104 People Shot in Chicago Over the Weekend

 We don't have to post the pictures.  We already know the shooters are black, fatherless, selling drugs, part of a gang, dropped out of school and aren't afraid of the police at all.

In what could come close to a record-setting weekend of Chicago violence, 109 people were shot over the extended holidays since July 4th, local media reports.

"One hundred and nine people have been shot, 19 fatally, in gun violence across Chicago since Wednesday during the extended Fourth of July holiday weekend, police said," ABC7 Chicago writes. The casualty count rose throughout the day as more police and hospital data was tallied, and came across news desks.

Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling and Mayor Brandon Johnson condemned the uptick in violent crime. "We have to really stop and think about the mindset of someone who will shoot a child, a helpless child an unarmed mother and think that that's okay. And go about their days," Snelling said. "Those people have to be taken off the street. They have to be put away if we're not doing that. Then we're failing other families."

The victims were teens as well as men ranging in age from 16 to 36 years old, police data indicates. The demographic strongly points to most of these being gang-related shootings.

By comparison, there were 33 people total that died from violent crime across the entire nation, thus deaths in Chicago alone made up the bulk.

July 4th and the weekend closest to it tends to be the single deadliest holiday on the calendar year in Chicago, according to past data. This year's Chicago violence is far and above that of last year's. 

The 2023 extended holiday weekend went from Friday night to Tuesday, during which time 57 people were shot and eight were killed.

“When we look at what happened this weekend, we always like to say that it’s a police issue,” Snelling continued during a press conference. "This is a societal issue. The police cannot be in everybody’s backyard. They cannot be in everyone’s home. They cannot invade every single gathering where there’s a possibility that someone may show up with a gun."

Lawlessness will increase.  The love of many will grow cold.

The black community is in a free fall.  Bastard children make up nearly 80% of all births.  Grandma can't raise a 14 yr old boy on her own.  They need Jesus but instead the community will play the victim card and blame slavery that was pushed upon their great, great grandfather.

Tragic.
