CHICAGO (CBS) — At least 50 people had been shot this Labor Day holiday weekend in Chicago as of Sunday afternoon, and three of them had been killed. At least nine of the surviving victims were under 18, with the youngest being just 4 years old.

At 8:55 p.m. Friday, a 4-year-old boy suffered two gunshot wounds to the head after shots were fired from outside and came into his home in the 6500 block of South Ellis Avenue in Woodlawn. The boy was in critical condition when he was taken to the University of Chicago’s Comer Children’s Hospital

They used to call it stuff like "Chiraq" but now people are calling Afghanistan "Chiganistan". Flipped the script on them.

50 shot, 3 killed. That seems like a really low (good though) percentage. I wonder what the kill percentage is on stabbings, poisonings, strangulations there this weekend. Maybe guns aren't as dangerous as people think.

Is anyone else getting sick of hearing “gun violence” used like it’s a version of the flu?

“We need to address gun violence!”

NO! We need to address criminals!


I’m totally white-flighting out of Shreveport as soon as my youngest graduates from Tech. Sucks, because I’ll have to start teaching all over again. But alajones2 and I are kind of done with Shreveport.

I'm starting to think all of those Americans stranded in Afghanistan really didn't want to get out because they are from Chicago.

Percentage low because of sideways gun firing pose. In most cases, increased accuracy would be a net benefit to society

I say this everytime:

There are more guns per capita out here in the sticks than in Chicago. I promise.
And you don't hear about incessant shootings from out here.

The anti-vaxers would tell you these are good odds, and there is no reason to take prophylactic measures.

I'm in Chicago now. Staying in the northern suburbs. Very clean, roads in great shape, feel safe, have seen very few Canadians. Yesterday went to Wrigley, Lakeshore Drive, and The Magnificent Mile. Beautiful, full of energy, and has a dynamic vibe that NOLA has never had and never will have.

All those shootings are in South Chicago.

just because you live in a different sort of Chicago, doesn’t mean the shootings aren’t happening.
