7 wounded in mass shooting near Chicago playground
Seven people were wounded in a mass shooting Sunday as they gathered in Douglas Park on the West Side. A 21-year-old man was hit in the groin and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition, police said. A woman, 25, was struck in the arm, leg and taken to the same hospital where her condition was stabilized. Another woman, 22, was also hit and taken to Mount Sinai, police said. Her condition was stabilized.

A 20-year-old man and a woman, 19, were taken to Stroger Hospital, police said. The man was hit on the right side of the body and the woman was struck in the leg. Their conditions were stabilized.

Speaking of Chicago, Mount Sinai Hospital went into bypass (meaning they weren't accepting ambulances or new ER patients) yesterday as all twelve of their Level 1 trauma units were occupied with shooting victims.

This is obviously not a young, white male problem.

Unfortunately we'll live with weekends like this for the rest of our lives. Climate change will take us down before America ever fixes a gun/mental health/society issue.

Exactly what laws or bills do you want Congress to pass that would prevent this?
Selective mass shootings, like too many things in this country are politicized.

Everyone complains, no one has answers that are manageable....

So neither Trump nor Biden know where the two shootings took place? Trump says Toledo, Biden says Houston and Michigan... maybe we do need to get rid of all the old folks in office. :ohno:

I’m watching MSNBC and Andrea Mitchell was harping on Trump saying Toledo, and then she stopped

I think somebody may have whispered in her ear about Biden at the break

Watching Kamala Harris on MSNBC saying when she’s President she’ll install universal background checks (hm ok), make it so that the incompetent can’t buy guns (no mention of due process) and stop the importation of assault weapons into the US (huh?!)

Now talking heads talking about how children can surf in to 8Chan and become radicalized to the point that they’ll go shoot people

Only one day left and I go back to Thailand where it’s just BBC World and CNN International

I think I have figured out our illegal immigration problem - just broadcast our domestic cable news into Mexico and Central America and they’ll see how silly we are and stay home

We used to import a lot of AKs and Uzis back in the day, but now Kalashnikov and IWI build rifles in the US. Problem solved. :lol:

Yeah I know we used to - but I’ll bet every “mass” shooting involving an “assault” rifle in the last 10 years has been with a homegrown weapon

Including the AK in El Paso

BTW if dirt farmers in Afghanistan can manufacture them....

The El Paso AK was a WASR 10. I don't have all the details, since I don't work for the FBI, but I'd wager it was a Romanian parts kit imported by Century and then assembled here with a US receiver to meet US law.

And yeah, stamped AK receivers are easy peasy to manufacture.

Yes it is. For one a soldier from Ft. Bliss, who realized as a black man, he'd probably get shot if he drew a weapon. Instead, he helped evacuate the store.

Boy that’s some serious massaging of the definition of “mass shooting”

Now go back and apply the same definition since 2000

29 with 3 or more deaths since #DerangedDonald took office
There were 37 with the same criteria while Obama was in office

There have been 8 mass shootings with 10 or more deaths since Trump took office
7 with the same criteria while Obama was President.

Next!

Mother Jones comes nowhere near to capturing all mass shootings in that time frame.

Try to figure out which ones they don’t track.

There are a couple more comprehensive sources... would you like them?

What was to prevent him from being shot as a black man when exiting? I can understand not wanting to confront, but to say you are a Target in one scenario and not in another doesn't make sense. This smells of fake news.
