Ethnic cleansing?

There's some kind of Baltimore rapping tour in Chicago this weekend, that's why. You know, the rap music?

 
BigDumbGuy 2008-04-20 06:30:31 PM  
That's odd. None of this happened anywhere near where my friends, family, and I live. In other words, I don't care.

It's the weather.

We had such a cold and snowy winter no one was outside. Now things are heating up.

 
Molavian 2008-04-20 06:48:54 PM  
Good thing they outlaw guns there.

Oh, and shooting people.

Ahhh spring in the city....

They still haven't identified or arrested the perp who killed five women at the Lane Bryant store in suburban strip mall outside of Chicago over two months ago!

Good thing I live in Manhattan. It's totally safe here.

/totally expensive and kind of a police state, but hey! It's safe.

 
Yesdog [TotalFark] 2008-04-20 08:19:14 PM  
I would guess that it's the first nice weekend after the winter.

You make a lot of enemies over the holidays, but you don't want to have to off 'em when the weather's nasty.

 
HoneyDog 2008-04-20 08:45:37 PM  
Yep, those no gun laws do oh so much good.

 
Malinki 2008-04-20 08:46:51 PM  
I suspect ice cream is at the heart of this.

Probably because they ate him.

Urban cleansing?

Taking out the trash.


 
altinos 2008-04-20 08:48:06 PM  
I'm really glad that guns are illegal there. It makes the city so safe.

2 people stabbed? Maybe they ought to outlaw knives there too!

 
Sir Roderick Ponce von Fontlebottom 2008-04-20 08:48:46 PM  
Weekend ain't over yet. Let's see if we can get it up to 40!

 
Malinki 2008-04-20 08:49:19 PM  
I'm tellin' you, it's the ice cream.

Well, crime statistics were looking to be down from last year. This was the make up weekend.

 
MiamiChef 2008-04-20 08:50:43 PM  
They had it coming!

They were all on a mission from God.

Has Chicago deployed a gunshot detection system?

I know we have one in the works in Minneapolis.

I can only think of two guys:

They called themselves: The Bloody Bandits.

Sounds an awful lot like a small scale zombie attack.

" Learn the signs of an outbreak. It will start small. A zombie outbreak doesn't turn into a Class 3 overnight. A Class 1 outbreak often goes unnoticed, but can be very important. Look for strange homicides, or "accidents," with the number of deaths ranging from 1 to 50. Class 2 outbreaks are more likely to happen in urban or densely populated areas, with zombie numbers ranging from 50 to 200, and total human casualties reaching several hundred more. The attack will not last much longer than a Class 1 (a couple days to a couple weeks). There is almost always press accompanying a Class 2 outbreak. So keep an eye on the media. Class 3 outbreaks are your worst nightmare. Zombie numbers will range somewhere in the thousands, and take over an area of several hundred miles. During a Class 3, your preparation and practice are your best weapon; those alive in the infested area are left to fend for themselves." - http://www.wikihowl.com/zombieattack.html

Omg, people get shot in places other than Iraq?

 
AaronOnline 2008-04-20 08:53:29 PM  
Black people. All I will really say without being outright ignorant.
Call my little comment discriminatory if you must but you don't see this stuff in Mayberry or predominantly white neighborhoods.
Of course, I am waiting for someone to blame poverty or "the man" for all of this.
Where is your Jesse Jackson now ? It is his city, shouldn't he be holding a march, rally, or lynching a white man by now ?

 
ununcle 2008-04-20 08:54:06 PM  
Bagh doesn't have as many Bla,,,

 
randomizetimer [TotalFark] 2008-04-20 08:54:11 PM  
This is sad, several kids get killed and people talk about taking out the trash.

I know this is fark, but please respect yourself enough to have a shred of decency.

/I know I am a jerk. I am not whining just mildly shocked.

 
ScubaDude1960 [TotalFark] 2008-04-20 08:54:17 PM  
That's what happens when you have lax gun laws and anybody can get a gun. Oh, wait...

Because First Deputy Supt. James Jackson is no fool.

 
billyboyxoxox 2008-04-20 08:55:09 PM  
Don't blame the guns. Blame the trap of poverty and the gangland mentality. I don't know what the answer is but I know it's not to restrict access to firearms by law abiding people. Remember, no law is a criminal bound to observe so no new laws are needed. Join the NRA and learn who the real constitutional patriots are.

Aaron... isn't that a Jewish name?

/flame on

 
AaronOnline 2008-04-20 08:55:37 PM  
To randomizetimer, I say some of it is a trajedy but, for the most part, it might be "taking out the trash". How many of the victims were gang members ?

 
Great Janitor 2008-04-20 08:55:38 PM  
Hey, this can't happen, Chicago has a ban on guns to prevent this. Or is it to prevent innocent people from protecting themselves in situations like this.

This happened a second time?

they are just pissed off from paying the 10.5% sales tax around here...

dude. Dont bother pleading for decency. this is fark. Most people here have such profoundly, miserably failed lives that they would find chortlesome glee in a YouTube video of children being slowly fried alive in fat rendered from their own parents caracasses.

31? Crap, and here I am without an alibi.

Amen man, amen ! If only there were a celebrity to champion gun rights. Sigh

 
CaptFun 2008-04-20 09:02:39 PM  
Amazing, in a town where guns are prohibited people are getting shot. That is incredible!!!

Meanwhile in Kennesaw, GA where every head of household is required by law to own a gun absolutely no one was shot this weekend. (or last or the week before that...)

DC, no guns, lots of shootings. Coincidence?? I think not.

Wasn't that a South Park episode?

Plug_Nickel 2008-04-20 09:04:07 PM  
But Chicago has a handgun ban in full effect. How can this be??

I just shot the neighbor kid, so I'm getting a kick....

Just wait till they find all the bodies in the vacants.

Maybe Barak Obama should have stayed and fixed his city and state before deciding to work on the rest of the country.
