I got $50 on Chicago

https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/li-bar-is-taking-bets-on-which-city-will-have-more-shootings-over-labor-day-weekend/2595507/

The battle against gun violence has plagued every city across the country, and on Labor Day in particular, New York City usually has to contend with a higher than average number of shootings.

Now a bar on Long Island is making a game out of the violence, and the struggle to quell it.

Patchogue bar The Cliffton posted their sick game on Facebook, pitting NYC against Chicago. The chart is set up like a typical Super Bowl pool, with patrons picking the number of shootings each city will see, and winning money if they choose the right numbers. Beneath the scoreboard, it says "let the shooting sprees begin!"
 
^^^Hey now! Snitches get stitches!^^^

Note I am not making threats, just trying to add some humor... :D
 
Mayor Paul Pontieri called the wagering "foolish at best and disgusting at its worst because it isn't what we are about." Pontieri is urging the police and state liquor authority to get involved, given that gambling at the establishment is illegal.
 
Situations like this, people just need to shrug their shoulders and move on.

People being people, this kind of thing goes on everywhere, all the time, and doesn’t rate comment from a political official. Chances are that mayor and his subordinates are thinking and doing the same things as the patrons of that establishment.
 
I heard two South-siders in Chicago went in heavy on Chicago.

If I were in Chicago, on the South side, I would move long before this weekend.
