Mass shooting this weekend but not where you think
How about Chicago!
7 killed and 46 wounded.
Hospitals were over whelmed and had to divert wounded people to other trauma centers.
How can this happen in a place with some of the strictest gun laws in the World.

A hospital in Chicago was forced to stop accepting patients as it was at full capacity following multiple gang-related shootings.
Mount Sinai Hospital had to temporarily stop letting patients in on Sunday morning, an official said.
At one point, the hospital was treating 12 shooting patients, according to Roberta Rakove, Senior VP for External Affairs.
She said it went 'on bypass' in the early morning, a term which is used when a hospital diverts ambulances to other trauma centers.
Mount Sinai Hospital is one of five trauma centers in Chicago, according to Rakove.

Nothing unusual
https://heyjackass.com/0 -
proves a few things
strict gun laws do not work
black on black crime no body cares
they know ( government ) there is nothing they can do to stop it with out being called out as raciest
same with the news noting new beating a dead horse reporting it0 -
According to the libs, gang killings don't matter, it's the 'packed in the enclosed spaces" where one one can react---shootings that will bring out the media that count.
How about CNN hang out on a S. Chicago street corner on a hot Sat. night all by themselves. They would be all about police protection.0 -
I have said all along that it is not about gun violence with the anti-gunners, it is about gun control and ultimately confiscation.
There is no value in talking about shootings in Chicago or NYC where it is almost impossible to legally acquire or possess firearms. This does not fit their narrative that gun control works.
It has nothing to do with the number shot/killed overall, it has to do with the number in one location. Mass numbers are a great news lead and if it bleeds it leads.0 -
Dollar to a doughnut that the majority of them were committed along with racial hatred type comments toward the victims, before or after the events. 0
