Fun and games in Chicago

Up to 14 people were shot in a drive-by shooting in Chicago on Monday night, police said, including a 3-year-old and two other children. 

No deaths had been reported. The condition of those wounded ranged from critical to not life-threatening, Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said at a news conference. An additional person was struck by a vehicle, he said.

I did the Google Earth Street View deal on the intersection provided by the article. Let's just say a white man wouldn't be welcome in that neighborhood.

    Gee it's too bad the news of this horrific incident was overshadowed by the MSM round-the-clock reporting of the gay sex tryst in San Francisco that's been reported as a Trump inspired, far right-wing, MAGA conspiracy to overthrow the government. But priorities are priorities.

      Right, Bogside. Sorry to hijack the thread, but the events at Casa de Pelosi are just too funny to pass by -

      Garfield Park, adjacent to the infamous Austin neighborhood on Chicago's west side, is the bloodiest and most dangerous neighborhood in Chicago this year. Year to date, 40 dead, 209 wounded, 249 total shot.

      You don't want to drive through that neighborhood, even in bright daytime hours. Not even in a cop car. Folks in that neighborhood are infected with the gimme-gimme's.

    "Let's just say a white man wouldn't be welcome in that neighborhood. "

    Wouldn't be SAFE within blocks of that intersection, not even during daylight.

    I think the local term is "the Chicago omelet". Scrambled eggs with rancid onions.
