Wuhan virus ain’t gonna stop some folk from keeping on with their regular business…
From MyFoxChicago: Seven people were killed and 14 more were wounded Tuesday in shootings across Chicago, making it the most violent day of 2020 so far as temperatures reached summer-like levels for the first time this year.
A man was killed Tuesday evening in a shooting that left a 5-year-old girl and two other people wounded in Gresham.
About 7:35 p.m., a group of people were sitting on the front porch of a home in the 8600 block of South Damen Avenue when someone in a black sedan fired shots, Chicago police said.
Paul Boyd, a 37-year-old Hazel Crest man, was shot in the chest and pronounced dead at Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.
A 5-year-old girl who was shot in the foot was taken to Little Company of Mary Hospital in good condition, police said. A 24-year-old man shot in both arms was taken to the same hospital in good condition, while a 22-year-old man who was shot in the leg was taken to Christ Medical Center in good condition.

Aren’t they afraid of catching the virus from the bullets?
Where I live, almost 100% of the shooters and those shot each year are career criminals, drug dealers, gang members, or all three. Let them keep thinning the herd as there are few instances when the death penalty is carried out……….
21 Shot,7 Killed,0 Arrested…….
That’s S.O.P. for the windy city, as well as its airhead mayor who is incapable of doing anythging but make sure she has a new doo. Sort of like Nero who fiddled while Rome burned.
Amazing
Same here in the LA area—-“the virus” has not slowed down traffic fatalities, or people killing each other…or little children being shot on the front porch or in car-to-car shootings….. This is amazing. “Life” as we know it in LA and Chiraq goes on “as usual,” no matter what.
Crime is up in our town, too. So much so that the city is forming a “task force” to study the issue. Doesn’t take s brain surgeon nor a task force to understand why…
As expected—-the lawless remain lawless, even during pandemic…and maybe ESPECIALLY during pandemic. Keep your powder dry.
Gotta stay off the front porches. Go in the back yard, people. Criminals just shoot for fun. Mayor is to blame.
Emily…off topic…but….your cat pic took my breath away…I just lost my Tuxedo Cat “So Cute” who looked like this (he also had 1/2 a little white “mustache”) . Name was originally “Oreo” but every time I picked him up, I said he was “so cute.” One day he got lost in the big house as a kitten….& my husband was in panic b/c he could not find him…calling “Oreo” all day. When I got home from work, I said, “Let’s try calling “SO CUTE.” The minute we called “So Cute,” he came out from a hiding place under a couch.… Read more »
