They were at a large gathering in the street about 11:35 p.m. in the 6100 block of South Carpenter Street when four males walked up and started shooting, according to Chicago police. The 14-year-old boy was hit in the back and pronounced dead at Comer Children’s Hospital.

Be home before the streetlights come on

That was the rule when I was 14 years old.

He would probably be alive today if he had been home before dark.

Nothing good happens after dark in the city.

Meanwhile, a small cell of BLM supporters are ‘protesting’ throughout peaceful towns in SW Virginia/East Tennessee. Why? What’s their point? Oh...the leader of this group is from...wait for it...CHICAGO.

Black lives only matter to blacks if (1) it pertains to death by law enforcement (2) it pertains to death by law enforcement (3) it pertains to death by law enforcement. Make sense? Not to me, but it seems to be the case :(

The Republicans need to run a law and order candidate for mayor in Chicago.

He could end each speech with a couple eulogies of that year’s victims of inner city killings.

The people of Chicago need to be informed of the uselessness of electing Democrats year after year and getting the same deadly results.

Its amusing to watch upper middle class white children having their spasms of pre adult lunacy. However its black people who suffer from the nihilistic, Marxist policies of BLM. When police are prevented from performing aggressive policing and peacekeeping, the black death rate and suffering increases dramatically. The black urban population is left to the tender mercies of the gangs and thugs. Rational police will not risk their well being preventing or investigating crimes. Laws and civil rights will not be enforced. Eventually those well fed white children will reassert their privlidge especially when mommy and daddy are no longer able or willing to support them.

As recently as a few weeks ago, I saw a puff piece on Chicago hosted by Savannah Guthrie insisting that it ranked #1 as America’s favorite large city.

If they didn’t shoot sideways, they could get that number up. The weekend isn’t over yet.

What has that creepy male/female/whatever little mayor said about all that violence? Trumps fault? Chicago should be so proud of themselves?

Apparently Black lives don’t matter in Chicago.

No Whiteys around to blame, so not in the news.

In the 60s, there was a PSA commercial “It’s 10 o’clock. Do you know where your children are?” It’s obvious some parents don’t care. Those kids who get shot every day in Chicago would be here if their parents cared the least little bit. The fist raised BLMs would do better to fix their homes and neighborhoods first.

The Chicago black plague isn’t useful in banging the gong against President Trump. There are more useful tools to do that: The virus, the ripped fabric of society, and the economic downturn. When those things are no longer useful the media will return to the black plague and it will be spun as Trump’s fault.
