During the first two weeks of nice temperatures in Chicago this year--which included Easter weekend--the city was beset with some 100 shootings with nearly a dozen dead. This intense violence has earned the Windy City a brand new nickname bestowed by its own citizens: "Chiraq."
Over Easter weekend, there were 45 separate shooting victims in Chicago, four of which died. The previous weekend saw 35 shootings in only 36 hours that resulted in several more deaths. There were even more shootings and deaths during the intervening days between the weekends, as well. All this violence has turned Chicago into a war zone.
Many of those killed were teens and preteens. In one incident, four girls between 11 and 15 years of age and one teen boy were shot by gang members at a city playground.

It's very simple. Chicago is a war zone because of democrats and their policies. Their anything goes platform creates chaos.
No surprise. Violence - "Rappers War" - due to entertainers that preach violence and a gang-style life? No surprise at all.
At the very real risk of appearing racist (which I am not), some cultures would call this the "culling of the herd".
The saddest thing about it though, is the collateral damage. Innocents being shot and killed.
It's only going to get worse.
Prepare for a long, hot summer - all over America.
Wow they need to ban guns, oh that's right they already did that!
I used to think I wasn't a racist , but now I wonder!
Is that like Buryistan?
Somebody just needs to teach them how to shoot.
Turn Chiraq over to the BLM and declare unarmed sub-teens a protected species. Instead of riding to the defense of turtles they can protect some humans.
This must be wrong...they have the toughest gun laws in the country!....DUH liberals ruining the country....
It is because of what lives there, a city with a percentage of Blacks that is almost 3/4 and not a single whole family in that percentage. (8 out of every 10 Black children are born out of wedlock and no father in the home). Then there is the drug culture, and having no father, they congregate to the gangs for a "Family".
