Nearly all the victims are black, so this is a
huge win for the Democrats' black population control program.
Chicago lefties LOVE their murders, and don't want President Trump to spoil their fun by sending in anyone to put a stop to it.

Chicago saw its most violent holiday weekend of the summer as President Donald Trump’s threats to send the National Guard into the city have put local crime rates in the national spotlight.
At least nine people were killed and 52 others wounded, in shootings and other violence citywide over the long Labor Day weekend. The holiday tally began at 5 p.m. Friday and ran through 5 a.m. Tuesday.
Trump has called the city a “killing field” and said he planned to send National Guard troops as soon as this week. City and state leaders have staunchly opposed the plan, citing overall dropping crime rates in recent years and saying the presence of federal troops could do more harm than good.
This weekend’s gun violence was a significant jump from last year’s late summer holiday weekend, when eight people were killed and 22 wounded. Memorial Day weekend and the Fourth of July weekend were also less violent this year. Four people were killed and 22 were shot over Memorial Day weekend, and eight were killed and 40 were shot over Independence Day weekend, which was also
marked by a high-profile mass shooting in River North.
Sixteen of the wounded this weekend were involved in three attacks: a mass shooting in Bronzeville that left seven wounded; another mass shooting in Oakland that hospitalized five; and a drive-by shooting in Humboldt Park that hurt four.
