Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot told reporters on Monday that the surge in violent crime over the weekend "is just an unacceptable state of affairs."

"I certainly knew that before, but to see it graphically depicted is quite shocking and says that we've got a long way to go as a city," she said. "This is not a law enforcement-only challenge. It's a challenge for all of us in city government. It's a challenge for us in communities to dig down deeper and ask ourselves what we can do to step up to stem the violence."

Lightfoot stressed that gun violence is not how residents should resolve disputes. "For those who think it is, we can give them no quarter, they can have no sanctuary in our city," she said. "We've got to make sure we flood these areas with a lot more resources."

Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson also told reporters a new program to crack down on illegal guns had been implemented to curb gun violence.

The extended holiday weekend, combined with elevated temperatures, allowed more people to hit the streets, therefore some neighborhoods across Chicago transformed into warzones. Leading up to the weekend, Chicago police raided several trap houses and added addition shifts to patrols.

The "math" is beyond new-math, and what is a trap house?

Found this at Google.

A drug house, also known as a trap house, bando, jugg house, or crack house, is a building where drug dealers and drug users buy, sell, produce, and use illegal drugs, including crack cocaine.

Thanks; why change from the time-tested and well known "crack house"?

I'm too olde, and lack any interest, in learning all the new euphemisms.
