During a 36-hour period over the weekend of April 11, 35 people were shot in Chicago, causing four fatalities in a city with some of the strictest gun control laws in the country.
Chicago Police responded to 26 separate shooting incidents over the weekend, but over half the shootings occurred in only a 12-hour period on Saturday.Several of the incidents featured multiple shootings with multiple victims. Many were gang related.
Chicago's murder rate had been down over last year's rates and some have errantly pegged the drop in murder rates to the fact that Illinois has finally joined the other 49 states by implementing a concealed carry law.

DeleteCCW is already helping the rest of Illinois, but the gang scene & drug cartels in Chicago may be harder nuts to crack.
ReplyDeleteTrue.
DeleteNot really. Just have to starve them out. Winter would be the time to do it, reduce their mobility options.

DeleteMaybe the heavily armed BLM agents need to be in Chicago rounding up something else instead of being in Nevada rounding up cows and hassling old White ranchers? I understand that there is an endangered gopher rat in Chicago that might be harmed by stay thug bullets! - JFJ
