Chicago sees its deadliest day in 60 years with 18 murders in 24 hours: report

By Fox News, June 8, 2020

Bloody Chicago recorded 18 murders on May 31, making it the city’s deadliest day in 60 years.

The dubious milestone was reached on a day Chicago was roiled by another round of protests and looting following the Memorial Day death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis.

The 18 deaths tallied by the University of Chicago Crime Lab made May 31, 2020 the single-most violent day in six decades, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Monday. The Crime Lab numbers go back only to 1961.

On May 29 and May 30, there were seven murders. In a city with an international reputation for crime, the 25 murders on those three days made for the most violent weekend in Chicago’s modern history, according to the paper.

“We’ve never seen anything like it, at all,” the crime lab’s senior research director, Max Kapustin, told the newspaper. “I don’t even know how to put it into context. It’s beyond anything that we’ve ever seen before.”

Chicago’s next most violent day was Aug. 4, 1991, when 13 murders were recorded.

“The level of activity experienced over the last week has been unprecedented and the Department is actively investigating multiple incidents across the city and working to determine the motives in these cases,” Chicago Police spokesman Thomas Ahern told the Sun-Times.

He said the department was “actively working to seek justice for all the residents impacted, especially those who have been killed or injured by these senseless acts of violence.”

Those killed on May 31 include Keishanay Bolden, an 18-year-old student at Western Illinois University studying law enforcement and justice. She wanted to be a corrections officer.

She was fatally shot during an argument in the Englewood neighborhood where she grew up, the paper reported.

Among those paying tribute to Bolden on the WIU website was Rebekah Buchanan, an English professor, who said “Keishanay always had a smile on her face and a contagious laugh. Not only was she fun to have in class, she was dedicated to learning and her community. This is tragic.”

Another 18-year-old student was also killed that day.

That is classic tyrant culture, as described by Aristotle in 250 BC. Tyrants grab all the power and money, and subjugate the citizenry. And that is what the Democrats do, all day, every day [E.g., Detroit, Baltimore, etc. and now Chicago]. There is nothing new about Democrat politics, and social chaos and crime helps weaken the city for subjugation.

Chicago used to be a conservative, Republican, Union Army stronghold.

Chicago mayor: Will take ‘Herculean effort’ to get businesses to come back
Walmart, Target among businesses in city that can’t confirm reopening of stores
By Evie Fordham FOXBusiness

“I’ve been on calls and text messages with people all day who fought hard to bring economic development to areas of the city, only to see the Walgreens, the CVS, the grocery store, everything vanish in an eye blink,” Lightfoot said on a May 31 call with distraught aldermen. “It’s going to take a Herculean effort on the part of all of us to convince businesses not to disappear, to come back. We’re prepared to fight that fight.”

18 murders in 24 hours – in South Africa, its 58 murders in 24 hours, so you’ve still got a long way to go Chicago, to beat us, so there! The tranny mayor of Chicago is a man – so it would help if he started out by being honest to the public he’s supposed to serve.

Dude, if you live in South Africa and you’re not black, GTFO, even ending up homeless in an islamized white sheethole is safer than “living” there.

How’s that gun control working out for you?

The only people affected by strict gun laws are those who were law-abiding citizens in the first place.

Obviously, the criminal element doesn’t give a sh*t what the law says.

Be safe, be trained, be alert.

Criminals proving that the cops are right and blacks, Hispanics and other minorities are what you should worry about so if you don’t put your knee on their neck they should put shackles on them like you would on any wild ape.

It suddenly dawned on me we are dealing with a public health issue and not freewheeling looting, arson, assault, and murder. I consulted the experts at the Imperial Colleg London who assured me tha the correlation between the CCPVirus (aka novel coronavirus) and the last 9 days of unrestrained looting, arson, and murder in the US and abroad is 98.345%. Using this impeccable, irrefutable computer model perfected by the world’s most respected and renowned scientists I have come to the conclusion that a yet undiscovered symptom of the CCP Virus is to infect mobs of susceptible people into acts wanton-destruction we are witnessing. To stop the spread of this virus we must gather up and isolate those infected and give them the proper treatments while protecting the rest of the population.If not implemented immediately this virus will spread and the rioting and arson will not cease until not a single structure, monument, tree, and person is left standing. We must all join together and insist President Trump declares a national health emergency and send in whatever force necessary to detain all of the looters, protestors, and Commiecrats already infected or likely to be infected for their own good and protection as well as the rest of us who stand to be infected if these unfortunate people are not immediately isolated. Many thanks to the scientists at Imperial College London and their unerring computer models that have saved the world from climate change and pandemics and who knows what else.
