Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s shameless scapegoat for rising shootings in Chicago

[actaeon277]

Imagine what the numbers would be like if they had even the most rudimentary marksmanship training.

Probablybe less shootings.
Instead of hitting a bunch of bystanders, they'd be weeding themselves out.

I'm with Act on this one. The numbers would be lower if they could actually hit who they were aiming at but instead they get MAYBE the target and definitely a handful of bystanders.

Wait, so you're saying that holding your gun sideways over your head is not proper marksmanship technique? Well crap. I've been doing it all wrong!

My grandfather was a school Superintendent at a suburban Chicago (Riverside) school until his death in 1980... I spent many summers there, and loved Chicago! The culture, the history, the museums, the aquarium, the planetarium, the Navy Pier, Wrigley Field, Soldier Field.... I thought it was the most awesome place on Earth! They ruined it for everyone.

This weekend's line is 73.5

I'm sure I would love Chicago if it weren't for all the buildings, concrete and people. But that's pretty much how I feel about any city.

Loved the Hancock and Sears towers. On top of the world... When you're ten to sixteen years old, it's such a marvel.
Last time I was there was to the museums in the summer of 2001... I'll never go back.

I've always hated being "downtown" anywhere, even in Indianapolis when I was a kid. Made me feel claustrophobic.

I was born in suburban Detroit, so I never knew any different, but at age 57, I'm glad to live in a rural area far from a big city.

I'm gonna take the under....there's like 50-60 hoodrats that will be recouping from their wounds to cause trouble this weekend. Plus it's not a long weekend and chance of rain

My guess is 54 shot with 4 killed

Used to go to Dearborn often when I was a kid.

Went through it a few years ago.....looked like a **** hole called Baghdad.

Keep my barber out of this! He may be an idiot, but he does a good job!


(Just kidding. I cut my own hair)

(Oh, and you’re*)

Just kidding that he does a good job or is an idiot?

Yep....used to be a nice place.

Heck, the same could be said of Detroit.

I saw on the tell a vision that Lackey Lightfoot met with Obiden today to discuss how to curb violent crime in ****cago.

The line for this weekend may need to be bumped a bit.

All you have to do is look at the shooting crimes history, beetlejuice took office in chicago and the #'s have risen dramatically

Apparently it is in ****cago, unless you're a gangbanger shooting up birthday parties and funeral gatherings. In those situations, no charges....no worries.

And people still go there, that is what amazes me. Jim.
