If the mayor just does not let any white reporters in, there is no problem with record numbers of shootings (right?).

This can't be true! Why, everyone knows they have very strict gun control in Chicago. The Second Amendment has been effectively eliminated. Must be fake news??

its more important that the rest of the world knows all whites are racist. Just ask the 'mayor'.
17 shot? Its a cultural thing. Violence is justified when you are black and stupid. The behavior bar is set so low anything goes.

In a related news story '36 shot, 8 fatally, since Friday night in Chicago.' New York City and Chicago are fighting for the lead. Mayors DiBlasio and Lightfoot are making side bets.

Darn all those Trump supporters and white supremeist! If Lightfoot would just enact some common sense gun control (e.g. free Drive By shooting ranges for gang=bangers so they quit killing so many random bystanders), and crack down on these white supremeist groups. Throw Trump supporters into reeducation camps and murders drop to nothing.

Where is mayor Lightfoot? Is this an example of how she cares for the citizens of Chicago by doing nothing?

The only black lives that matter are ones where the trained Marxists can gain money and power.

How many white people have been shot in Chicago this year?
Maybe if they just took the guns from the people doing the shooting it might slow down.
Is that a laugh. Imagine a law that says black people cannot own guns.
But facts speak louder than words. That is who is doing the shootings.

This doesn't even include Saturday night. Memorial Day and Juneteenth will seal the record, then July 4th. Helluva job, Lightfoot.
