CHICAGO -- At least six people were killed and another 43 wounded in shootings across Chicago this past weekend, police said. City leaders and community activists have planned to address the deadly and violent past couple of days. One of the most recent shootings occurred in the city's Austin neighborhood. Investigators placed down several evidence markers Sunday night on Bloomingdale Avenue near Central Avenue. That's where police said two men walked up to another man sitting in a parked car and started shooting. The 21-year-old man was shot twice and rushed to the hospital where he later died. Another woman was

How many blacks were involved? What is the percentage? Why isn't black on black crime being discussed? Guess it would be racist to state that the biggest threat to an black American is being murdered by another black. So we look the other way. I guess murdered black Americans is an inconvenient truth that will not be spoken about or discussed.

Imagine the screaming headlines if all these shooters were white. And the obligatory...''Trumps fault!''

Had these six fatalities and forty-nine injured occurred in a mall in, say, suburban Elmhurst, everyone would be just as upset and horrified as they are of the El Paso and Dayton shootings. But since they occurred in the hoods....no big deal. Pols never tackle and try to solve problems that don't lend themselves to being able to place blame on someone other that the actual person who pulls the trigger.

A slow motion riot every day and a Dim party that can't wait for the tipping point to give the whole country the same.

I thought we were supposed to stop looking at Chicago for weekend blood scores and bodies; Baltimore has more shootings, more rats and more Democrats. Right? My oh my. Who to believe?

REALLY! I wouldn't have known that happened if not for this article. Isn't it interesting the MEDIA didn't find it worthy to report. Could it be because this is Routine in the Chicago (Rat infested) Ghetto? This happens every weekend in the summer and quite often even in the brutal winter months. Nothing to see here, Folks!

Now, if we the Democrats could just get more gun control and take guns away from the law abiding citizens elsewhere, it would be safe for the murderers in Chicago to ply their trade elsewhere too.

Thank goodness PT is shining a bright light on the inner cities. The crime, corruption and blight can no longer be ignored.

This MUST be the personal fault of the mayor, right?
Oh, wait, she is a leftist lesbian, so no fault is possible.
More people shot on any "ordinary" weekend in Chicago than in any "mass shootings" (and some in Chicago are 7 on one location) and yet it gets NO media play nationally.
Black lives don't matter in Chicago, apparently. Where is BLM? Where are the 24 midget clowns?

FTA: Mt. Sinai Hospital in Douglas Park was forced to go on bypass for several hours. Sunday night, an additional 50 officers were brought into the 10th District alone.
I realize this is the norm for Chicago and chances are additional cops on the streets before the shootings began might not have helped. However, I would like to know how many police officers were assigned to babysit the Lollapalooza crowd this past weekend.

I have an idea that I’ll bet nobody has ever thought of. Simply pass a law that nobody can buy or carry a firearm in or around Chicago unless they pass a background check. This should solve the problem immediately.

All this in a Democrat-controlled inner city. LBJ call your office. You nailed it.
Outstanding earlier posts. MAGA

The Chicago situation does not fit the narrative so it's barely mentioned in the news. Democrat hellhole, strict gun-free zone. 100% black participation, unionized police force, female lesbian mayor. There isn't even one thread to unravel without tearing apart the whole embarrassing Leftist fabric. Nothing to see here folks, nothing to tie to Donald Trump, just move along.
