The city of Chicago had a very bloody holiday weekend this past Easter that saw at least 45 people shot. Of the 45, 9 were actually killed and 6 were children.
Among those killed were two men who were slain in the South Lawndale neighborhood. They reportedly were sitting in a Lincoln Navigator when an orange Hummer blocked their path, two people wearing masks and armed with guns came out, and sprayed the Navigator with nearly a dozen bullets. And it all happened right near a police blue light camera. The Hummer of course then fled.
Also killed was a married couple, both law enforcement officers, who apparently died in a murder-suicide at their home on the Southwest Side.
There were also two teens who were found dead in an apartment building in the 8200 block of South Houston Avenue; Both had been shot in the head, and one boys mother said they were killed over a dispute that started out on Facebook.
What should Chicago do to prevent further use of illegal weapons and prevent gun violence? How should the city,police,and community handle the rising violence?
There's honestly not much else they can do. People are going to go against the law no matter what. The only thing they can do it to try and predict it faster so less people get killed/hurt.
Chicago is a dangerous city run by gangs with corrupt political leaders. Lets just be thankful that they're weren't hundreds of deaths. People wanna kill each other in the streets like animals, i say let 'em. I think the cops are doing everything they can.
