4 dead among at least 36 shot in Chicago in 36 hours (Let's see: warmer weather; natural disasters; trial verdict disappointments; White cops publicly arresting black thugs; assassinations of any major black figures preaching nonviolence; major ballgame victories or defeats; White drivers dutifully getting out to help some black kid that darted out in front of their car, etc, etc.)

4 dead among at least 36 shot in Chicago in 36 hours

At least 36 people were shot in Chicago, four of them fatally, in as many hours over the weekend, with more than half of the shootings occurring over a half-day period stretching into early Sunday.

Officers responded to at least 27 incidents, starting at 3:30 p.m. Friday in the West Woodlawn neighborhood on the South Side involving an attack that left a 17-year-old girl dead and two other people wounded, police said. There were also fatal shootings in the South Shore neighborhood Friday night and the Washington Park neighborhood early Sunday, both on the South Side.

Late Sunday, police announced charges in one of the killings.

Chicago Police Department spokesman Adam Collins declined to comment on whether the weekend's temperatures — Saturday reached 80 degrees, the city's warmest day so far this year — contributed to the number of shootings, though criminologists have said that weather does play a role in violent crime. . . .

     Seriously, to make this even more absurd, the temperatures only "reached 80 degrees." The "warmest day of the year"--in the first half of April! What will the place look like in the August heat, 'The Dawn of the Living Dead' meets 'War of the Worlds'?
