12 Shot Dead, 13 Wounded in Chicago Since Tuesday Night
2015-09-04
[Breitbart] According to the Chicago Tribune, the various shootings "began shortly before midnight Tuesday when a 16-year-old boy was killed in the Lawndale neighborhood... [and] about a half-hour later and about 3 miles away, a 25-year-old man was killed." Approximately two hours after that, two men were killed in Uptown.

In addition to these deaths, a 16-year-old boy, 14-year-old girl, and 42-year-old woman were shot and wounded on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, the killing began early with a 25-year-old man shot and killed just after midnight. "Two men were shot to death in the Uptown neighborhood" shortly after 2 a.m. Another man was killed, and two were wounded around 9 a.m.

The shooting continued throughout the day, including the death of a 19-year-old around 9:45 p.m. and the death of a 23-year-old man around 11:35 p.m. The last shooting incident--the last shooting incident reported by the Tribune--occurred at 12:15 a.m. Thursday, when a "20-year-old man was seriously wounded in a shooting around in the Oakland neighborhood on the South Side."

It should be noted that Chicago has some of the strictest gun controls in the country. Gun stores are only allowed in a very small percentage of the city, and those sales are recorded by law. The LA Times reports that Chicago also "bans [gun] sales at gun shows within the city limits," and Breitbart News has previously reported that Chicago has the very gun and ammo tax that Seattle just enacted as a means of fighting gun violence.

It should also be noted that Chicago has an "assault weapons" ban.

#4  How are these people able to stay up so late on a school/work night? They must be tired when they have to get up first thing in the morning to go to work or school all eager and chipper....

#3  You've got to wonder if black lives really matter? Little is done about black on black murders. No protests, no chants, no outrage, no marching on Washington.

#2  The obvious solution is to go to the house of every registered gun owner and confiscate their guns. Since the police know exactly who owns guns, this should be easy. That will immediately end this carnage.

High city officials and their private bodyguards will be exempt, of course.

#1  Well, just think how many fluffy bunnies and baby ducks would have been wacked if honest, law-abiding citizens were actually allowed to own the horrible weapons!

Actually, I think all the law-abiding citizens moved out to the suburbs a long time ago. Only the Democrats, voting in every election, whether dead or alive, remain.
