Ah yes, BLDM (black lives don't matter) when the Dims and the MSM can't beat people over the head with it to divide America.
Eleven people were killed and at least 56 others were wounded in citywide shootings over Father’s Day weekend, marking the second-worst weekend for gun violence this year.
A 3-year-old boy and three teenagers were among those shot to death between Friday evening and Sunday night, according to data maintained by the Chicago Sun-Times. Four other juveniles were also struck by gunfire.
The spate of shootings came just three weeks after 24 people were killed and at least 85 others were shot during Chicago’s most violent weekend in modern history. That historic surge in shootings happened amid the unrest that gripped the city when a downtown protest over the officer-involved killing of George Floyd devolved into chaos and led to days of looting.
‘Bullets destroy neighborhoods’
This weekend’s youngest victim, Mekay James, was shot Saturday evening when someone opened fire at his father as they drove through the 600 block of North Central in Austin, according to Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. James’ father rushed him to West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
During a news conference Sunday, police Supt. David Brown mourned the boy’s death and also reflected on the killing of 13-year-old Amaria Jones, who was shot hours after James when a stray bullet tore through her apartment in the same neighborhood and pierced her neck as she watched television.
