They might as well wear a shirt that says, “SHOOT ME—I’M STUPID.” Walking around a city between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. is asking for it—and they get it.

“(abc7) chicago – memorial day weekend violence has left nine people dead and 34 others wounded, chicago police said.

“police said three people were shot while standing on the sidewalk in the 9100-block of south Harper avenue when someone drove up and fired at around 1:45 a.m.

“a 59-year-old man, 57-year-old woman, and a 77-year-old man were all hit and transported to local hospitals.

[GRA: The trifecta!]

“the violence happening despite Mayor Brandon Johnson's new safety plan, to increase police on the streets and include community groups to help curb violence in the city.”

[GRA: What does that tell anyone? This is plan #243 that doesn’t “work.”]

“over the weekend, 35-year-old William Hair was one of five people shot over the past four days in lakeview, police are saying they plan to increase patrols in that area.”

[N.S.: Do-nothing patrols, which serve as a pretext for more overtime orgies.]

“meanwhile in englewood, mayor Johnson joined community members in a game of cards at an event aimed to bring families together to prevent gun violence.”

[GRA: The game must be “spades,” the opposite of “hearts.”]

“a man was killed and a woman was injured in a west Garfield park shooting early sunday, police said. the 35-year-old man and 30-year-old woman were sitting in a parked car in the 4100-block of west Taylor street around 2:09 a.m. when someone fired shots, chicago police said.
