Chicago shootings leave at least 7 dead, dozens more injured as city insists it doesn't need Trump's help

10%. So that makes you another lib celebrating only 500 murders in Chicago in the past year.

Not the point. Lowering crime rates means whatever they're doing is being effective. So what is the point of (illegal) federal intervention

At least seven people have been killed and 37 others injured in shootings in Chicago this Labor Day weekend, even as the city's mayor vows to block President Donald Trump's efforts to combat crime.

Chicago has experienced a remarkable drop in gun violence so far in 2025 though the aggregate number — more than 1,200 shooting victims as of this writing — highlights the scale of continued trauma for far too many Americans. Yet it's also important to recognize the degree of the decline, including the likelihood that Chicago has seen fewer shootings victims so far this year than any year since the mid-1960s.​

One shooting is too many (I support reasonable gun regulations, do you?) but pretending that there's a "national emergency" in Chicago is beyond silly.

It's an excuse for grabbing power.
