It was really inconvenient that Juneteenth fell on Father’s Day weekend this year . . .
Best site for Chicago violent crime stats.
“At least 27 people were shot, five of them fatally, Friday into Saturday evening in gun-controlled Chicago, Illinois.” Nothing to see here ladies and gentlemen, just another weekend in the combat zone, the free-fire zone.
But, but, a cross was burnt by a gay Chinese guy!
They were just celebrating the grand opening of that architectural delight, the ahem, library.
Was there anyone not black doing the shooting? Any witnesses?
Warming up for the “Big Bang” - the 4th of July.
Good questions.
Let’s go Brandon,
Too bad we don’t have a curious media.
Hey, it’s June 19th. The natives celebrated.
The library without books. But that's okay as most Chicagoans can't read (thanks to the Chicago school system).
“Happy Father’s D.....Bang bang bang”
Shot Friday Into Saturday Evening
Gives new meaning to “I’ll knock you into next week!”
Can you imagine the outcry if some white guy opened fire on a group of blacks?
Trumps fault!
Just goes to show that they need more gun control.
Father’s Day celebrations in the ghetto.
Barbecue and cook outs so outdated and “white”.
Only 27?
They say Juneteenth began to commemorate the day the black slaves found out they had been lied to and the war was over and they were free.
Now in 2026 black people are free to walk on a Chicago sidewalk and get shot with rounds from a drive by.
Progress.
