How many people will get shot on the 4th of July weekend in Chicago this year?

[RLLD 3,455]

It's that time of year to again try to guess how badly Democrats can manage crime in their locales.

So far in Chicago the last 2 weekends 106 shot, 14 fatally, and most recently 63 shot,, 16 fatally. 

What's the prediction for this coming weekend? Last year was 68 shot 5 dead for the weekend.

I'm taking the over on the 68 from last year.

great question.  sign me up for 187.. but BLM will be no where to be found, 'cause those black lives dont matter.. especially when other blacks are the trigger men..

youngest = 4, ....94 dead

[NorthernVike 2,080]

I'm going with 346.  I may be low but with the price of gas, I think I'll be close.  

[DonS 3,067]

I'll go with 137.

We need a tie breaker in case more than 1 person has the correct number.  I propose we also pick the age of youngest shooting victim.  I'm going to say youngest will be a 2 year old.

Point of order:  does the 4th weekend include Monday the 4th?  So say, Friday evening through Monday?

Going to make it this year.  101 with a 26% clip rate.   

26/101 is my guess.

[Horseman 1,514]

Just noticed this thread completely rip van winkled through 2021.  Need an over/under update!

[Horseman 1,514]

Youngest will be an infant.  Under 1 yo.  If the numbers fall short I'll just start including abortions!

Well, the holiday on Monday is for working people but technically it is part of the weekend so it should be included.

Soros funded DA in Philly. But but crime is up everywhere, right Hack? 

[DonS 3,067]

No idea where Highland Park is in relation to Chicago.  Does this event qualify for the shooting totals?

Wait I heard he’s a trump supporter. So guns are safe 

[weepaws 2,460]

Guns are safe, I’ve never seen a loaded gun sitting on its own do any damage to anyone or anything.  

Ive seen and heard of sick wicked people, probably booze drinking people that use them to hurt or kill.  But a gun left to its self can’t do that.

It's inconclusive. He attends Trump parades dressed like Where's Waldo, but his twitter handles is full of "likes" on posts regarding the arresting of Jan 6th protests... so those behaviors would seem to contradict each other.  Meanwhile an uncle was unaware of his political views.

Nobody wants him to claim him but they'd love to stick him on the other team. I think once you get face tattoos, you start operating in the nutbag category.

Dude has got a "Socialist International" tattoo - I kind of doubt he's a big Trump or Republican guy

The twerp couldn’t even spell politics let alone have an opinion.

This is a valid point as it is a bit unseemly to be saying "he's one of yours" and "no - he's yours" back and forth after these events happen. 

However, at this current time and place I would say that because the left has been pushing this BS narrative that the "greatest terrorist threat in the US is from white supremacist's" and discounting the left's destruction and murder that there is a purpose in pointing out where these sh!tbags are getting radicalized/coming from.     And since, in my opinion, the "white supremacist" threat in the US is straight up misinfo/disinfo being used for political manipulation, there is some utility in noting that this guy probably didn't get his ideas to shoot up a parade while attending a Young Americas Foundation convention. . . 

[edjr 5,564]

Massachusetts had 9 on the 3rd of July. Haven't seen the stats for July 4th or how many were white

[avoiding injuries 1,220]

This is an early tally, but the article says 71 shot, youngest was 10.

A few Geeks ran in to celebrate. If Utoilet were here he would have said they deserve it for living in a Democrat city.

Stay classy Geek Club.

No. It's not that the people deserve it. It's still a tragedy.

It's seeing leftoid radicals and their alligned liberal/leftoid politicians who blame cops and defund the police, reduce penalties, manufacture fake "racial justice" rage, don't prosecute minor crimes while major crimes get light to no sentences, open up prisons, wonder why their policies don't work and their cities turn to sh*t and make excuses for what's totally obvious to everybody else. it' that leftism and liberalism is a focking failure, the people who subscribe to it are proven to be focking stupid, and they reap the results that they sew.

It's like: "Told ya so. my gawd, you guys are focking dumb as dirt."

The kind of people who keep a running counter of shooting deaths in a city to make a lame partisan point are just fundamentally broken as human beings and should be ashamed.
