OT: How many happened at 2 am?

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
Perhaps off-topic. Perhaps not. Either case, this just makes me want to puke.
This past weekend, seven people were killed and 35 injured in Chicago, including a 16-year old girl shot dead.
Last weekend, eight were killed and 46 hurt in Chicago. The youngest to die was another 16-year old.
The weekend before, there were three murders and 29 injured.
Where are the outcries of protest over these murders? Where is Rachel Maddow? Where is Al Sharpton?
I know some people laughed at the "bitch" thread. I know some thought it was the stupidest thread ever. But I just can't help but think that acceptance of such rude language and the blamket degradation of women, is symptom of something more heinous amongst our young people.
Yeah, as another said - it's a slow day. So this old man will get off his soapbox now.

Its mostly gang related but still...that's no excuse.
To me, law enforcement needs to take back the streets akin to what Gulliani did in NYC in the 90s. Yes, there are some that will have issue w.r.t. strong police tactics; but personally I’d rather have the police in charge of the streets, even if sometimes they may overstep their boundaries and harass innocent people, than have the gangsters, that don’t adhere to any rules, rule the streets.
It is also bug season in the north. I wonder how ferocious the Chicago gangbangers would be if they had to deal with voracious flies, mosquitoes, noseeums, horseflies?
