More Than 60 Shot in Chicago Memorial Day Weekend Violence

[Theowl32]

Even as Chicago Police beefed up patrols for Memorial Day, more than 60 people were shot during the violent three-day holiday weekend, an uptick in violence that Mayor Rahm Emanuel called "unacceptable."

By Monday evening, at least 62 people had been shot across the city since Friday afternoon, including six who were killed. That surpassed the number of people shot during last year's Memorial Day weekend. Chicago Police News Affairs said murders were down 50 percent compared to last Memorial Day.

Do not worry folks, not to worry. The blacks are not to blame. I mean they are black afterall and do not know any better. Right? Right?

The NRA and republicans to blame.

Hey, it was an improvement though. 12 people died last year, so that is good. I guess.

Who said anything about "blacks"? I presume that these shootings were proportional to the demographics of the City.

Right?
