7 People Murdered In Chicago On Wednesday

by Daniel Greenfield: Will the last person still alive in Chicago turn out the light?

This isn't 7 people murdered over the weekend. We're used to that kind of thing from Chicago. This is 7 people murdered in one weekday. In a city obsessed with gun control, but that fails at gang control.Homicides are now outpacing last year in Chicago after the city experienced its deadliest day so far this year, according to data kept by the Tribune.

Seven people were shot to death on Wednesday, five of them killed over two hours, including a woman who was eight months pregnant and had already picked out a name for her baby.

That's the most homicides since Christmas Day last year, when eight people were killed in the city.

Homicides had been lagging behind last year, which had been the deadliest in two decades. But by Wednesday evening, the city had recorded its 99th homicide two days earlier than it did last year, according to Tribune data.Chicago currently leads the nation in lethal daily killings by those oppressed folks who escaped the school to prison mass incarceration pipeline... and in insane taxes.While homicides had been down most of this year, the number of people shot has been higher almost from the beginning. As of Wednesday evening, at least 495 people had been shot in Chicago, nearly 60 more than this time last year, according to Tribune data.That's almost 500 people shot in less than two months. Those are Syria numbers.

Democrats have run Chicago and numerous other major cities into the ground. And their only solution is to double down on the same disastrous pro-crime, municipal union giveaways and higher tax policies.
