Nine people were killed in violence across Chicago over a 24-hour period from Tuesday morning to Wednesday morning. The large number of slayings would be unusual on a warm summer weekend and is startling for a late-winter weekday.Most of the victims were killed in shootings. They include a 15-year-old girl and a man, both killed while sitting in a car in Roseland, and a 53-year-old man shot to death in a fight on a CTA bus on the West Side.
NINE killed in Chicago in 24 hours…
“Crime is down!” says Governor Pritzker the professional carnival barker. Despite his claims, reality bit him on his rather large back end Tuesday into Wednesday in Murder City. Nine people were murdered, including two people sitting in a car.
The good news, if you can call it that, is that one of the nine was a justifiable homicide. Some mope decided he wanted to wave around a knife on a CTA bus. Someone with a gun took care of that problem before exiting the bus.
If this is a sneak preview of the summer murder season, it’s going to be really tough for New York, St. Louis or LA to take the Murder City USA crown away from Mayor Birdbrain Brandon Johnson.
Let’s go Brandon!
