CHICAGO - At least 17 people were killed and more than 40 others were injured in shootings since Friday in the nation's third-largest city, marking the deadliest weekend in what has been the city's most violent year in more than a decade.

We have some of the most strict gun laws in the country, but I'm telling you, they still aren't strong enough! We have the worst murder rate in over a decade all because our super strict gun laws are just not cutting it! We need tougher!

Well good thing chicago has a friend of hilary as mayor. Liberal democrats are known for their support of the african american community. So i expect the mayor to shut down that racist police dept for causing all those dead blacks.

& its a good thing there is a social justice movement called "black lives matter" that brings attention to all the black people murdered by thugs...

Sorry, i meant cops.

No, stupid people with guns who can't handle their drugs. :thumbsup

I think the bros been given a free pass long enough, seriously how long can blame all your problems on someone else... ? :2 cents:

Ah another death thread by the undertaker. Thanks you death obsessed freak.

ape has killed ape!

bump bud :thumbsup

They should just declare Marshall law and send in the national guard and treat the fuckers like terrorist.

too many legal guns in Chicago :)
