The savagery in certain areas of Chicago are war zones

Editor's note: The "Windy City" government might want to consider coming up with an alternative to name the city of Chicago. What about "Gun City"? That seems like a good choice considering year-to-date 899 people have been shot in certain areas of Chicago with 247 dead. The city of Chicago should capitalize on the gun violence there. Shootout tours. Tourists to Chicago can tour in a bullet proof bus to experience first hand the shoot outs and killings. Use the revenue to pay for and clean up the carnage. Chicago law enforcement have probably decided to just let the local savages kill each other off.

12 killed, 48 wounded in Memorial Day weekend violence in Chicago

The level of gun violence was the worst since 71 people were shot over the 2016 holiday weekend.

By Sun-Times Wire | May 30, 2023

The Memorial Day weekend in Chicago was the most violent in seven years.

By early Tuesday morning, at least 12 people had been killed and another 48 wounded since early Friday evening. The level of gun violence was the worst since 71 people were shot over the 2016 holiday weekend.

The Harrison police district on the West Side recorded the most people shot, at least eight. The Ogden district on the Near West Side and the Gresham district on the South Side each had seven, according to police data.

Two of the homicides occurred in the Harrison district and two in the Gresham district.

The violence came close to Mayor Brandon Johnson's doorstep when a woman was found stabbed to death less than two blocks from the mayor's West Side home in Austin. Extra police officers had been scheduled to work over the weekend, as Johnson and interim Chicago Police Supt. Fred Waller continued the controversial practice of canceling officers' days off to boost staffing over violent weekends.

Dozens of "peacekeepers" also hit the streets to quell violence in hot spots on the South and West sides. And hundreds marched against violence Saturday in the Grand Crossing neighborhood.

The weekend’s first homicides happened within a few hours of each other.

The homicide near the mayor's home was discovered just after midnight Saturday in the 5700 block of West Chicago Avenue. A female, whose age is unknown, was stabbed to death and left in a nearby alley.

On Monday evening, a shooting was reported about five blocks from the mayor's home. A man, 36, was shot near the street around 7 p.m. in the 700 block of North Pine Avenue. He was hospitalized in good condition.

Shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday, a man, 33, was found dead with a gunshot wound to his armpit in the 7800 block of South Seeley Avenue in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood.

About 2:15 a.m. Saturday in Lakeview, William Hair, 35, was found on a sidewalk with a gunshot wound to his chest in the 500 block of West Surf Street. He died at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.

Here is an interesting take on black Americans. Something tells us the murder rate in Kenya doesn't even come close to the black-on-back murder rate going on in some American cities.
