hopefully your house, clothes, and car are covered in kevlar.

The Chicago mortuary business must be making a mint. 

[Tank]

same for tattoo artists who constantly ink the locals with "only God can judge me."

Here's another story about the violence in Chicago. The number of deaths is astounding. They had 66 deaths last month, highest ever for May in the last 2 decades. 294 so far, more than NY and LA combined.

Chicago's most violent neighborhoods brace for deadly summer

Sad that this happens here in the US

[Adam]

They should think about electing some democrats to office there.

sadder still that there doesn't seem to be any way to put an end to it. i feel like chicago has just thrown up it's collective hands and said "uncle."

You think these people would go extinct at the rate they are killing each other. However at the rate Jayquan is pumping out kids, it won't be possible.

Somehow this is Whitey's fault.

[Blarg]

The mayor is white. 

And a Democrat. 

[Kevin]

"Hands up don't shoot" apparently doesn't work in Chicago either.

Why isn't the black community making waves over this? A single thug in Ferguson assaults a cop, gets shot, and a whole movement is sparked, yet blacks are murdering each other by the hundreds in Chicago and the black community apparently doesn't give a fuck.

No one gives a shit in the media unless the money terms are used. Muslim, Islam, Radical Islam, AR15, Assault weapon...etc..

[Angel Oracle]

I love Chicago, but the violence is stupid.

So bad that one summer many years back, a McDonald's All American HS basketball player (Ben Wilson) with a brilliant future ahead of him was murdered.

And of course in neighboring Gary, former MLB All-Star and Halos OF Lyman Bostock was murdered by a POS human being,  Leonard Smith.

They need better community organizers.

That would be the coroner's. They can't get enough car wash money for a mortuary

Because racism or something

Black people are such goofballs

At least 32 reportedly shot in Chicago so far on Fourth of July weakened

Somehow it's the fault of (1) whitey or (2) the police.

[Lhalo]

Being shot would "weaken" me too.
