Final Weekend Tally
Believe it or not, these are actually lower numbers than the average:
A toddler and man died, and at least 38 others were wounded, in Memorial Day weekend shootings in Chicago in the least deadly holiday weekend in 16 years.
Despite the fatalities — authorities said the one involving a toddler was an accidental suicide — more people were wounded over the holiday weekend than in 2025, when 25 people were shot in the city’s least violent Memorial Day weekend since 2010.
Still, gun violence remains lower than the pandemic-era peak. In 2021, during the same holiday period, the city saw 65 shooting victims, including 15 deaths.
And for the first time in memory, the Slum Times numbers actually agree with the HeyJackass.com numbers. Usually the media plays down the numbers and goes with the manipulated totals in an attempt to make the people in charge look better.
So is the media actually doing reporting again?
UPDATE: Yeah, we noticed the "accidental suicide" phrase the Slum Times invented, too. The media might be accidentally accurate in terms of statistics every so often, but they're old pros at creating stupid terms to advance the "progressive" agenda.

“Final Weekend Tally” …damn!!!! For a second I thought they finally booked that ol hack of a first deputy for her fraudulent PPP loans.
The media actually reporting again? Scary concept. Maybe readership is so low, they have no choice? What kind of world are we living in? The media always lies.
And who do we ask about this? Who’s in charge? Well nobody! Mayor BLM Brandon left on Tuesday for Rome, Italy. He is doing the same thing LA Mayor Karen Bass did last year when she was advised that the wildfires were starting and it may not be a good idea to leave during a crisis. Instead she went to Ghana, Africa. 16,000 homes were destroyed. Upon return she would not comment and nothing has happened to her. So if BLM Brandon stays away people will forget the what happened on the weekend. These Democrats are slick!
The medical professionals are saving more people and medical field has gotten better. If you had all this going on 30 years ago more people would die.
No they are just too lazy and cheap to actually investigate.
Why would they bother if the number fits their goal
Oh wow, Brandon for mayor 🤣
a 2 year old does not commit suicide! WTF
"So is the media actually doing reporting again?"
No.
It means that losses were acceptable, no political damage done. No need to hide the truth.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around a TWO year old that commits suicide. Did he leave a note?
Tuesday morning channel 32 was reporting that No One
was killed!!! But on their website they have a report about the older man being killed!!!???
"authorities said the one involving a toddler was an accidental suicide"
WTF is an accidental suicide involving a dead toddler?
So is the media actually doing reporting again?
Doubt. This mayor is so bad they might lose the last of whatever credibility they have. I think they’re done hiding truth for him. He’s no Obama
I’m glad midnight basketball had that holiday tournament weekend. It really took a bite out of crime. Good job to all those that worked it
Um, excuse me...
...the one involving a toddler was an accidental suicide
I didn't know learning to walk and talk were stressful enough to contemplate a Remington haircut. Or to dance at the end of a window shade.
OT: Chicago gets the nations largest "Air Quality" sensor network across the City. 277 air quality sensors have been installed to detect fine particulate matters...how much did this cost us? I guess having these sensors will save more lives than ShotSpotter??? WTF will south and west side residents or any of us, for that matter, do when it detects unhealthy numbers?? Doesn't the city know that the National Weather Service everyday issue air quality reports?? So again, more money wasted on something that is totally useless for residents.
From the Sun-Times article “authorities said the one involving a toddler was an accidental suicide —.”
It sounds like someone at (CPD, CFD, ME?) called it an “accidental suicide” and the reporter just used that term.
Accidental suicide.
More like ol girl and dude didn’t want any baggage around to interfere wit dey love fest.
all those that survived still get to collect their lifelong welfare and continue to do nothing but get high and drunk
Absolutely. Chicago’s trauma surgeons are so good that even the US Navy sends their Corpsmen [medics] to train in shifts at the Stroger ER. Dozens of opportunities each weekend to treat gunshot wounds.
just when I thought I heard it all, WTF is an accidental suicide?
And Brandon is gonna be talking with the pope about his anti-Trump hatred. It’s just Brandon does not like being called out for all the failures destroying the city of Chicago the lawlessness all the businesses leaving what is downtown now 48% on occupied it’s nobody there anymore. Look at the major companies too many to list. It left the Citi due to Brandon’s total inept management style just a moron.
What the hell is an accidental suicide?
Two days from now will anyone remember these numbers or even care?
Yes. Trying to figure that one out too...
Dork
Accidental suicide? What would be an intentional suicide?
350,000 showed up in Speedway Indiana on Sunday. Not 1 shooting. Must be the water.
What on earth is an “accidental suicide.” Suicide is, by definition, intentional. Did the idiot reporter mean that the toddler was killed ACCIDENTALLY during a suicide attempt by an adult? Do these “journalists” actually have high school diplomas?
🖕🏻
Definitely. If it can keep up this much success than maybe they won’t have to cancel RDO’s
If that goof Graham Platner can get an “accidental Nazi” tattoo why can’t a toddler have an accidental suicide?
They need to start going to the range and practice I'm disappointed.
Really. WTF , are they saying the 2 year old was so depressed felt life was not worth living? Moronic media!!!
He tried to , but the crayon broke.
Lets promote more merit bossholes that know absolutely nothing about enforcing Law and Order...And still nobody questioning why the CPD superintendant was not there? Maybe we can save some money and take away his take home car (with emergency equiptment) and driver. Seems he doesnt need it.
So WTF is accidental suicide??? The baby put the gun to their head but didn't mean to pull the trigger???? Or mom shot herself in the chest while nursing?? That would be collateral damage? I'm curious how did the baby commit accidental suicide????
Who said it was a suicide?
Accidental?
It’s the media…
Now everyone thinks they know how to write.
The toddler is gone because the mutt left the pistol unattended hold dude accountable for once
did owner of weapon have an FOID card,CCW? was he a convicted felon? Inquiring minds want to know ?
We had sleepy Joe, are we going with Dozing Donnie. Our boy is falling asleep on everyone at every event. It’s hilarious
can't wait for all the liberal media coverage of all the black lives matter protests and the fake rev-runs complaining
sleepy auto pen Joe , dr.jill thought Joe was having a stroke during the debate. call 911, why? She never saw Joe slip up before the debate, she may need a medical evaluation?? unless she's a liar??
Accidental self-inflicted gunshot is what they meant. But the AI or intern writing it decided to be stupid
Step back into DNC Headquarters with the rest of your Dumocrats and don’t come out weasel!
Hmmm..suicides are not accidental. Morons
