Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson has credited the 1,400 extra officers on patrol this weekend with keeping the shootings down, according to WGN-TV

quote:

Six people were killed and another 25 wounded, as of Monday evening, in shootings across Chicago this Labor Day weekend. One of the six killed was a doctoral student at Northwestern University who was struck by a stray bullet.

This board loves to point to Chicago like it’s the Mecca for violence.

Per capita, NOLA is worse.

Not bad, except if you're in the air brushed memorial t-shirt business. They need to eat, too.

Baltimore is the murder king. Their hug a thug police tactics don't help either.

But Obama never lived there, so they don't get to feel as smug about people getting murdered in NOLA as they do about murders in Chicago.

If only they would protest and block more streets and airports they might actually fix this.

No, numb nuts, it’s making fun of the leftist’s anti gun campaign. Chicago has the most stringent gun laws and is a shooting gallery, proving that bad guys will always have guns no matter how tough the restrictions are.
You aren’t smart enough to get this?

We could, you know, call out both since the root cause is exactly the same despite being 950 miles apart

ETA: and New Orleans violence is called out non stop on here

Handguns being fired while held sideways are terribly inaccurate
