Ten people were killed, including four children, and at least 60 others wounded in shootings across Chicago over the weekend, police said.

The youngest of those killed this weekend was 3-year-old Mekhi James. The little boy had just gotten haircut with his stepdad in the 600-block of North Central Avenue at about 6:25 p.m. Saturday when police said a vehicle pulled up next to them in traffic on the West Side and someone started shooting from inside.

defund the police, yeah, that’s a great idea.

************

Due to attrition there may not be much of a force left to defund.

Being a leftist means never having to consider or acknowledge consequences to your crazy ideas.

So a bunch of white cops killed 70 black people in Chicago this weekend? /s

Yep, AND they were all unarmed AND turning their lives around... /s

You guys are only counting the 70 people killed by cops by SHOOTING them.

You're completely ignoring the other 150 who died by cops kneeling on their necks.

That is a horrific loss of human life. Tragic.

But, those deaths are not politically useful to Democrats.
So they’ll be largely ignored.

Just wondering, is there more people hospitalized in Chicago for gunshot wounds than Covid?

“BLM! BLM! BLM! BLM! BLM!”

As I scrolled down the first time, I saw that as:

BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!

Which also would have been appropriate...

Lori Groot Lightfoot commented:

Mayor Lori Lightfoot called the shooting “a heinous, unconscionable act of cowardice” and said the boy “had his whole life ahead of him.”

Lightfoot urged community members to come forward with information for police to investigate.

To the shooter, Lightfoot warned: “To the despicable individuals responsible for this senseless act of violence, you have no place in this city, no home in our communities, no shelter to hide.”

Community activist Andrew Holmes said he was offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the shooter, who he called “a straight coward.”

It was Father’s er Sperm Donor’s day for BLMers, and they were just trying to link up on that special day.

Now, now everyone. According to Al Sharpton, the reason blacks don’t marry and raise families like the other races is because of slavery. Following that “logic”, Father’s Day weekend would surely result in more shootings in the black community.

Obama needed to free up more SS #’s to sell off to some of his Muslim Brotherhood and Russian bathhouse pals...

Have they ever considered banning weapons in the city? We need to wait for the autopsies. How many of these dead died of a virus? I hope these deaths do not prevent these people from voting for Joe Biden.

Most people say that the US has a gun problem, that’s not so, we have a violent black problem.

👍 Yah, it would be so rasis, if lack of CO2 production delegitimized votes for Uncle joey.
