Over fifty bodies with extra holes in them, and the Slum Times is helping Conehead out by saying, "At least it wasn't a hundred!"

• Nine people were killed and 40 others were injured in citywide violence over the holiday weekend, making it the least violent Fourth of July weekend in at least six years.

  The weekend runs from 5 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Monday, meaning late Wednesday’s mass shooting — which left four dead and 14 others injured — was not counted in the total.

  [...] By the end of the weekend last year, 19 people had been killed and 86 others wounded. The 68 people injured and 12 killed over the first two days of the July 4th weekend in 2024 surpassed the numbers for the entire 2023 holiday weekend when 11 people were killed and 62 wounded. Both holiday weekends those years stretched over four days, potentially increasing the totals.

  Violence peaked in 2021 when more than 100 people were shot and 19 were killed in shootings across the city through the mid-summer holiday weekend.

Nothing like throwing Conehead a life preserver so he doesn't have to answer for the odd spike in shootings.

It's good that crime is down year-over-year, but there should still be accountability for the surge last week, with four or five "mass shootings" that they'd all be screaming about if they happened anywhere else except here.

Notice how the coverage completely died out? Kind of like the Idaho firefighter killer, or the Minnesota assassin. Once the shooter turns out to be democrat, leftist or approved class, the story is memory-holed overnight.
