While most Americans were hanging out with family and friends celebrating Memorial Day this weekend, people in Chicago were doing their best reenactment of a war zone:

That headline was from an early edition … the number wounded now stands at 69:

CHICAGO: 69 shootings in 76 hours https://t.co/yWcRIb6vcF — Justin Miller (@justinjm1) May 31, 2016

With 6 killed:

It’s been a bloody year in Chicago, that’s for sure:

There have been more than 1,400 shootings and nearly 300 homicides in Chicago in 2016 already: https://t.co/kziNczx6Nu — The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) May 30, 2016

And Milo Yiannopoulos — who just last week had his speech at DePaul University disrupted by Black Lives Matter protesters — questioned why he’s the target and not the thugs:

36 wounded and 4 dead in Chicago Memorial Day shootings but Black Lives Matter thinks protesting Milo is a priority https://t.co/4xsUvlddjr — Milo Yiannopoulos ✘ (@Nero) May 29, 2016

Planning more events in Chicago — Milo Yiannopoulos ✘ (@Nero) May 30, 2016

Get the popcorn.
