42 Shot Over Labor Day Weekend in Chicago
Sep 5, 2017 — A woman was killed in an apparent homicide-suicide, and eight other people, including a 15-year-old boy, were wounded in shootings Monday in Chicago, police said, bringing to at least 42 the number of people shot this Labor Day weekend in the city, five of them fatally. The Chicago Tribune does not count suicides in its shooting data.

On Monday evening, a man shot a woman multiple times and then turned the gun on himself in an apparent homicide-suicide in the Austin neighborhood, according to a police media notification. The woman, 26, was shot several times and the man, 34, was believed to have shot himself in the head. They were both taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead. Police released no information about the circumstances of the shooting, except to say that it was believed to be a domestic attack. The 15-year-old boy suffered a gunshot wound to the back in the Lawndale neighborhood Monday night, according to a police media notification. Information on his condition and the circumstances of the attack wasn’t immediately released.

In other shootings Monday:

—A 24-year-old man was shot Monday afternoon in the Marquette Park neighborhood, police said in a media notification. The man was shot in the right thigh and taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where his condition was stabilized. He was not cooperating with investigators, according to police.

—Not long before, a 19-year-old in Chicago Lawn on the Southwest Side was shot in the leg and buttocks, police said. He was walking on West 61st Street when a vehicle approached and an occupant of the vehicle began firing at him. The 19-year-old checked himself in at Holy Cross Hospital, where he was listed in serious condition before he was transferred to Mount Sinai Hospital, officers said.

Police lift crime scene tape in unison in the 4300 block of West Wilcox Street early Saturday, Sept. 2, 2017, in Chicago. Two people were shot at the scene and transported to Stroger Hospital, some of the more than 40 people shot over Labor Day weekend in the city.​

—Just before 3:05 p.m., a woman suffered a gunshot wound to the leg in the Gage Park neighborhood, according to police. She was taken for treatment to Holy Cross Hospital, where her condition was stabilized.

—Two men, including a 39-year-old, were fighting in an alley in South Chicago about 10:45 a.m. A third man suddenly got out of a nearby vehicle and shot at them, hitting the 39-year-old in a foot. The man later went to Mercy Hospital, where he was listed in good condition.

About 15 minutes before that, two people were shot in Grand Crossing, also on the South Side, about 10:30 a.m., police said. A man, 24, and a second man, 30, both were shot in the buttocks while standing on East 68th Street. Both of the men were taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where their conditions were stabilized. The men were shot by a man in a black or gray shirt who came up to them, started shooting, then took off on foot.

About 9 a.m. a 24-year-old man was walking on South Merrill Avenue in the South Shore neighborhood when a man wearing a red hoodie ran up to him and started firing at him. The man was hit multiple times, police said, and was rushed to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where his condition was stabilized. The shooter took off running in an unknown direction. Additional details weren’t released.

Peanuts! Look where Mayor Rahm’s got ‘em now. In the Big Leagues, baby! Seventy-two shot with an even dozen killed is one hell of a weekend series in any dimocrat run city. I’m betting it’s all that ballet training the tough former tutu star mayor has incorporated into the team’s training schedule finally paying dividends.

So you tell the police that any time they interact with a gang-banger it will be under a microscope,...

And you tell the same thing to the gang-bangers,...

What do you think is going to happen?

It won't be the police that are getting killed this summer; they are smart enough to protect themselves, one way or another. It will be other gang-bangers and innocent bystanders in the "Black" community.

But since Black lives don't matter (much), WGAS?

Yes. Demand cops go head first into the Chicago war zone....for 40-50 hours a week...every week....and then tell them EVERY interaction....every word...ever move they make....will be taped and scrutinized for hours by media, lawyers and activists.......and one mistake means they get fired and go to jail. But demand they go right up in there and fix the chaos.

OR.......

The cops can just say fuck it....get coffee....hide behind a WalMart.....and get the same paycheck.


Hmmmmm.....hard choice.

Progressives lack the thinking dynamic to get how that works in the real world.

"Chicago, of course, isn’t alone with an increase in violence. Nearly every big city in the country is seeing murder and violence rates rise, mostly in minority communities. It is a problem being dubbed the “Ferguson effect,” as officers retreat from crime plagued communities in order to avoid being called “racists” by Black Lives Matter-induced complaints.

Even the U.S. government has made note of this problem. Just this week FBI director James Comey said he believes police officers all across the country are being less aggressive on the streets because of the “Ferguson effect.” That and a “viral video effect” has officers everywhere afraid to confront lawbreakers.

Indeed, even Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel complained that police are “going fetal” and retreating from confrontations, which in turn is allowing crime to spike,

“We have allowed our Police Department to get fetal, and it is having a direct consequence,” Emanuel said last year."
