Gov. Pritzker's political grandstanding after Highland Park July 4 massacre is another example of "fakequity" in Illinois.
Pritzker's obvious political pandering made headlines, but given his track record, it isn't likely his hubris produces any significant reduction in mass shootings — or any shootings for that matter.
During his first term, Pritzker has regularly shouted of injustice and inequity while failing to deliver on promises, particularly in poor minority enclaves.
During the interview, Pritzker also claimed to "have been to and spent time with the communities and families that have been affected on the South Side, West Side of Chicago."
Tapper didn't toss the obvious follow questions: How often? Which people? And when was the last time one of those visits wasn't for a news conference or to film a campaign commercial?
Consider this: There hasn't been a mass shooting in Highland Park since July 4.
Chicago hasn't been so fortunate.
Since Independence Day, there have been three mass shootings on three separate days — July 6, 7 and 10th — in Chicago.

Now the marionette is off the strings! We may have been better before.
Maybe he’s a closet racist, like most democrats.
The black community needs to as that question.
You could say that they everyday shootings in Chicago are worse than the occasional mass shooting by a wacko. The overall toll is far higher, and it is a sickness of an entire culture, not just an individual madman.
Sorry to point out you spelled ask wrong. It isn’t as. It’s spelled ax...
Are we really sure it isn’t “aks”?
Lol my iPad is so old the screen only works when it wants to.
Pritzker evidently is not familiar with this website called hey Jackass.
Seems that if he was then he would know that the real jackass is the governor of Illinois.

Yes I thought similarly, that shootings happen all the time in Chicago. It’s not even news to hear, a dozen people shot and 3 or 4 killed in a typical weekend in Chicago.
It’s not even news, to hear that Chicago PD has increased staffing over holiday weekends, because historically the violence increases then.
The shootings in our big city ghettos just don’t get much attention from the news media.
I recommend it highly, been following it for years, since my daughter and son-in-law live in one of the “parks” on the north side. No, not Highland Park.
I miss Second City Cop.
Because he couldn’t blame Whitey.
Because in reality Black Lives Don’t Matter especially to Dems who run these Black cities etc!
“Why Wasn’t Pritzker ‘Furious’ About Mass Shootings In Black Chicago?”
None of Chicago’s media folks will ask him that.
