Funny, how many drive by stabbings happen in Chicago?

how many guns walked away from the factory and shot someone without human intervention. It's a nice ROUND number.

Are we on to that tired excuse from your camp?

Ohhhhhh, sorry. The correct answer was zero, but we would have accepted nada, nil or zilch as well.

“Several surveillance cameras recorded a mass shooting that left four people injured and a fifth dead early Sunday in Wicker Park, but police have not announced any arrests so far.

At least one gunman fired about 30 rounds during three bursts of gunfire as a group of people stood on the sidewalk outside a nightclub in the 1500 block of North Milwaukee around 3:42 a.m.”

“Authorities are not charging five men who were allegedly involved in the deadly gang-related shooting in Chicago on Friday. The state’s attorney’s office reportedly thinks that “mutual” combat combined with a lack of sufficient evidence isn’t a good reason to charge someone.

Three gang members allegedly began shooting at a home in Chicago’s West Side in order to draw members of a rival faction out, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Three individuals inside the home then returned fire. At least one of the alleged gang members was killed while two others were injured.

Police sought murder and aggravated battery charges against the suspects, but all five were released on Sunday, according to the report.

Spokeswoman for the Cook County state’s attorney’s office Cristina Villareal said prosecutors “determined that the evidence was insufficient to meet our burden of proof to approve felony charges,” according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

A police report citing the state’s attorney’s office decision not to press charges said “mutual combatants was cited as the reason for the rejection.” Mutual combat means two parties willingly engaged in some type of fight.”

Is Kim Foxx making this decision?

So it's come to this? Gunfights in the street of a major metropolitan city and no charges are filed?
How can we blame Indiana for this I wonder?

Yes.
For what it’s worth, even Mayor Lightfoot disagrees with her decision:
“She’s got to explain to the public, why?” Lightfoot said. “If the bad guys that are out there that are picking up guns and shooting without any regard for the sanctity of life, do not believe that there’s accountability for them, the brazenness will not end. It will escalate it, it will continue and our communities will not be safe.”
I agree with Lightfoot 100% on this.

4 more shot and killed over the weekend. Closing in on 650 shot and killed since January 1st, with 40 more killed by other means. With the Mayor threatening to fire police officers who choose not to get vaccinated, she may have to start delivering the body bags herself.

Maybe Plant can take a ride up there on our pothole ridden roads and help her out. He's all for defunding the police.
