Chicago: 13 Shot in 30 Minutes
In Chicago, people are assaulting one another at breakneck speed. From Thursday night until Friday morning, 19 people were shot in Chicago. Even
worse, 13 people were shot in 30 minutes. Even though the overnight violence spilled over into the morning, the majority of injuries were sustained during shootings between 9:15PM and 9:45PM.
The Chicago Tribune reports:
The overnight shootings peaked between 9:15 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. That’s when eight people, many of them teens, were shot at 79th Street and Essex Avenue about 9:30 p.m.
Then two men were wounded in the Ida B. Wells / Darrow Homes complex at about 9:25 p.m., police said. The men, 27 and 33, were shot in the 600 block of East 37th Street and taken to the University of Chicago Hospitals, police said. The younger man was shot in the head and the other in the right arm, Gaines said.
Around the same time, two other men were wounded in the arms in a drive-by shooting in the 2900 block of West 39th Place in the Brighton Park neighborhood.
And there were, of course, shootings throughout the night. One man told police he was just talking on the phone when he heard a shot ring out and realized he’d been hit. Three other men say they were just walking when a vehicle pulled up beside them, and at least one man inside opened fire.
The Chicago Police Department had previously said that it had made several gang arrests, but those arrests have done little to reduce the violence in the city. It is unclear whether last night’s rash of shootings will force the city to revise its strategy for reducing violence.

Evidently the police in Chicago are sorry as h**l.Rom Emmanuel,you are an inept toad.
I stay in Chicago, and these are black neighborhoods with black victims and perpetrators. Rahm Emanuel doesn’t care and other Chicago elites don’t care because this is plan. Fill the majority black inhabitants with so much carnage that they will never become a threat to the white supremacist socioeconomic system.
Good one, Eric. Great insight to a terrible problem. Blame it on the rich white guys….
You would make a great community leader….
Yeah yeah…let them kill each other off and push who’s left out, never to look back…we’ll bulldoze and tear it all down and build luxury homes, plant trees and wash the area of the pathologies of crime and blight and now you have exclusive communities…. it’s called gentrification! Nobody is going to lift a finger to stop this madness, unitl they push it into YOUR neighborhood…it saddens me that we’ve allowed this to just go on without any type of accountability.
Well said, BigWill, and it is the truth whether people admit it or not.
You are obviously being condescending. Answer this:
Do you know what the Kerner Commission report of 1968 is?
Do you know what redlining is?
Do you know what the red squads are?
Do you know what COINTELPRO is?
Do you know what restrictive housing covenants are?
Do you know who the IRISH Hamburg Club is?
And do you know what color the perpetrators of the aforementioned are?
Probably not cause you wouldn’t be on here pretending like you are saying something clever and insightful when in fact it is quite the contrary–Sheeple!!!
Its not the city elites doing the shootings n killings but our children r. we cant expect or wait for someone else to clean our house for us. i was born n raised on the low end n the chi, n its worse then eva now. i dont have any answers but how our children have no regards for life is a mystery to me. I left chicago n 96 cuz i have 3 sons n didnt want them to think that this enviornment was the norm. they have made there share of mistakes but i have no doubt that had we stayed things would have been worse. i worry bout my family there all the time. if someone have suggestions im all ears n would luv to be apart of the solution

It’s a bad sign that the City of Chicago gonna have a rough future when you see Black kids beating on bucket’s on the corner’s of Racine Street in Englewood instead of playing in a YMCA or learning in a Library…MESSAGE!
WHATS WRONG WITH AMERICA? HOW CAN WE BE IN OTHER COUNTRIES SAVING THEIER CITIZENS AND ALLOWING OUR OWN TO BE MURDERED DAILY? THIS COUNTRY IS BEING RUN BY SATANIC PEOPLE AND OBAMA IS EITHER WITH THEM OR HE IS A COWARD! THE CREATOR IS GOING TO HOLD ALL OF THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR LACK OF AND OR ACTIONS! NO JUSTICE NO PEACE NO PEACE NO JUSTICE!!! DOUGLAS K. STEWARD IN WASHINGTON DC FOR TRUTH AN JUSTICE FOR ALL NOT JUST SOME!!! 2024877564
No one can be a greater enemy than oneself.
If I’ve said it once…I’ve said it a million times…we need our Black men to come back home. There is nothing more fierce than the presence of a Black man at home taking care of his family. Even if he has multiple families, he needs to be visible. I have a friend who ran his home from his prison cell…locked up for five years. When he called home…and his wife told him one of their children was acting up…she put the child on the phone. Enough said…if it was something that needed physical attention, there was an uncle right there to step in. The Black man needs to come back home and the Black woman needs to suck it up and let him in (figuratively speaking)…h**l literally too!
This is the result of people that regards themselves and our people, as nothing but n*****s, and our lives, and their’s as worthless. During the 20′s, and 30′s, there were similar violence in the white ghettos of New York, and Chicago, but those were mostly gang vs, gang, and the government eventually ended that crime spree. This is our problem, and we can’t blame this on the white man, nor wait for him to resolve it for us. Our first step should be to teach our children that they are not n*****s, and gangsters, as these filthy rappers tell them they are, they are intelligent, and beautiful people, that are worthy of living a long and prosperous life. We need to start dropping a dime on every individual, or group that sells drugs, or commit other crimes against our people, without the fear of being labeled an snitch. We also should use every means to not move into crime infested areas, just to be around people that look like us, but act like animals. Another thing is to not let your children hang around thugs, give them curfews, and make sure you know where they are at all the time. These are just some of the things that we can do to change our way of life, and I’m sure that there are many others. But, don’t listen to these race hustlers, because they offer nothing, but the same old ” It’s Racism”, or ” White Conspiracy” garbage. If it is true that this is a plan by the white establishment to destroy our community, and we know it, but we still kill ourselves, what does that say about the intelligence of our people. No the blame lies on these dirty black thugs, gang members, and rappers. Who consider themselves n*****s, and the rest of us as useless, and expendable trash, and that is who we need to rid our neighborhoods of.
it’s just sad to see that people don’t care about life anymore they don’t care if they live or die wihat is this world coming too…
The killing should stop it is getting out of control.all the kids are dying and babys dying too. We should have a stop the killing rally and turn the guns in.
It is not just Chicago, I live in Ohio, it’s every where. Just not as many in one night, not yet anyway. Is it because of the economy, or are young people that angry ?
There is 15 million dollars or more that was raised for the NATO Summit and left in Emmanuel’s hands. So far he has pledged $150,000. of it to fund scholarships to children of immigrants. This administration is a team of incompetence! The police chief is a moron and the Mayor is an idiot and the list goes on. The Chicago Suntimes published an article about how easy it is for these guys to get guns and how they admit to walking the streets with them-sometimes in their girlfriend’s purses. Going a step further, its no secret that Arab stores and CPD are also suppliers of guns, including assult weapons. Emmanuel has it all wrong just as Daley: either you eliminate guns or you give everyone one-Period! There are no so called values in Chicago when you have rapper Chief Keif headlining lolapollooza-a known gangbanger who has admitted to much of the shootings. The radio sation WGCI helps promote the idiocy by promoting this garbage-another disservice to our community. When will it end? We are living in a time when no one feels responsible for anyone.
