Chicago saw its deadliest day in 60 years with 18 murders in 24 hours on May 31, Fox News reports. This is as protests and riots continued. Chicago has been only Democrat-run for decades.
The 18 deaths tallied by the University of Chicago Crime Lab made May 31, 2020, the single-most violent day in six decades, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Monday. The Crime Lab numbers go back only to 1961.
“We’ve never seen anything like it, at all,” the crime lab’s senior research director, Max Kapustin, told the newspaper. “I don’t even know how to put it into context. It’s beyond anything that we’ve ever seen before.”
“The level of activity experienced over the last week has been unprecedented and the Department is actively investigating multiple incidents across the city and working to determine the motives in these cases,” Chicago Police spokesman Thomas Ahern told the Sun-Times.

These days, it seems like the world is going to Hell in a handcart, as the old saying goes. But Chicago, and other Democrat run areas, are heading there in a rocket ship, because of all their liberal, socialist agendas. Bad as the current mayor of Chicago is, we can’t truly blame her, she’s just a mouthpiece for Pritzker and… Read more »
In addition to the 25 deaths, 85 people were wounded by gunfire in Chicago. That’s 110 people who were shot! And I can just about guarantee that most (if not all) the shooters and victims were black. The Chicago Sun-Times had photos of six of the people who were killed. They were all black and between the ages of 18… Read more »
I believe this is ANOTHER example of FAKE NEWS. Since it is illegal in Chicago to have a gun, these shootings could NOT have occurred – and they outlawed guns – therefore there are no guns. By Law. Simple solution. All fixed. So….stop believing that anyone in Chicago is shot. CAN NOT HAPPEN because they passed those laws. You are… Read more »
Right in line with the revolutionary movement keeping white areas vulnerable to crime while staying silent on blacks killing blacks.
