HeyJackass! brings us Pride Weekend Stupidity. At least how it played out in Chicago.
Typically, this weekend competes with St. Pats or Halloween for the stupidity title up north, especially come Sunday evening, whereas elsewhere continues to do what elsewhere does.
Final Joyful Tally: 8 killed, 33 wounded
Those totals were lower than the past few years. Though they do include one 6-month-old infant who was shot in the head, and died, and one 4-year-old who was beaten to death in a case of child abuse. But the lower number of deaths and shootings will let the powers-that-be celebrate that Crime-Is-Down.
It really was a wonderful city, at one time.
If you want the details, there are links at the article linked above to stories on those two tragedies. And more.
So how bad are things when 8 deaths and 33 shot-and-wounded over a weekend that should be a celebration is a good year?
