12 dead and 64 injured over the weekend. How do we stop the carnage?

Don’t look for a pattern. Gun violence in Chicago is random the way destructive wind gusts are random. You can brace yourself but still not anticipate the location or severity of a blast. Monday easily could have been the quiet after the storm. We know of no connection between a man killed at bus stop Monday and a 17-year-old girl killed at block party Sunday, except that both were homicide victims in a city awash in illegal guns, and tormented by gang activity and the drug trade.

But why Chicago?

Guns don't kill people, people do, and people are allowing their demons to take over. Without God all are lost. Godspeed

It's the gangs. They aren't just in the city but also recruiting into the suburbs including those in Wisconsin and Indiana as well. They're vying to gain more power by having more recruits and have little regard for the lives of others. A friend of mine worked with inner city gang members and said that their mentality is really off in how they perceive things because to them committing crimes isn't wrong if they have a need or a want. They teach their children it's okay to do wrong as well so they don't see how they continue to grow the problem within their own communities.

The best time Chicago had was when Mayor Jane Byrne moved into Cabrini Green housing project to show that she wouldn't stand for their crime. I think since then that the gangs have the politicians and police in their pockets so there is a blind eye to what happens.
