Yeah that shutting down LSD and marching by Wrigley is really working. No arrests had been made. I mean WTF is going on here. I know it was worse in the past but this is unacceptable. NYC doesn't do this, no other alpha city it the world does it either. Luckily most of them are bad shots, that's what happens when you hold your handgun on the side gansta style.
This is way we can't have good things. Now is the time to blame whitey.
H2 I hope you are not seeing this happens every weekend the temps get above 80 degrees.

25 shot in multiple-victim shootings over 2.5 hours in Chicago: 'If they shoot you, they don't even run'
Four people were shot in the 1600 block of South Avers in Lawndale. Eight in the 1300 block of West 76th Street in Gresham. Six in Lawndale again. Four more in West Humboldt Park. Three others in West Garfield Park.
At least 41 people were shot from 11 a.m. Saturday through Sunday morning, four fatally, police said at a Sunday afternoon news conference. Three of those deaths happened since about midnight in a period when 35 people were shot. During one 2½-hour early-morning period alone, 25 people were shot — two fatally — in five multiple-injury shootings, police said.
One of the dead was a 17-year-old girl who was shot in the face.
Another fatality happened after sunrise, when four more were shot in South Austin.
Resources at local hospitals were taxed as victims and their families poured in. Access to Stroger Hospital was tightened. At one point, more than 200 people had converged on the hospital. Mount Sinai Hospital had to stop accepting new emergency cases for a while.
At least 16 of those shot were teenagers. At least a dozen were 17 or younger. In the shooting in Gresham, seven of the victims were 21 or younger.

One man stood by himself, leaning his back against a chain-link fence on the north side of 16th Street, watching police work the large crime scene to his east. He estimated more than 1,000 people had been there. He talked freely but did not want to be named. He’s lived in the neighborhood his whole life.
“I know the rules,” he said.
The man had been on his way out when he heard the gunshots, he said. He commented on the brazenness of shootings he’s grown accustomed to.
“If they shoot you, they don’t even run,” he said. “They just walk away, they ain’t trying to run.”
…
Others congregated at Mount Sinai Hospital, leaning against cars and embracing on the sidewalk. Yellow crime scene tape encircled two cars outside the emergency room, a white sedan and a black one that had its front crumpled and windshield cracked.
Mount Sinai’s emergency department for a few hours was on bypass and accepting no new emergencies “just because of the sheer amount of shootings,” said spokesman Dan Regan.
Ald. Walter Burnett, 27th, stopped by to speak with the families. Burnett said the shootings affect whole families and entire communities, as evidenced by the crowd outside Stroger.
Burnett said it’s up to the neighborhoods to stop the violence. He talked about growing up in the former Cabrini-Green housing project.
“It was the mothers, it was the preachers, it was people in the neighborhood who stopped the wars in Cabrini Green,” he said. “It wasn’t the police.”
Activist Eric Russell, an organizer of the anti-violence protest Thursday that shut down Lake Shore Drive, also spoke outside of the hospital.
“This is the reason why we march,”
he said.
