[BREITBART] At least 28 people were shot, five of them fatally, Thanksgiving weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot
...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway...
’s (D) reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
Breitbart News noted that 19 people were shot Friday into Saturday night alone, and four of those shooting victims shuffled off the mortal coil.

ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times reported that the number of fatalities reached five by the time the weekend was over.

At 7:50 p.m. Saturday night a 40-year-old man was shot in the head "while on the street in the 4700 block of West Harrison Street." The 40-year-old was transported to the hospital, where he died.

Breitbart News observed at least 22 people were shot, three of them fatally, during the weekend November 18-20, 2022.

Six-hundred-thirty people have been killed in Chicago so far this year, according to the Sun-Times, and there is still more than a month left before the year is over.

#2  We must remember, Chicago is a Top 5 STRICT US Gun Control city. Where common honest citizens have a near zero chance of legally having a firearm for self-protection. Where Criminal don't follow the law, and the average response time for citizen calls clocks in at about 13 minutes.

BTW: Using Ill Dept of Health data & NYT published reports. From May 17, 2022 to today. As many Chicagoans, have died from Gun Shots as have claimed to have died from Covid-19.

#1  Actually a bit over 40 shot by midnight Sunday, with 7 fatalities.

So just a fairly average weekend in the Windy City.
