So I thought I would see what the weekend was like. HeyJackass! has an update on the crime. Mostly Raggedy Weekend
For the entire time we’ve been tracking this nonsense, at least once a year (usually around Memorial Day) some politician, “activist” or other brain damaged member of the kakistocracy says it’s time to bring in the National Guard. Surprisingly, pro-criminal pols, justice-involved violence influencers and associated grifters are now against such a move.
The weekend totals were 3 killed and 27 shot and wounded.
That is less than last year, and significantly less than the city saw in the aftermath of The Summer of Love. It is nearly identical to 2023, and down from the average from 2015 through current day.
HeyJackass! tracks weekends in a couple of ways, but usually by the weeks since the start of the year. That only changes if the weekend is also a 3-day weekend, which can change a bit from year to year, depending on what day of the week January 1st falls. The weekend, for the purposes of these stats is from 12 noon on Friday until 6AM Monday morning. That will change if Monday is part of a 3-day weekend.
So what would be the correct number of homicides for a city Chicago's size?
