#12 Update - Chicago Tribune: More than 100 people shot in Chicago over long Fourth of July weekend. Chicago saw one of its most violent Fourth of July weekends in recent years: At least 101 people were shot between Friday afternoon and early Wednesday, nearly half of them over 12 hours as the long holiday drew to a close. Fifteen of the wounded died. The last time the Fourth holiday spanned four full days was in 2013, when July 4 fell on a Thursday and many people had Friday off. At least 74 people were shot between Wednesday evening and early Monday that year, and 12 of them died, according to Tribune data. The violence this year was largely confined to the South and West sides, including districts where the department has installed what it calls strategic decisions support centers and predictive technology. Hundreds of officers on overtime were also deployed to those districts. |

#10 I don't believe they care either way, Pappy. It's all about their perceived 'honor' amongst peers. Anything that gets in the way can live poorly or die. Just by firing a weapon in some enemy's general direction shows that they're 'dangerous' and deserve respect. F*'d up, but that's how they think. |

#9 The numbers are misleading and do not count the wounded and dead who are drug away by their compatriots. |

#8 Ever get the impression that Chicago's thugs are aiming to wound, but kill by accident? |

#7 Chicago could be promoted for the tourists as: "Visit Chicago; its safer than Caracas, Venezuela where they had 4308 murders in 2016." |
