Fifty-nine people got shot across the city of Chicago this past weekend — seven fatally, according to police officials.That’s more than the Dayton and El Paso shootings, respectively.“It’s got to stop,” said Keith Flowers, father of Chicago victim Demetrius Flowers, who was murdered following a dispute over a basketball game.“This senseless killing has got to stop,” he told WLS.Of the multiple shootings reported in the Windy City over the weekend, two were said to have been mass casualty incidents in the same police district.

Chicago is run by power hungry and greedy corrupt demonrats. Their platform is to confiscate a law abiding citizen's gun so only their base of thugs will be the only ones to have guns. How else can they become dictators and amass billions for themselves?

If the politicians and leadership in Chicago really wanted to stop this they could. I'm sure there are some retired military/special ops who could get to the root of the problem if allowed to do the job. Somewhat unrelated, but I never understood the societal acceptance of the crimes committed in prisons. It's a CONTROLLED environment with cameras everywhere and armed security. It is allowed to happen.

The left is so quick with their racist accusations when their lack of attention paid to inner city weekend massacres is the personification of racism. Perhaps black lives are less important to them.

The enemedia and the politicians don't give a fig about this which occurs in every major demonrat run city every single weekend. It's just blacks killing other blacks so what's the big deal, right demonrats? And it doesn't fit the narrative of all whites are racist and the root of all evil.
While PDT is calling out the rat and drug infested filth in Cummings' Baltimore, he should make a point of reading the dead and wounded totals in every demonrat run city each Monday morning and then ask the mayors and representatives of those cities why they let this continue. And he should pointedly ask if the reason they don't try to fix it is because all the perps and all the victims are blacks who now have been shoved to the back of the bus in favor of illegal aliens.

The Plantation has become a tiresome burden to the left.
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound and they're busted. (Ray Charles)
Black abortion and black/black homicide are both promoted by the Left.
Why is that ???
Cuz "Brown" is the new Black.
.....and the Metsikans don't mind werkin'.

This goes on and on but protest from the woke? Not there at all. The victims weren't killed by cops so the SJWs can't use them

Every weekend and this JUST Chicago. Add in Baltimore Philly and DC and the total will be shocking. What? No week long yelling by the media for gun control? There's your actual racism folks. Black children shooting black children is just ho-hum. Gun control? Chicago has plenty of that. Black lives matter? Apparently only when the police are involved. If one of these city councils decided to actually ACTIVELY go to work on a solution they probably wouldn't eliminate this scourge but they could sure as hell mitigate it.

There's a mass shooting every weekend in Chicago but the hypocrites on the left don't seem to care. I wonder what the reason could be?

I wonder how many assault weapons were used in all those shootings? My guess none.

Many Chicago cops who see a suspect car make a right they simply turn left. Why engage without support of the community?

This has to be a record. I don't remember the number ever being that high. Should somebody be celebrating? What is wrong with the Chicago Police? (rhetorical question) You ignore smaller crimes like that of Jussie Smollett so you might as well ignore murder. Fine, if that's your choice. Our choice is to never go to Chicago for any reason.

It's in a black's DNA to destroy. Nothing in their life is meaningful. All that brotherly love business is a hoax. A killing over a basketball dispute next will be to steal a happy meal or the sneakers they are wearing. A black with a gun is going to use it even if they have to try it on another family member, it's what they do.
If Barack Obama himself knocked a door in a black neighborhood and asked them to stop the killings he would more than likely be shot for just standing there.
Black thugs in Chicago are making Al Capone and his group look like pikers when it comes to murder and mayhem.

So, 59 shot in Chicago isn't national news, but fewer shot elsewhere is cause for 24/7 hysteria?
To the Chicago mayor and power structure, and to the Enemedia - Black Lives Don't Matter.

Blacks killing blacks is not considered news by the left. Especially when it occurs in areas long controlled by Demonrat politicians. Can't make them look bad, you understand.

Chicago year to date: 1,629 shot, with 274 killed and 1,355 wounded. Of the 274 killed, 255 were black, or 82%. Excluding police and lawful self-defense shootings, where the shooter’s race was known, 17 shooters were black, 4 were Hispanic, and 1 was white. Nationwide, 52% of murders in America are committed by African Americans, who make up only12% of the population.
But we are told that white nationalists are today’s new domestic terrorist bogeymen. Where are all the stories on national media demanding action against Black and Hispanic shooters? We will do anything to avoid facing the real problem.
There is an element within African American culture that praises and rewards ignorance, promiscuity, illegitimacy, violence, and failure. At the root are a failure to teach and reward self control, and fatherless families. No amount of cash reparations will fix this cultural pathology.
The real threats to civil order in America come from African American culture, and organized Black and Hispanic drug gangs and car jacking crews shooting it out in the streets. Random white nut jobs are little more than a blip.

I am surprised that the Progressives/Democrats missed this opportunity to scream, "Trump is responsible for these shootings." Perhaps because it was black on black crime they could not figure out how say it "racist terrorism" committed by "white nationalist." Since all of the guns used were illegal, it only proves that anti-gun laws do nothing to prevent shootings.
And, since Progressives/Democrats and the MSM have been silent about these shooting, it shows that they care nothing about the victims, when it does nothing to promote their agendas.

Putting Blacks in jail, even for incidents like the Chicago shooting sprees is RACIST. We are not even supposed to be talking about it. Like abortion, it's just Eugenics in action.

Black lives DON’T matter to CNN or Ms-lsd or the network liars of fake news.
Only their distorted broadcasts of hate toward We the people and our President.
Two registered Democrat trump haters who shoot people are purposely misrepresented by corporate fake news so as to push their misinformation and disinformation and hateful agenda against our America.
We know the truth. This is war.
We must push back against this communist manifesto disguised as “news”..
THEY are the enemy of America!
These domestic enemies must be made to pay for their purposeful propaganda.
A quote I read here yesterday from a fellow poster rang so true, so succinct...
“It isn’t mental illness...It’s MORAL illness”...!!!
Veterans for Trump 2020
Expose the propagandists!

Chicago - the hallmark of gun laws or "gun safety" as they now call it. No guns allowed but 59 people shot on one summer weekend. As noted by other posters, dead black people don't matter to Democrats because they can still "harvest"their votes.

More of those cursed white racist supremacist shooting innocent, I tell you - innocent, black youths in those drug and rat infested neighborhoods run by demoncraps. Something must be done. NOW.
Bulldoze the structures and send the residents back to their lovely and peaceful homelands where they can live in peace without whities being everywhere.
