So Much Generosity
The "crime is down" narrative takes a bit of a hit:
Eighteen people were shot and four were killed in a drive-by shooting late Wednesday night outside a nightclub in River North, Chicago police say in their latest update.
The shooting happened around 11 p.m. near the 300 block of West Chicago Avenue, outside Artis Restaurant and Lounge, as well as a Dunkin’ Donuts. A number of clubs and businesses are located in that area, and witnesses say they heard rapid fire and a car racing out of the area.
“Traumatizing. I’m just shook,” one female witness said.
A worker at the nightclub told WGN News it was holding an album release party for a Chicago rapper named Mello Buckzz on Wednesday night. The club was closing when the shooting happened, so a large group of people were heading outside.
That's an entire weekend worth of numbers.
If that address seems familiar, there was another incident just a few years back that barely accounted for four people (or folks) shot. Back then, the bar was shut down as a "public health hazard." This time, the City probably ought to level the building.

Kind of like Mayorkas, as you watch thousands streaming through borders. "Don't believe your eyes." Load of crap. Who are these people kidding?
And remember to save those wrappers!
Will the city pull the business licence of the "black, brown, women only owners?"
Remember when a bars license was in jeopardy when crime occurred in or near by the bar????
Wait, did anyone ask the shooter if he was poor? He may not have to follow the law?
Quite the nice welcome message for all of the Nascar out-of-towners!
Betting Nascar can't wai for the weekend to be over so they can get out of dodge!
Keep the line moving.
seems like rapper release parties = shootings and death. Ban assault Rap.
Why? This is a good location for folks to feel at home and engage in their unique customs. Close the place down and they may migrate to a bar in my neighborhood. Leave them alone.
Looks like all involved were ghetto.
Gee let’s see. A rappers album release party, at a nightclub. Anyone shocked by this……..anyone
Worldwide this is a horrendous event. In Chicago, it’s just a Thursday
who cares
Perhaps music critics?
Rapper party = danger of a high magnitude. Not worth going or being withing 5 blocks of the location.
Crime is down … except when you attend a hip hop album release party.
Poor heyjackass
Rap...the music of peace and tranquility with equality and love for all....nah!
Mello Buckzz? What the fu— are we doing?!
The most generous people on the planet love to share their bullets.
Artis Restaurant should be held accountable for this. Anyone that hosts an event for a rapper has full knowledge what is more than probably going to happen. I hope each "victim" sues Artis for hosting that event.
BTW, does anyone know if Chief Keef or Lil Durk were participating in that event? -Asking for 'a friend.'
I hope the Dunkin' Donuts was okay.

I would consider giving away that many bullets generous. They are expensive.
I'm not sure why this sentence got cut off in the blog. Here it is in full:
“Traumatizing. I’m just shook,” one female witness said while twerking.
Thats a lot of lead poisoning...shooter must have reloaded or there was more than one shooter. I wonder how many misses were fired. Victims exiting as the event was over? Sounds like a rap war hit...label vs. label. It's a damn shame...
Good time to invest in companies that make chalk and yellow tape.
Theres a multiple killer on the loose in Chicago. Be careful on traffic stops
About time! Every day we have a drive by shooting and the results are no hits, one hit to the foot, another shot in the arm or a 3 yo kid shot. These MFs are for real! A few more like this in July and there will be peace in Aug.
There are 80 ambulances in the city, this tied up 10 of them for hours.
6 toe tags including a home invasion. Welcome to Chicago Nascar.
I saw in the statement released by the club owner that they welcome all
types. There's your sign
the start of the 4th of July holiday oozing Chicago 'values'.
"Some cops opted to transport victims to hospitals in their patrol vehicles rather than wait for additional ambulances to arrive."
Really??? WTF is wrong with you moron cops out there. This is far from the first time I have heard this.
How's that Commander spot you kissed ass for your entire career working out for you Chris? Hahahaha enjoy
Who gives a flying fuck? Not me.
She's changing her name to Mello Buzkill.
Has there ever been an elected official with a negative rating like -14.I think that will be Mayor Brandon TAXMAN Johnson. Once National Fox News reports this to the nation, Prtitzker presidential ambitions will be done. Have a safe and wonderful holiday everyone.
Brandon Johnson was right after all. He said “we are the most generous people in history”. So everyone got a bullet outside the club and got hit. Kudos.
Don't you mean, "Cheef Kweef??". How that moron has avoided a get together with Chalkie is being me!!
Yep...
New ad campaign slogan...
"Chicago runs FROM Dunkin!!"
How would you like to be the paper car on that job.
Another ghetto shooting 4 shot in the Altgeld gardens last night, usual suspects.
Well if the nickel a round county tax is still going I say hurrah for filling the coffers
Hold the phone, this was a rap release party that had ended by 11PM? Then it went of the rails? Looking at the guidelines book it would seem the establishment did things right and yet it still went wrong? Maybe it is simply a rap culture thing that civilized people (or folks) simply cannot comprehend?
Maybe descendants of Steve Dahl and / or Gary Meyer?
Poor paper car. How many times did the dispatcher, SDSC room, news affairs and CPIC demand that the paper car instantly make notifications? LMAO. "We need the victims' information ASAP" Why?! You're not the detectives assigned...you're just the ones sending out useless and repetitive emails so you can go home early. Leave the actual assigned units and detectives on scene alone so they can do their job. It's their names on the reports not yours.
How can Mayor Johnson constantly defend the gang members.Wake Up Chicago this Mayor and the socialist alderman/women need to be voted out of office.
Liquor and Rap ain’t nothin but trouble!!!
Damn SCC!
I thought we could finally beat the St. Valentine’s Day massacre with this one, but it seems like that old record of 7 just ain’t ever getting broken.
But an evening downtown sounds nice, said no one.
Play Cousins funnin'.
Bueller? Bueller?
As long as they keep it amongst themselves who gives a flying fuck
Only victims to transfer to the hospital are injured police
Is this considered an Active Shooter so the liberal media could spin it and ask for stricter laws?
Thin the herd.
Sharing is caring plenty of bullets to go around. Have you ever seen such generosity? Get em while they're hot kids
Is conehead gonna order the pride flags to half mask and put up memorial bunting outside city hall.
When's the "this is not who we are" press conference start
They was just funnin ya’ll! And once again those darn violence interrupters were nowhere to be found. Why is it that the msm never asks that group for a comment on where they were when violence like this occurs? You know the same violence they’re supposed to interrupt….
Another unknown gang banger want to be rapper bringing their south side O Town bullshit downtown.
Never do that. You will be criticized. No mention of offenders race? Only important if offender isn’t an African American. White supremacy is the biggest threat to African Americans?? Not in any democratic run city . Rapper that uses the N word is a hero .
the driver of the get-away car just has to say he is poor and won't get a ticket
What’s the big deal? The two driven to the hospital were shot in the legs. No joke, it was roughly a 20 minute period of the initial people being shot, with more and more being found, or reporting their injuries, sprinkled about the vicinity. Now, if all the victims were located at the initial shooting scene, then I’d agree with you. Trust me, if you heard the radio, you’d agree the two squad cars did the right thing and also didn’t waste ambulances when it wasn’t necessary.

