Four people were killed and 22 others were injured in shootings in Chicago this weekend, including a man wounded by police and two young sisters struck in the legs while riding in a car, according to police. The latest gun violence brings the number of people shot in the city this year to at least 348, according to data kept by the Tribune. There have been at least 76 homicides. The numbers continue a trend of fewer shootings and fewer homicides this year than in the last two years, when violence hit record levels in the city. Shootings are still substantially higher than other recent years.

348 people shot in 2 months this year. Where is the outrage, where are the news crews crawling over every inch of government. Oh this is a Liberal run city/state. So shhhhh. Quiet. Oh look over there, the GOP run state has a school shooting. Blame the NRA and gun owners (for the Sheriff and FBI's screwup.)

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
