Four people, including a 17-year-old boy, were fatally shot between Friday evening and Monday morning. They were among 43 people shot in Chicago during the weekend.
Two men were shot, one fatally, in the 3400 block of West Douglas Boulevard in Lawndale around 3 p.m. Sunday, police said. A 43-year-old man was in front of an apartment building when a light-colored vehicle pulled up. A person inside the vehicle pulled out a firearm and shot the man, who suffered a gunshot wound to his head. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he died. He had not been identified by the Cook County medical examiner’s office early Monday.
Another man, 32, suffered gunshot wounds to his left leg in the same attack. He took himself to Stroger Hospital where his condition was stabilized.
Police said a 44-year-old man was found lying outside with a gunshot wound to his chest in the 600 block of East 92nd Place on Saturday at 10:40 p.m. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 10:52 p.m. and later identified as Edward Hudson, according to the medical examiner’s office.
Early Monday, three men standing in the street suffered gunshot wounds as they were shot from the sidewalk in 8800 block of South Parnell Avenue in Gresham. A 33-year-old man was taken to University of Chicago Hospital with wounds to his left leg and back. He was listed in serious condition.

Just more of the Democrat Chicago Charge of the Lightfoot Brigade that dwarfs in casualties and deaths the Ukrainian Balaklava charge of the British Light Brigade where only the 600 perished. The confusion and lost or mismanaged orders there cost the British only a small regiment. In Chicago the entire city is under a fusillade bombardment of incompetence that defines the plethora of casualties endured in the Chicago Black community since the Democrats began their mismanagement decades ago, of the inner city social parade of fools and false promises that has created the violence of human sufferings unleashed in envy, entitlement, and revenge on the innocence they claimed they would protect and benefit. Not even the black children can escape their cannonades of social incompetence that looks the other way when laws are broke, then cries wolf way too often and points fingers at others for their very own misunderstanding of basic human nature that turns Chicago communities into less than human living conditions. Only a resurrected MLK could pull them out of the social plunge promulgated by the Lightfoot crew of incompetence, and even his powers of persuasion at this point might prove too little too late to clean the damaged brains and souls of what this party of political panderers and human polluters have so far produced. Time to clean House beginning in the basement where the current leaders reside, and our current Preident hid out in during the past election.
Chicago was at one time a very lovely city – I liked it a lot. But now, it a hellhole. Joining other cities like Detroit, Baltimore (I lived in the suburbs for 38 years; at one time a very nice city), St. Loius (the current murder capital of the US), Poetland, Seattle (again a city I very much liked – in the early 1980s), and San Francisco (probably number one). Now they’re all shoot holes.
Just another day in da hood.. MAY that asteroid that is going to wipe it out, SWIFTLY SHOW UP!
Republicans were the first to be chased out of Chicago, then affluent democrats, and now anyone else who has proven to be honest and productive.

At the risk of meeting the qualifications for the prerequisites to be called “racist”, I offer: Did you expect any other result when the democrat party which has manipulated and exploited blacks throughout its existence was finally taken over by their “property” they’ve propped up and whose soul they’ve destroyed by generations of socialist programs? “The Great Society” and “War on Poverty” obliterated the black nuclear family, welfare and food stamps killed work ethic, affirmative action and quotas dumbed down the people and promoted mediocrity, and now the BLM movement Joe Biden so predictably pandered to has turned black skin color into rationalized soul-less criminals and killers.
