This year Labor day has started off with an unusually loud bang, as 11 people were shot at the start of Labor day weekend in Chicago. The shootings began with the murder of a 36 year old man, who was found lying in the street with gunshot wounds. The shootings then progressed further, as around the city shots were fired. A 28 year old man was shot at while exiting his car Saturday morning. Later a 47 year old women was shot while still inside her car. This was then followed by a 32 year old man shot in the arm, a 34 year old man shot in the abdomen, and a 26 year old man who was shot in the back after his shooters displayed gang symbols. Adding on too this is a 32 year old man, a 22 year old and a 19 year old who were shot together, a 23 year old man, and a 28 year old man; all of them were shot in various places.
The amount of violence in Chicago this weekend alone is dumbfounding. 11 shot, and not even in a full two day period. Police seem to be doing nothing about this, while the people are starting to worry. While Chicago is a large city, this is still an obscenely large amount of violence in such a small amount of time. My prayers for a quick recovery of those who got shot, and to the families of those shot.
