The number of people shot in Chicago is running 50 percent above this time last year as the city braces for the summer, traditionally its most violent period.

So far this year, at least 1,382 people have been shot in Chicago and at least 244 of them have died of their wounds. Last year at this time, 904 people had been shot, 157 of them fatally.

May already has seen summerlike gun violence. More people have been killed so far this month than in all of May 2015.

Stop shooting people. People want to go for a walk to get ice cream and stuff and end up getting shot. It's not right and I won't stand for it.

Seriously though, what the gently caress is wrong with Chicago?

Don't worry man, Al Sharpton is on the case.

Black Lives Matter is scheduling to protest this violence, correct?

tldr on Chicago:

Breaking up the big gangs has led to splintered "blocks," or small scale street gangs that spring up on a specific street (e.g. 87th st. Satan's Disciples). the problem is, when the larger gangs were around the leadership was all about the money and reduced violence. If you hurt or killed an innocent you'd be dealt with internally.

Now the blocks are splintered and have social media beefs. A 92nd st. Satan's Disciple member could very well have beef with one on the aforementioned 87th st. The net result is exploding violence in the south ad west sides.

Oh boy, we can't break up gangs too big to fail!

Probably safe to assume this was not as racist as it got but this is where I tapped out.

Chicago is going to have the same homicide rate in 2100.

Toronto had like 4 stabbings and 4 shootings over the weekend and people are basically calling for martial law to stop the violence lol

But that would be racist, no?
