Happy Obama Day: 10 Killed, 60 Wounded In Chicago Gang Violence This Weekend
BY JOHN BOCH |AUG 06, 2018 |42 COMMENTS
Illinois celebrated its first ‘Barack Obama Day‘ on Saturday. Meanwhile in
the former president’s adopted home town, gang violence ran rampant. With
high temperatures and low self-control, the city’s criminal class kept
hospitals busy. By the end of the holiday weekend, 60 were wounded and 10
had died.
Operating from their standard summer season playbook, Chicago police blamed
illegal guns for the carnage rather than they city’s gangs.
From ABC News Chicago:
Dozens of people were wounded in shootings across Chicago since Friday,
police said. One paramedic described the evening as “a war zone.”
Since midnight, police said 43 people have been shot, six fatally. Since
Friday at 5 p.m., 60 people have been shot, nine fatally, in shootings in
Chicago.
34 of the shootings and five deaths occurred between 10 a.m. Saturday and 10
a.m. Sunday, according to police. During one two-and-a-half hour-hour
period, 25 people were shot in five multi-injury shootings.

Mayor Emanuel and friends must have contacted the news outlet because
clicking that original link takes folks to this new story:
CHICAGO — A violent weekend in Chicago left 10 people dead and dozens more
wounded, police said.
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson plans to hold a news conference
at 11 a.m. Monday.
However, CPD says it has seen a citywide reduction in shootings by 30
percent this year.
But the Internet is forever.
Need another example of how the mainstream media minimizes the crime and
gang violence in Rahm’s paradise by the lake? Here’s a shot of the front
page of the Chicago Sun-Times‘ website this weekend, highlighting the city’s
really important news.

hundred thousand mostly young people paid $335 plus taxes and fees for

Happy Obama Day: 10 Killed, 56 Wounded In Chicago Gang Violence This Weekend
In the above photo from the Chicago Tribune, police look over the scene of
one of the gang shootouts. Note the discarded empty liquor bottles that
outnumber the shell casings.
Of course, Chicago police say they have the remedy to Chicago’s violence
problem: going after the “illegal guns.” From the re-cast ABC News story:
Police say the violence is unacceptable and they say they continue to take
illegal guns off the streets.
New flash: it’s not gun violence. It’s gang violence.
Dear Chicago Police Department: How about taking violent criminal predators
off the streets? Chicago’s gang members don’t fear law enforcement or the
criminal justice system. One life-long resident told the Tribune as much:
One man stood by himself, leaning his back against a chain-link fence on the
north side of 16th Street, watching police work the large crime scene to his
east. He estimated more than 1,000 people had been there. He talked freely
but did not want to be named. He’s lived in the neighborhood his whole life.
“I know the rules,” he said.
The man had been on his way out when he heard the gunshots, he said. He
commented on the brazenness of shootings he’s grown accustomed to.
“If they shoot you, they don’t even run,” he said. “They just walk away,
they ain’t trying to run.”
As hard as they try, the Chicago Police Department has identified and
charged criminal suspects in just 13.7% of homicides (47 of 342) this year.
In fairness, they don’t get a lot of help from the community. Or the
revolving door criminal justice system.
When the criminals don’t fear arrest or imprisonment, they act with
impunity. Just like the man who “knows the rules” says.
