Chicago Carnage: 10 Dead , 55 Shot

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
The Chicago Sun-Times has counted 38 separate shooting incidents since 6 p.m. Wednesday. Ten men were killed and 55 other people, including two young boys, were wounded. To date this year, there have been 202 homicides, down from 275 for the same time last year, according to Sun-Times data. The carnage was tightly concentrated. Forty percent of the incidents occurred in and around two West Side neighborhoods — Austin and Garfield Park — roughly an 8.5-square-mile patch of a 228-square-mile city.
Just so you know, not many George Bush supporters can be blamed for living in this area. Only if these people were white would this get more attention from the national media.
