Austin, Texas, Savanah, Georgia, Cleveland, Ohio and Chicago all saw mass shootings earlier on Saturday

A man was killed in Savannah, with seven others injured, while a woman died in Chicago, with nine injured

Three died and four were injured in Cleveland - with the victims identified as two men both aged 40, and a third man aged 36

No-one was killed when two gunmen opened fire on drinkers in Austin, but 14 were injured, two of whom remain critically-ill

Savannah Police Chief Roy Minter Jr and Police Executive Research Forum Director Chuck Wexler fear a summer of gun violence lies ahead They say a recent spike in gun crime appears to be a long-term trend, rather than a brief blip

COVID, and calls to defend the police that have led to staff shortages have been partially-blamed for spiraling crime levels

Top cops say they fear that the US could be hit by a horrific summer of mass shootings - with four states alone witnessing gun atrocities within the last 24 hours.

Savannah Police Chief Roy Minter Jr and Chuck Wexler, from the Police Executive Research Forum, said a recent explosion in the number of shootings appears to be a long term trend, rather than a blip.

Minter spoke after a man was killed and seven were injured in a mass drive-by shooting in the Georgia city on Friday night. The victim has since been named as Arthur Milton, 20. Seven others were injured.

He said: 'It's very disturbing what we're seeing across the country and the level of gun violence that we're seeing across the country.

'It's disturbing and it's senseless.'

It is not “gun crime” it is Black Crime. The MSM and the Democrats will continue to inappropriately characterize these crimes as “gun crimes” to avoid the real issue of Black Crime and to disarm you.

One problem may be arson and urban riots. In my opinion, the cure for that would be “gun violence”.

Absolutely, the more the better for them. They’ll keep it stoked up until it reaches a point they call “crisis level gun violence”. We both know where it goes from there.

Of course the solution will be to disarm law abiding people.

Meanwhile, teach those same black criminals about Critical Race Theory, have the president say White Supremacy is worse and more widespread than ISIS and Al Qaeda, feature black athletes claiming the police officers get up in the morning and ponder whether they should kill a black man, and even have a Yale psychiatrist talk about how happy killing white folk is—you add a bounce to your step.

This business is going to end badly.

Sure. Dis the police, defund the police, take away qualified immunity and see the crime rate soar. I’ll bet the Democrats and Lame Street Media doesn’t see a connection here.

Don’t care. I live in the Northwoods of WI. Thugs wouldn’t dare start nothing. The mosquitoes would even join in.

The decades long destruction of the black family is the source of most of our violence not because guns.

I honestly believe they making preparations to do exactly that. Probably the sooner, the better for us.
