a bloody Mother’s Day weekend. It was one of the worst spats of violence he city has seen since September. Eight people were killed, with another 43 wounded. In terms of people being shot, that figures has surged to 1,225 this year. The city is on track to have
500 homicides this year. So, while violent crime has dropped to historic lows, the Windy City, along with Washington D.C. and Baltimore, form the unholy trinity of urban areas that are responsible for the slight spike in homicides were about to have in 2016 (via

Though overall crime rates were stagnant in America’s 30 largest cities the murder rate rose 13.3 percent, according to
a report from the Brennan Center for Justice.
Yeah! And, Obama is out running his mouth about which bathroom to use.
