The “mostly peaceful” leftist rioters in Chicago dragged police officers through the street and kicked them in the head last week.

The far left rioters and looters made Chicago’s Magnificent Mile look like Chicago’s Boarded Up Mile.

By last weekend the left was calling to defund the police in several US cities.

This past weekend Chicago suffered its most violent weekend of the year.

The Sun-Times reported:

Twenty-four people were killed and at least 61 others were wounded by gun violence in Chicago’s most violent weekend of the year so far, which also saw widespread protests, riots and looting throughout the city in the wake of the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd.

More than half of the weekend’s victims were shot on Sunday as the city reeled from violent protests Saturday night that led to hundreds of arrests and the implementation of a curfew.

Chicago Police Supt. David Brown said Monday that of the total fatal shootings over the weekend, 17 homicides occurred on Sunday alone. The Cook County medical examiner’s office confirmed 15 for Sunday, with another three at unknown locations.

The weekend’s toll surpasses the tally from the same weekend in 2019, when 52 people were wounded — 8 fatally — in citywide gun violence.

Chicago...Mafia back when and now...just violent people.

And we thought Snake Pliskin in his Escape from New York was Hollywood fiction? Soon the progressive left will be carving up budgets to fund war lords disguised as social services contractors in our large cities.

None of those black lives matter at all.

After the firehose of #BLM propaganda aimed at me the last 10 days by politicians, mainstream media, big tech, and corporations - I’m finding it really difficult to care what happens on the South Side of Chicago.

It's a democrat hellhole - that's why it's violent.

Comment at Fox News...

So if the number gets to 100 killed in a single day in Chicago, will that get BLM's attention? What about 500?? 1,000?????? Please tell me what it will take for them to finally march on the South-side of Chicago...I'm waiting...

As long as they weren’t shot by white LEO, all good apparently.

Aren't ALL hellholes violent?

No, places like North Korea aren’t ‘violent’ in the traditional sense. You do something top thugs don’t like and they kill you AND your family to ‘set an example’... Commies don’t even fake the ‘empathy’ they use to take over - once in charge they’re brutal.
