Chicago Keeps Surpassing Expectations

And not in a good way. HeyJackass! has the details. Shitshow of the Year

There was a time when this weekend was a lock for one of the most violent of the year, but these days it’s just another weekend with an extra day thrown in. However, this year may be additionally stupid because Outta Town Brown’s City Council No Ring Circus apparently cut into his office time where he’s still trying to figure out the grid system.

Final Downward Trend: 21 killed, 91 wounded
2020 weekend tally: 21 killed, 71 wounded
2019 weekend tally: 7 killed, 69 wounded

Different organizations track the weekend in different ways. At least one counts the weekend as starting at 5PM on Friday. And this was a 3-day weekend... HeyJackass! counts the weekend as starting on 12PM Friday, and running through 6AM Tuesday.
