Murderbowl update.

Down two homicides from last year this date. Not a clear contender for the Murderbowl championship cup, nevertheless Milwaukee works hard to keeps its place among the top murder cities in the country.

“MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett shared frustration on Monday, May 29th over the amount of gun violence that has been taking place in the city throughout the Memorial Day holiday weekend. The numbers compiled by the Milwaukee Police Department indicate four people have been killed and 15 people have been wounded by gun violence in 15 separate incidents since early Saturday morning, May 27th. Milwaukee police say of the 15 shooting incidents, four were robbery related, eight resulted from an argument or fight, and three were unknown circumstances.”

“The violence has brought the city’s homicide total for 2017 to 40. Mayor Barrett said that means 10 percent of the murders in Milwaukee occurred within 48 hours this holiday weekend.”

“Far too much!” 4 dead, 15 wounded by gun violence since early Saturday morning

Murderbowl Update.

Chiraq hoodrats appear to be fading. Could the extra 1300 policemen sent out on street patrol have put a damper on holiday weekend festivities? Will the Chi-town gangbangers surge over the Fourth? Or will steady state operations be enough to push the ‘City With Big Shoulders’ over the finish line by year’s end yet again?

Bitches be Crazy and Murderbowl Update.

“Four people were killed and 15 others injured in shootings in Milwaukee since Saturday, May 27th, and 24-year-old Teresa Wade was one of those who lost her life during the Memorial Day holiday weekend—one that marks the unofficial start to summer. She was killed Sunday, May 28th in a gas station parking lot, and on Memorial Day, friends and family members gathered to remember her. Friends said Wade was killed when she got into a fight with another woman regarding the father of Wade's baby.”

"…Teresa was not a fighter. She loved people. She'd give you the clothes off her back," Ranita Wicker, Wade's close friend said. The altercation was captured by surveillance cameras at the gas station. She got killed in cold blood. Murdered. Because she was in love with her baby's father. Now her baby is five months and now he don't have a mother. I miss my friend. She was a funny, goofy person—very outgoing," Wicker said."

Interesting. No surprises in Maryland. On the Left Coast, Stockton, California is punching above its weight class. Oh well, Victor Davis Hanson has written at length about how the Stockton area has gone all Anarcho-Tyranny in the past decade. In the Mid-West, I knew Rockford, IL was a contender, but didn’t know it took the state title this year.
