CHICAGO (WLS) -- At least 26 people have been shot, six fatally, in gun violence across Chicago so far this weekend, police said.

In the latest fatal shooting, a man was found shot to death inside a home Sunday afternoon in South Chicago.

He was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. No one is in custody, and area detectives continue to investigate.

Three other people were shot in River North on Sunday morning, Chicago police said. They were standing in the first block of West Hubbard Street when they were shot as two vehicles were exchanging gunfire. Two victims, ages 22 and 26, were shot multiple times and transported to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition, police said. The 32-year-old victim was shot twice in the left arm and transported to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in stable condition.

On Saturday, 17-year-old boy died at University of Chicago Hospital after he and a 16-year-old boy were shot in the 6400 block of South King Drive at around 5:54 p.m. According to Chicago police, the teens were standing on the street when they were both shot by an unknown suspect.

It’s okay. Nobody cares.

The media and democrats only care when it’s whites and cops killing blacks. So, no harm.

All I see are human beings who can’t think.

I see dunces who vote against their own self interest, their own prosperity, their own safety.

I see rubes and half wits supporting fake victims while putting on aires of uneared intellectual superiority.

Some people lack the ability to know their own limitations and lack the humility to admit it.

...they are easily manipulated and they vote

I look at that picture and feel hopeless and helpless.

“Welcome Refugees!”

Will they be distributing free guns and ammunition to people so that they can defend themselves?

I haven’t read an article with the word Chicago in the title for a long, long time. The reason is they seldom change, and Chicago is essentially a foreign land. The authors always portray the dead in Chicago like they were middle class white people to generate sympathy and readership.
Dig into the articles and the victims are almost always a subclass of blacks living in and amongst crime that they are a part of, either as perpetrator or victim. I watched an interview of a woman who had lost her (third, fourth, fifth?) son to a drive by shooting and wanted to scream, “move away!” However, this is the only life she knows. She was born to it and will die there. The wider white, middle-class readership doesn’t care about the murders because they are a self-inflicted disaster and that disaster remains among the same neighbors who are, effectively, living in a foreign country far distant from the rest of Chicago.

According to heyjackass.com, 80.8% of the victim and assailants are black, 15.9% Hispanic, and 3.3% white. That’s an objective measure (I.e., it’s not racist).

So what exactly are black people in Chicago going to do to stop this? To not bury more family members and live a long happy life?
