Why Stop Now?

After shooting and killing to the most violent weekend of the year (so far), the lead kept flying on Monday with another eight (8) shot and wounded since Monday afternoon.

Additionally, two more have died due to the wounds sustained over the weekend driving the total dead from this past weekend to 11. That bests 2012′s 7 and 2011′s 2 for the same weekend.

The only non-shooting related death from this past weekend is straight out of a crappy horror movie:

“Police have launched a homicide investigation into the death of a man who had been impaled by a fence post Sunday night during a fight near his Burnside neighborhood home on the South Side, authorities said.

One of the people approached and struck him in the head, causing him to fall onto a fence post which pierced his eye socket, Zala said; he then fell to the ground, suffering blunt trauma to the head.”

Well, at least crime is down.
