens over the citizens of Chicago. In spite of the ruling of McDonald v. the City of Chicago rending the anti-g*n laws of the city unconstitutional, Emanuel and other city leaders continue to mire the citizens of Chicago in bureaucracy that virtually renders the ruling void in actual practice.
This weekend was an especially bloody one with 47 people being shot just on Sunday, six of them fatally.
The Chicago Tribune reports –
“At least 74 people were shot in one of the most violent weekends of the year in Chicago, spurred by a 7-hour period early Sunday morning when 40 people were shot.
Between 3 p.m. Friday and 6 a.m. Monday morning, 11 people were k****d and 63 were wounded, according to Tribune data. Their ages spanned from 11 to 62 years old, and most of those shot were attacked on the South and West sides.
As of Friday, at least 1,700 people have been shot in the city this year, fewer than the last two years at this time when violence hit record levels in the city but well above other recent years. There have been at least 300 homicides, according to Tribune data.
Six of the shootings this weekend injured four or more people in a single attack, racking up 31 victims early Sunday.
The staggering numbers attracted national media attention and resulted in a press conference Sunday morning during which Chicago police chief of patrol Fred Waller blamed the violence on gang members who shoot into summer crowds at night.
