    Suck it, California.

    After headlines and editorials that gun violence is down, fewer
    shootings and fewer homicides, we've had a three day period of
    incredible violence with five mass shootings.

    Here's the latest; no one died yet.

    Pretty much to be expected. It's the 4th of July. No better way to celebrate
    in Chicago for the invasive species to explode in an orgy of violence.

    I was pleasantly surprised. Normally on the 4th I hear sporadic
    gunfire in the distance as someone fires off their pistol in quick
    succession mixed in with the fireworks. This year I only heard
    fireworks.

    I'm not defending Pritzker but he's not the same as Newsom.

    I wonder how many murders are timed for the night of the 4th so that the gunshots are mistaken for fireworks?

    Are we counting the people that shoot straight up and manage to kill their children on the way down?
