Seven members of organized crime were killed in the 1929 The Saint Valentine's Day Massacre ...

[Snake Plissken]

it is still the most deadly mass murder in Chicago history, today's mass murder happen only ten miles down the road from Mar-a-lago and more than twice as many people were killed, innocent people.

Next time Trump brings up crime in Chicago he needs to be told to STFU and take care of business in his own backyard.

2. Excellent point

Not saying the men killed in Chicago deserved it but they weren't innocent children attending class at their high-school.

9. Rival gangs in the 1920s. Some dressed as police and they escaped easily .

Wiki
The Saint Valentine's Day Massacre is the name given to the 1929 murder in Chicago of seven men of the North Side gang during the Prohibition Era.[2] It happened on February 14, and resulted from the struggle between the Irish American gang and the South Side Italian gang led by Al Capone to take control of organized crime in the city.

Basically
Capone s gang wanted Bugs Moran the Irish boss dead

6. The shooter was heading out and was caught 3/4

mile away. If the fake POTUS was in his Florida "White House" I bet this would have been taken more seriously by him and his gun loving pals who continuously pocket the Putin, NRA and Religious Right $$$.

12. It was still a huge story when I was growing up

7 fellow criminals gunned down and it shocked a nation for generations. There have been more then 7 mass shootings of innocent people in the last year. This will just end up being another small footnote in history. Forgotten by the average American within a week.
