The big story in Chicago from this weekend is the apparently intentional murder of three people by running them down outside a Chicago bar. CWBChicago reports:
Three men are dead and a fourth is seriously injured after a driver struck them at a high speed in front of one of Chicago’s longest-running LGBTQ bars on Sunday morning. A horrifying video appears to show the driver turning to intentionally strike the victims in the 7000 block of South Jeffery Boulevard in the South Shore neighborhood.
The Cook County medical examiner has identified two of the victims as Devonta K. Vivetter, 27, and Donald Huey, 25. It has not yet identified the third fatality.
“A very unfortunate tragic event occurred early this morning after closing,†said a Sunday morning post on the Jeffery Pub’s Facebook page. “A small group of people were in the street and an unidentified vehicle drove past at a very high rate of speed injuring several people and some deceased. Our hearts heavy this morning that such tragic event has occurred. And to those that lost a loved one or friend we stand with you.â€
Videos from the scene show a group of people apparently fighting in the middle of Jeffery Boulevard. A car speeds down the wrong side of the road, then appears to steer slightly to avoid one group of people before plowing into the second group. The driver did not stop.
The video is embedded in the post. It’s quite graphic. Only for high tolerance viewers.
There are a lot of genuinely feral people out there.
