5 killed and at least 17 others wounded over weekend in Chicago

Despite the implications of a sarcastic Twitter video from a leftist, Zach Freeman, Chicago remains a dangerous place. Over the past weekend, five people were shot to death and at least 17 others were wounded. 

Freeman recorded his snarky clip in a mile-square area near Millenium Park in daytime, where violence is less frequent. But not unheard of. 

Among those weekend shootings, one occurred in another tourist area, River North, where a man who shot in the leg a few hours ago--at night--walking near the newly opened Bally Casino.

Early Saturday in the Loop--at night again--three tourists were robbed and beaten. They were near Millenium Park. Because the Chicago Police Department was in a "backlog" mode, the trio had to wait two hours for cops to arrive. 

Where was Zach Freeman?
