#1 Three of the shootings happened between 4:50 and 5:40 a.m., police said.

Right when these people were getting up to go to work. Damn shame

#2 "Sorry I'm late, boss. Got shot on the way to work."
"You used that excuse last week."
"But boss, this is Chicago!"
"Point taken. Now get to work."

Be interesting to plot killed & wounded in Chicago vs say, Karachi over time.

#3 Ah, but in Karachi the gangs are trying to take over the government. In Chicago, the gangs ARE the government.

(Capone's problem wasn't that he was a gangster, but that he wasn't paying enough tribute to the gang running the city.)
