The City Of The Big Shoulders had a busy weekend.
Police patrols were stretched thin and a West Side hospital had to stop accepting patients after a violent Chicago weekend that has left at least 47 people shot, five fatally, across the city.
The latest fatal shooting took place in Back of the Yards on the South Side at about 5:45 p.m. Sunday. Two men, ages 56 and 47, were on a sidewalk in the 1900 block of West Garfield Boulevard when an offender approached them and opened fire, Chicago police said.
The 56-year-old man was shot in the neck and transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The 47-year-old man was shot in the elbow. He was taken to the hospital and remains in stable condition. No offenders are in custody yet.
Saturday night, resources were strained as officers responded to multiple shootings in Chicago's 10th Police District, which includes West Side neighborhoods such as Lawndale, Douglas Park and Homan Square. The shootings all occurred within a three hour period, resulting in 17 people injured and at least one dead.

Yes, but these weekly shootings are happening in a Democrat-controlled city, and most of the perpetrators, and victims, are black, so the leftist media don't care about them, or don't care to publiscize these events because it would make leftist cities look bad.
Katherine shoots, SHE SCORES.
The news aggregation site Lucianne.com says the same thing thing morning, under the headline "59 people shot across Chicago this weekend, 7 fatally": "Blacks killing blacks is not considered news by the left."
If they can't make political points with it, they don't care.
