May Wrap-up
Posted on June 2, 2015
Last month we said that May acts like a warm-up act to summer’s headliner, and did it get the crowd warmed up. May made significant additions to the shooting totals, so much so that our prediction was way off: This May we’ll predict a total of 45 (+/-4) homicides plus another 230 (+/-10) shot and wounded. At least we nailed to homicide number.
Final Stupidity Tally: 47 killed, 284 wounded
Last May’s Tally: 46 dead, 231 wounded
A breakdown of the month’s idiocy shows:
- 38 shot & killed
- 4 stabbed
- 5 killed via other means
- 6 ongoing “death investigations”
- 2 police-involved shootings
- 42 in serious or critical condition
- 40 males killed vs 7 females
- 58 teenagers shot, 7 killed
- 22 grazed
- 3 selfies
- 18 #ShotInTheAss
Looking ahead, stupidity is a guarantee for June. Last year June tallied 39 homicides and 247 shot and wounded. Given how things have been progressing this year, we’ll predict a total of 46 (+/-4) homicides plus another 290 (+/-10) shot and wounded.
Keep it short and to the point. Name calling and similar stupidity will be deleted. If you insist on writing several paragraphs, start your own blog.
