The shooting death of 13-year-old Adam Toledo in a Chicago alley is a horrible heartbreak, but what about the death of 7-year-old Jaslyn Adams? Adam Toledo's death has sparked protests and riots in Chicago and all over the country, but I suspect Jaslyn's will be just another statistic.

Madeline Kenney, Jermaine Nolen, and Cindy Hernandez of the Chicago Sun-Times report:
A 7-year-old girl was killed and her father was seriously wounded in a shooting Sunday afternoon as they were getting food at a McDonald's drive-thru in the Homan Square neighborhood.
The father, Jontae Adams, 28, and his daughter, Jaslyn, were in a silver Infiniti about 4:20 p.m. at the McDonald's, 3200 W. Roosevelt Road, when they were shot, Chicago police said. A McDonald's employee, who asked not to be named, said two people got out of a gray car and started shooting at the victim's car. (snip)
Police said the shooting was believed to be gang-related, and less than three hours later, two people were shot in their car at a Popeyes in Humboldt Park, which investigators believe is connected to the McDonald's shooting.
Jaslyn was not out in the wee hours of the morning armed with a handgun, as Adam was. She just wanted to eat something from Mickey D's.
Gangs are killing many times the number of Black people that police do. Gangs live in the ethnic communities they kill. Yet where are the voices mobilizing communities against these predators?

Black lives matter....................... Except to other blacks.............
More reasons to stay away from fast food joints
That’s why I say, “ALL Black Lives Matter”
The media is having a tough time building riots over the Toledo shooting. Unfortunately, for them, Toledo is white hispanic, and not a BLM martyr. Hispanics, who are also killed by cops proportionately as much as Blacks as well as whites, do not generally play the victim card. Extensive rioting is not in their blood. For the most part, work is.
Wonder if dad had Jaslyn in the car thinking it would make him less of a target...
Not to anyone with any common sense.
“Black lives matter....................... Except to other blacks.............”
What do you nean “other blacks”?
BLM is mainly white people.
IF the dad was using his daughter as a human shield...
Democrat Response: Why was the dad bringing the child into such a dangerous area?
“BLM is mainly white people.”
Seems to me a lot of those white protesters are Millennials but I might be mistaken. And as my wife pointed out, when trouble erupts at those “mostly peaceful protests” the blacks seem to disappear leaving the white to get the brunt of the violence. Maybe another mistake?
That double quarter pounder with cheese though.
Imagine what we would have if conservatives actually acted on their feelings.
Heartbreak?
For about 15 seconds then I just block it out ...like the rest of the herd.
Friggin awful...
No Rules = No Good
Only whites and white cops who kill blacks
Because it does nothing to advance the democrat agenda.
Exactly. Racists don’t give 2 craps about killings if “they” do it. Racists only care if whitey does it.
