Last year was a sh*t show of the highest order; it was the deadliest year since the late 1990s. This year a lot of cold and wet weather helped pull the numbers down a bit, but it seems that summer is a bit early. Chicago sees most violent weekend this year: 32 hurt and 6 killed by gunfire - Chicago Sun-Times
Just last week, Chicago Police Supt. David Brown touted encouraging drops in homicides and shootings as the department pushes to tamp down the surging violent crime that has become a serious political liability for Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
But the only stats on Chicago crime you can trust are from HeyJackass! - Mostly Peaceful Weekend.
Aside from Friday, the warmest weekend of the year is here and therefore a Summer Shooting Season sneak peak is on the schedule.
Final Peaceful Tally: 7 killed, 41 wounded
2021 weekend tally: 5 killed, 25 wounded
It was truly a great city. Past tense.
