Eight Killed, More Than 25 Shot In Chicago Holiday Weekend Bloodbath
2013-09-04
[BREITBART] At least eight people are dead and more than 25 others were wounded in shootings over Labor Day weekend in Rahm Emanuel's Chicago. The shootings were widespread, from the far south and west sides of the city and spanning north into neighborhoods that see far fewer shooting incidents normally.

At lease one shooting occurred in one of the city’s newly created “Safe Passage” routes, designated to provide a gun-free zone for Chicago students to get to school.

In the midst of Chicago’s bloody holiday, Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy continued to tout the city’s overall decline in murders from 2012 and push for “stronger gun laws.”

#10  Dr. Steve, is it bad enough yet to convince you to come back to MCFree?

We'd love to have you.

#9  Looks like a civil war is going on there. Maybe the airforce should bomb it and see if that works?

#7  I'm betting that not one of those shooting incidents involved a legal firearm.

#6  Whahahaha. I never venture closer than the confines of O'Hare, Elgin, or St. Chas.

#5  Depends, some of the safe passages are indeed near the Red Line: that runs from Howard to 95th. Check with the CTA for scheduling information...

#1  Part of my route to work every day takes me past a couple of these 'Safe Passage' streets. The folks are out in force. There are people wearing yellow T-shirts and some others wearing blue T-shirts. What the shirts say I don't know. I've seen a few Chicago cops on these streets but not many, and only a couple squad cars.

Seems like they're trying to make it work. Question is, why haven't they been doing this all along?
