CWB Chicago coated the carnage:

With 2 extra days remaining, Chicago’s vacation weekend is on tempo to be amongst most violent in years

CHICAGO — With two full days left to go, this Fourth of July weekend is on tempo to be one of the violent in latest reminiscence for Chicago. Since midday on Wednesday, 63 folks have been shot within the metropolis, 11 of them fatally. That’s in accordance with knowledge maintained by the unbiased crime researchers at HeyJackass.com and CPD media statements.

Sure, there have been a number of “mass shootings” to assist drive these numbers upward. Additionally from CWB Chicago:

5 folks had been shot when gunmen opened fireplace on a house within the 7100 block of South Woodlawn on Thursday morning. Two girls, ages 45 and 24, and an 8-year-old boy died. Two different boys, ages 5 and seven, had been critically injured.

That is what occurs when you have got generations of strict gun management solely just lately eased. Add to that Workforce Soros prosecutors who don’t prosecute, radical Democrat political leaders who not solely don’t assist the police, however actively defund them and soft-on-crime insurance policies like “No Money Bail” which sees violent offenders recurrently launched to re-offend with out posting a nickel of bail.

Want an instance of that?  How about instance quantity 19 from CWB Chicago:

Man fired pictures at 2 off-duty cops whereas on pretrial launch for two gun instances: prosecutors

CHICAGO — Prosecutors have charged a person with capturing at a automobile occupied by two off-duty Chicago cops on the Close to West Facet final month. Derrien Johnson, 18, was on pretrial launch for 2 felony gun instances in juvenile courtroom on the time of the incident on June 3, officers mentioned.

He’s the nineteenth individual accused of capturing, killing, or attempting to shoot or kill somebody in Chicago this yr whereas on pretrial launch.

However don’t you are concerned. Mayor Johnson has a plan. No, it has nothing to do with holding criminals accountable and cracking down on gang violence. In fact not! It’s extra akin to purchasing votes. From The Heart Sq.:

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson mentioned he plans to handle public issues of safety by investing in folks.

Talking at a public discussion board within the Little Village neighborhood, the mayor blamed Chicago’s violence on disinvestment by earlier administrations.

“My imaginative and prescient for security in Chicago is that each single neighborhood has protected areas, and that we’re totally funding our public lodging: schooling, transportation, healthcare, jobs,” Johnson defined.

What does the mayor care about crime? He’s acquired a 149-person sturdy protecting element. In reality, since his “buddy” delivered the infant the 2 of them reportedly share, Mayor Johnson doesn’t even dwell in Chicago any longer. As an alternative, he’s shacking up within the (a lot safer) suburbs.

Think about the irony that Chicago employees are required to dwell in Chicago. All of them besides the mayor. Hypothetically, in fact.
