Ten people were killed and 45 more, including two Chicago police officers and a 15-year-old boy, were wounded in shootings across Chicago over the weekend.
Ahead of the weekend, Chicago police braced for protests in the city in the wake of civil unrest north of the Illinois border sparked by the Kenosha police shooting of Jacob Blake. The department’s new Critical Incident Response team, consisting of about 200 officers, was deployed downtown. Seven people were arrested at a Black Lives Matter protest at Loyola University Saturday, while a march downtown that day ended with no arrests.
Last weekend, 66 people were shot throughout the city, five of them fatally.

Only ten!
Maybe we could offer free gun accuracy training for these gangs.
Two kills per eleven shots won't get the job done fast enough.
We could fund it out of Crime Stoppers.

Those black lives, killed by other blacks, don’t matter. They’re not a useful pawn for the DEMs and so-called black leaders.

Remember, everything the media, schools and leftist government apparatchiks tell us about “race in America” is false
Its not only wrong, its 180 Degrees wrong, and purposefully so.

Just increasing the cycle of an already 51% increase from last year. They prefer to weed out their population by putting them 6 ft under.

Until every Chicago citizen has a good firearm and can use it, these criminals know they can burgle rob and rape as much as they want with virtual impunity. We need to restore firearms training and shooting sports in the high schools ASAP

No doubt Trump instigated this.
Is the sarcasm tag really needed?
