Chicago celebrates 4th of July weekend with 9 dead, 47 wounded

[European Knight]

Yes, it was another dismal holiday in the Windy City, with gang violence running wild. 47 wounded and nine dead, including a seven year old boy whose father – a multiple conviction criminal with recent illegal gun charges – was probably

the actual target. Sure, those numbers sound like bad news, (and they are) but the actual title of the Washington Post article covering the story includes the caveat… but better than last year.

Chicago was yet again riddled with a flurry of shootings this Fourth of July weekend, with at least 47 wounded and nine killed, according to multiple media reports.

The numbers were down from last year’s holiday weekend after police increased their presence by nearly a third — 2014 saw over 80 shootings with 16 fatalities. Police also seized over 80 illegal guns over the holiday, averaging around

one per hour, DNA Info reported.

Some 3,400 illegal guns have been confiscated so far this year, according to the city’s police department.

Yeah I guess Black people are to blame.

TBH I think it's their culture that is to blame, not the people themselves, though. It's a shit culture and the U.S. future is not looking that bright, especially with all these illegal immigrants + gangbanger culture.

Why won't Obama address the carnage in his hometown? I suppose that he's more likely to pontificate about the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre than black-on-black homicide in July 2015.
