US streets were bathed in blood over Independence Day weekend with 142 killed in 379 separate shootings, with Chicago and Philadelphia among the locations worst-hit.
Chicago suffered the greatest bloodshed, with at least 92 shootings over the long weekend. That saw 16 killed and 76 injured.
National Guard soldier Chrys Carvajal, 19, is the only victim so-far named. He was shot while attending a house party after coming home to visit his family for the Independence Day celebrations.
'My brother. He was all of life. He had a bright future in front of him,' Carvajal's sister Jennifer Ramirez told ABC 7.
Ramirez told ABC 7 that her brother was gunned down in a drive-by shooting when he went outside to grab something. A motive is unclear.
Others who survived shootings in the Windy City included children as young as five and six, with others shot in the 12 to 30 age bracket, the Chicago Sun Times, reported.
Two cops were among the city's shooting victims. The unidentified officers were shot in the early hours of Monday while trying to disperse a crowd in the city's Washington Park.
They were rushed to hospital, and are expected to survive their injuries.
Philadelphia saw a total of 17 people shot over the weekend, with 21 injured, and seven killed.
Eleven people were shot, four died and another was stabbed during a six hour orgy of violence in Philadelphia during July 4 celebrations.
Six of those 11 shot were teenagers aged between 15 and 19.
The grim toll included a double murder where more than 100 shots rang out.
Shortly after 10:30pm on Sunday, more than 100 bullets ripped through a West Philadelphia barbeque, hitting 22-year-old Sincarr Johnson Jr. in the head, a 23-year-old man multiple times in the torso and a 16-year-old girl...

dirtbags killing other dirtbags for the most part.
Maybe if we’re lucky the degenerates will all kill themselves off.
Bump for later enjoyment.
Add East St. Louis to the list of Chicago and Philadelphia and you pretty much have it summed up.

When a 99.99988515164705% chance of not being shot is called a “bloodbath,” the Hyperbole Meter goes into overdrive, which meter corresponds to the BS Meter.
DemonRat cities are hellholes, but considering these numbers come from something called “Gun Violence Archive”, you can bet they are a lie.
Well, you KNEW that after a number of hours of collating news reports over the weekend, this headline was obligatory from their point of view.
just wait ‘til next juneteenth: they ain’t seen nuttin yet ...
Gee: You sound like the CRT defenders. Livingstone’s diaries are brutally truthful and, therefore, controversial. To conflate your biased opinion with that of the one man seeking to end slavery on the African continent is, frankly, quite emotional of you.
“Whilst Livingstone now enjoyed plurality and praise, the view of Africa was narrowing and becoming more negative: a place of death; the worst place for a white man to die; and it was a ‘country’ full of slaves. Africans were a race to be pitied: ‘the forlorn condition of the African races’ was an image that would increasingly dominate as the call to take up the anti-slavery cause increased as the funeral came closer. Whilst African skills, hard work and commercial aspirations were underscored in some reports, these would fade into the background, as Livingstone’s earlier verdict - they are ‘civilized, anxious to trade and skilful in the art of cultivation’, and ‘rather believe we are the savages’ - receded.”
If pointing out the obvious failures of liberal/democrat/progressive urban policies (ironically, those ‘failures’ could be labeled intentional) is ‘triggering’...
...then you certainly are incapable of handling what I call my own race when it comes to such anti-social/counter-culture (illegal) behavior.
Hmm, reading the article and seeing the pictures of the victims and likely shooters, I’m starting to think there’s a common denominator in all this violence.
Can’t quite put my finger on it, though. Oh, wait, I see it now! IT’S A GUN PROBLEM! Ha ha! That right there’s the problem.
Oh well! With that mystery solved, I’m off to watch TV and watch the commercials with 99% black people, all playing scientists and neurosurgeons, just like they all are in real life, surely!
Those Philadelphia Amish sure know how to celebrate but I’ve heard that the Ohio Amish are worse. Just ask Harrison Ford.
#5. re the 118 shootings in Chicago alone. You ask “How’s that gun control working out for ya”?
Well, you have to take into consideration the number of shooters, the number of bullets fired, the number of targets hit (both by single and multiples shots) versus misses, than you will know if their “gun control” really works in Chicago. /sarc but based on scientific analytical methods. Just as Fascist Fauci about the math.
180 IQ in that picture....total IQ of all of them combined.
The left wing Chicago news never follows up on the victims who die days or weeks after the shootings. The death toll will climb from the weekend shootings but never be reported.
Those guys aren’t authentic at all. There are no guns, no gold bling, and no huge piles of cash. Just a bunch of wanna-be thugs.
The clerk in the background seems to be a little bit concerned.
It’s really odd...there were zero shootings and murders here in the Coeur d’Alene, Idaho area. Non-stop BOOMS by thousands of evil “Nationalists” celebrating America and what it stands for, but no murder or mayhem.
How can that possibly be?
Or, as leftists euphemize it: Kultural Enrichment