Where is Common when we need him? Anyone see the Street Pastor on the news this morning. Guy was clueless.
Besides that little hiccup, how was the party?
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Sounds like the work of a Glock with a Switch. And they just randomly sprayed the crowd for kicks. Maybe a gang initiation.
The funny thing about this is that if a copper chased the offending vehicle, they would get in more trouble than the offenders.
I remember years ago Tony Bennett released a record and there was a drive by.
These are the things that were not impacted by this, employment, nascar and the rest of Chicago.
Let me guess… Irish? No…. Asians. Has to be. Final answer!
Do not demonize these yutes
I don't dislike these people for the color of their skin, but for the content of their character!
I’d say Tally-oh should have cancelled all rdos for the wkd and just cancelled the pride period!
Carnival Cruise lines can relate.
We have now entered the re-loading portion of our show. How long does it take to re load a 50 clip or 100 round drum anyways. Do we have time to hit the Garrett pop corn concession before the next act begins or nah?
Summertime in Chiraq!
Funny...
Brandon Johnson has stated that it is "not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities.
The conehead says we need more safe places for our youth. Then in this afternoons presser the conehead said Artis was a safe place for the pride community when asked if the business should be shut down
So far, Snelling, or whatever you folks have nicknamed him said two different caliber casings were found, so I'd assume that means at least 2 shooters.
And possibly a rifle used, so that one has me stumped? That could be a number of calibers, from .22 on up. Don't underestimate a .22-.25, I had a buddy go through 4-5 hours of surgery from a latino drive by back in the late 70's, near west side, Polk-Leavitt, hit in the chest from about 100' away, the bullet bounced, first went down, then up, and stopped in his left upper chest.
They cut him open in surgery like the letter T. Jesus.
He ran a 1/2 block towards home before he even realized he was hit. He's still alive. They never were able to remove the Bullet.
It's a very horrible, and saddening thing that's happened. A damn shame that humans have to look over both shoulders and have eyes in the back of your head when you're out and about in Chiraq.
Artis bills itself as “a safe space where bold flavors meet unapologetic self-expression” and “Proudly Black-,Brown-, Queer-, and Women-owned.”
Not so safe when little Johnny Apple seed is spreading brass shell casings around the block
Upon further review we conclude that aim was mostly.too low
No surprise the Folks or People were fighting with the First responders that were trying to save Folks or Peoples lives
Gotta luv how cpd brass talks about "their partners" now like ATF and the feds to calm the citizens.
What kind of law enforcement partners pick and choose what laws to enforce
Wouldn't surprise me if ATF, FBI and Dhs told cpd to go eff themselves since they get no support with aliens
saw news showing the people/folks at that "mostly peaceful" party and not 1 looked like they live in a so-called "food desert", most of them overweight, obese and ugly
sad to say one of the donuts now has a hole in it
With the number of ppl shot in the foot, leg, thigh and ass I can see how the name hip hop came to be
Shocking that this was a Rap Music album release party !
Shocking !
I haven t been thus shocked since I found out that Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury was “ Gay” or Reggae singer Bob Marley smoked MJ !
Shocking !
JR
I m shocked ! I haven t been so shocked since I learned FBI head J Edgar Hoover was wrong or worse “ lying” when he said there was no Mafia organized crime in the USA.
With the 18 shot in the 18th district and the 4 shot in the 5th district I bet the city is happy they don’t have to count these numbers to the “4th of July weekend” totals hahaha
this crap hs to stop first tupac then biggy smalls followed by jam master j and isreal martinez (the latin pit pull) also does the carlo gambino crime family still have a hit contract out for suge knight?
"Artis was created as a safe space. A space where Black, Queer, and allied communities could gather, be celebrated, and feel at home in River North."
Yes, they can feel right at home.
Isn’t this the feickin truth!! Why do we need to get the names to the Lt asap, just so they can send out an email or shooting report in the all important ONE hour. It’s ridiculous. Let us do our job and you’ll get the info when we can. So tired of that shit. That’s an immediate change that heiny and smelling can make to improve the work conditions for all, but for some reason they won’t.
