Is violence higher on summer holidays such as Juneteenth than on working days?

I doubt the shooters work but there it's likely to be a more target rich environment on a holiday weekend.

Black Lives don’t matter in Chicago.

Black lives only matter on election day (month).

I don’t think that the common idiots’ “common sense” and “common ground” gun confiscation is going to work out. The morons need to come up with some new “moronic ideas” about how to keep people from killing one another.

At least 48 shot, 4 fatally in weekend violence across Chicago

last weekend, I think the casualties were 30 shot, 3 fatal.

~ 8% to 10% killed to wounded ratio.

Worst ratio ever…

In what way? Lowest killed to shot?

One wonders how the people who live there can continue to support the very Democrat politicians who exploit this endless tragedy.

Trapped in dependence... plus Chicago gangs work with democrat politicians. When Trump's President again, he can start taking on these democrat hellholes and helping free innocent decent black citizens.

They’re almost as bad as Star Wars Imperial Stormtroopers.

That, and the race doing the shootings (along with their victims) are not the correct shade, so the “white men are killers!” narrative is not advanced by reporting these incidents. In. A. Nutshell.

Chicago has been corrupt and very dangerous for decades. Politicians don’t want the daily carnage to end and they only flap their gums at “cleaning up the skreets” at re-election time.

Black on Black mass shootings are the mass shootings the media will not talk about. 265 people, mostly black, have been shot to death in the first half of 2022 in Chicago alone. 797 people were slain in Chicago in 2021, 25 more than in 2020. Either the media/democrats do not care about black deaths, or they have no use for such stories that don’t jibe with their narrative to stir up racial division.
