From the July 1 Chicago Tribune:
"As Chicago heads into the often
violent July 4th weekend at the halfway point of the year, homicides
have jumped by 49 percent to 312 through Tuesday, reaching levels unseen
since the 1990s. Through June 19, Chicago had more homicides than Los
Angeles and New York combined."
And in the news today:
And in the news today:
"July 4th weekend shootings in Chicago killed four people and wounded 64, including a 5-year-old and 7-year-old. A 15-hour period from Monday into this morning accounted for half of the long weekend's victims."
Oh Chicago.
What a mess you are in.
Out for now.......
