2021-07-27
[FOXNEWS] There have been 137 shootings on reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
-area expressways so far this year as of Sunday, Illinois State Police confirmed to Fox News. There were 128 expressway shootings in Chicago in all of 2020, and 52 in all of 2019.

Dan Ryan Expressway, which runs from Circle Interchange with I-290 near downtown through the South Side, is perhaps the most dangerous highway in Chicago. A Jeep Wrangler was riddled with bullet holes near 37th Street on the Dan Ryan Wednesday, which marked the 43rd shooting so far this year on that roadway.

#3  Victims rarely cooperate with police and often know their assailants.

Also tells me most of them deserve it. The others are Darwin's FU to blue voters.

#2  Victims rarely cooperate with police and often know their assailants.

Let them sort it out on their own then. Court and detention costs are saved. Staying off the Dan Ryan is definitely a wise move. It's a win-win all around.

#1  How about replacing the words 'gun violence' with 'black violence' in all reports and texts? Just a thought.
