There will be no riots protesting the shooting of 7-year-old Jaslyn Adams: The innocent little black girl just wanted to eat something from Mickey D's.

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 on black crime. For every black killed by a white person, there are hundreds of blacks killed by other blacks.

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.

“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?

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...

Exactly. Racists don’t give 2 craps about killings if “they” do it. Racists only care if whitey does it.
