Pretty much to be expected. It's the 4th of July. No better way to celebrate
in Chicago for the invasive species to explode in an orgy of violence.
 

 
I was pleasantly surprised. Normally on the 4th I hear sporadic
gunfire in the distance as someone fires off their pistol in quick
succession mixed in with the fireworks. This year I only heard
fireworks.

I wonder how many murders are timed for the night of the 4th so that the
gunshots are mistaken for fireworks?
