#5   there were 8 homicides,

Before I hit "Submit", I thought about going over to Hey Jackass and getting up-to-date totals because, dollars to donuts, they're going to be higher. Of course, I didn't.

#4  Actually, there were 8 homicides, and 31 wounded, over the weekend in the Windy City.

Still doesn't affect your math, SteveS.

#3   none of my guns got violent with me over the weekend.

Possibly because you regard them as tools and not magical talismans with a life and powers all their own.

As for "bloody weekend", 6 dead in a population of ~2.7 million is only 0.0002 percent. According to my Journalism Style Guide, this is "mostly not dead".
