At least 21 people were shot, one of them fatally, at a Juneteenth celebration in gun-controlled Illinois on Sunday morning around 12:30 a.m.

CNN reported the shooting occurred “in a parking lot in Willowbrook, about 21 miles west of Chicago.”

FOX 32 pointed out two of the wounded remain in critical condition.

FOX News noted DuPage County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Eric Swanson indicated that deputies patrolling the area near the parking lot heard the gunshots and responded.

Swanson said, “The motive behind this incident is unclear and this is still an active investigation.”

Notice how the Dims have pretty much replaced MLK Day, an actual peaceful celebration of non-racist race relations, with this BS divisive activist celebration of June 19.

The left will eventually cancel MLK, because he was too “moderate”.

Willowbrook, Illinois is located in suburban Du Page County.
Before gerrymandering, this was formerly a reliably Republican county outside of the control of the Chicago Democrats. No longer true.

A modest proposal: let’s repeal all of the bogus federal and state holidays in order to save lives. There seems to be a correlation between three day weekends and mass shootings in the hood.

As far as I know, that was decided upon as constitutional by the state supreme court, and SCOTUS refused to hear the case.

So... Yeah. Modern sporting rifles are banned for sale. Any already in the state must be registered with the state police, as do any handguns which can take mags that hold more than ten rounds, because those magazines are now illegal.

Fvck this state.
