After a week of rain, it was a nice Saturday in the Upper Midwest and you know what that means: lead flying among the exuberant urban youths, joggers, breadcrumbs and aspiring rappers. Hey Jackass! knew what was coming and they were correct, with all of Sunday still to go:
43 shot already and Sunday is looking like a perfect day in Chicago for the typical warm weather activities: grilling out, playing basketball, twerking and of course drive-by shootings. It is already 68 and sunny as of 9:30 heading for a high of 75 degrees. That spells more trouble in the Windy City.
The weekend has already had plenty of ugliness including an obligatory mass shooting.
A girl died and ten other people were injured after a shooting at a family gathering on the city’s South Side.
The shooting happened at about 9:18 p.m. near 52nd Street and South Damen Avenue, in the Back of the Yards neighborhood, Chicago police said.
Officers responded to a ShotSpotter alert for 18 gunshot rounds at the location, police said. They found multiple people shot and started performed live-saving measures on the victims.
A witness said they saw a black sedan approach the area, and someone unknown started shooting into the crowd before fleeing southbound on Damen Avenue, Chicago police said in an update on Sunday.

Some of those shot likely were saved because police were dispatched almost immediately thanks to ShotSpotter, a system that the mayor of Chicago wants to eliminate because it is “racist”. Other than the 8 year old girl shot and killed, several other chidlins were also wounded…
An 8-year-old girl was shot in the head, she was taken to the hospital where she later died.
Here’s the latest on the surviving children according to police:
-A 1-year-old boy was shot in the abdomen and is in critical condition.
-An 8-year-old boy was shot in the abdomen and is in critical condition.
-A 9-year-old boy’s hand was grazed by a bullet, he is expected to be okay.
Most of my readers are gun owners and many are gun enthusiasts and shooters. Imagine shooting into a crowd where children were present. You can’t imagine it because you aren’t a piece of shit like the two joggers that shot into the crowd knowing damn well that kids were there. Of the adults shot, none died of course but a bunch were shot in the feet and legs. Solid shooting with your stolen Glocks equipped with switches no doubt.
The day is just getting started in cities around the country and the Glocks are being loaded as we speak. Somehow all of this is of course my fault.
It feels so surreal to hit the "Like" button, but brizzles is gunna brizzle, whether we "Like" it or not.
No, it’s not your fault. It’s mine. Somehow.
