“Plenty of surveillance cameras were rolling. The cops are saying nothing, but you can bet they’re combing through footage, license plate readers and phone data like mad. When they’re quiet, it’s probably because they’ve got something brewing.”

“Doesn’t just happen on the south side”..? Our DEI politicians have made the entire city the south side. Check the addresses of those killed and injured.

It is rap associated. Geography is not a limitation. Could have happened in Glenview if they held the party there.

For those wish to observe the artistry of Ms. Buckzz:

I can’t imagine how an event celebrating the release of such mellow, soothing music (?) could fall victim to a drive-by. Shocked, simply shocked.

A mass shooting outside a club catering, by their websites account, to gay people of color. Very inclusive.

I’ve been down there during evening events when jammed with people while our party was at a notable Italian restaurant. Never again!

This can’t be so. BJ says crime is down. Looks like the CC Medical Examiner has a busy weekend on tap. The 4th starts off with a bang from the gang bangers!

If NASCAR visitors/VIPs were actually in River North last night, expect this to be the last NASCAR event in Chicago.

Given the erosion of the City’s culture and standards under the current crop of politicians, a proper Chicago-themed nascar event might include arming the drivers and encouraging some drive-by action. Also, hand out free tickets. Then it would fit right in.
