Another Great Weekend

Two of our favorite sites - CWB quoting HeyJackass.com:

• Seven people were murdered and at least 27 others were wounded in shootings across Chicago over the just-ended weekend, according to police. The total of 34 victims marks the lowest tally for the same weekend since 2015, according to HeyJackass, a site that independently tracks Chicago crime data using open source and official databases.

  Only 2024 recorded fewer victims, with 27 reported that year. For statistical purposes, HeyJackass defines the weekend as running from noon Friday through 6 a.m. Monday.

By the way, those thirty-four put Chicago over the One-Thousand Gunshot Victims for the year, so Congratulations are in order. 

While the year is looking pretty good, it's nice to know that traditions carry on.
