Mayor Emanuel and CPD Superintendent McCarthy respond to a violent Fourth of July weekend
Mayor Emanuel and CPD Superintendent McCarthy respond July 6, 2015, to another violent weekend after increased security efforts by Chicago police. The youngest victim of this past weekend’s gun violence was a 7-year-old boy; police say the boy's father was the intended target. (WGN TV)
Among those killed was 7-year-old Amari Brown, shot in the chest as he watched fireworks near his father's home in Humboldt Park late Saturday night. Police say they believe the attack was aimed at the father, whom they described as a ranking gang member.
Also gunned down was 17-year-old Vonzell Banks, who was shot as he played basketball Friday at a park named for Hadiya Pendleton, a high school student fatally shot in 2013 near President Barack Obama's Chicago home.

@rlawrence You have to take into account the advances in medical technology, EMS capabilities and response times, and 911 cellular response elements into that equation to give those numbers a realistic contrast... If we had 1970s medical response tech the murder rate would double. The best...

The wounded included a 16-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl shot shortly after midnight Sunday as they walked in Old Town, and a 19-year-old man shot around 10 p.m. Saturday as two groups fought near Navy Pier after the fireworks display there.
The violence peaked from dusk Saturday until dawn Sunday, when 30 people were shot across Chicago -- nearly half the total for the entire weekend, measured from 3 p.m. Thursday until just before dawn Monday.

Editorial: From Sandy Hook to Charleston to Chicago
Last Fourth of July, 82 people were shot, 16 of them fatally, over 84 hours. Five of those shot were wounded by police. There were no police-involved shootings this year.
The shootings this Fourth of July were primarily scattered across the South and West sides.
Englewood -- the police district with more shootings than any other in the city so far this year -- did not have a single person shot over the holiday weekend.
A number of other neighborhoods saw several shootings: Little Village, four people shot; Back of the Yards, six shot; and the Austin neighborhood, eight people shot.
Two North Side neighborhoods -- Old Irving Park and Albany Park -- each had shootings in which three people were wounded. One man died in the Albany Park shooting./quote]

No confederate flags involved??
How could that be?
I'm just guessing that most, if not all, victims were black.
With very little effort this problem could correct itself....

A slow quiet weekend there.
Got a kick out of a stand up comic from there on TV one evening. Said he was on a bit of downer as his brother had just died. Natural causes though, as it was a drive by shooting.

To over half of America, if it's not on MSM frequently, it didn't happen. I doubt it's been on MSM at all, so it didn't happen.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Gunfire on the 4th is a long standing tradition in the ghettos of Chicago.
Matter of fact, the police used to close the streets going into and out of Cabrini-Green for just that reason.

Now a group of activists are suing some surrounding towns because guns from gunshops in their towns have been linked to crimes in Chicago.
