Blacks commit 56% of all murders in 2019. They commit at least 50% each and every year. They're 12.5% of the population.

No one ever said that white people don't care but blacks are a lot more likely to do it then any white person....

This idiot of course will be used as a tool for leftist fucks to push under the mat all the black murders and destruction in our society.

CHICAGO -- At least 33 people have been shot, five fatally, in weekend violence across Chicago, police said.​

​

The youngest homicide victim was a 16-year-old boy shot Saturday evening near "The Bean" statue in the Loop, leading Mayor Lori Lightfoot to impose a curfew for unaccompanied minors on weekends at Millennium Park.​

​

Declaring the city "cannot allow any of our public spaces to become platforms for danger," Lightfoot said unaccompanied minors won't be allowed there after 6 p.m. from Thursday through Sunday, unless they're with "at least one responsible adult."​

​

Two people were arrested shortly after 16-year-old Seandell Holliday was shot dead while crowds gathered near "The Bean," police said. Seandell was shot in his chest and pronounced dead at Lurie Children's Hospital.​

​

Later Saturday night, two more people were shot in the Loop after police said two children opened fire on a group of people shortly before midnight in the 300-block of South State Street. A man was shot in the neck and chest, while another man, 18, was shot in the hand.​

​

Shootings in the downtown area have increased this year. So far this weekend, five of the 31 shootings victims were in the 1st police district, which covers the Loop and Near South Side areas. Shootings in the district are up 60% over last year through May 8, according to police statistics. All other categories of major crime - including murder, robbery, theft and battery - are also up in the downtown police district.​

​

Nearly a third of shooting victims this weekend were in two police districts on the West Side: the 10th (Ogden) and 11th (Harrison) districts.​

​

Other fatal shootings this weekend since 5 p.m. Friday:​

​

- A 17-year-old boy was shot and killed in Englewood on the South Side. He was standing near a sidewalk around 7:25 p.m. Friday when shots rang out in the 6900-block of South Ada Street, police said. He was shot in his chest and armpit area and pronounced dead at the University of Chicago Medical Center.​

​

- A gunman shot two men, one of them fatally, after their vehicles collided Friday evening near Douglas Park in the Lawndale neighborhood. The shooting happened around 11:30 p.m. in 1200 block of South California Avenue, police said. One of the men, 40, was shot in the chest and died Mount Sinai Hospital. The other man, also 40, was hospitalized in good condition.​

​

- Saturday evening, a 19-year-old man was shot to death in a Washington Park home. He was inside the home in the 5700-block of South Indiana Avenue when someone fired shots around 5:30 p.m, police said. He was taken to the University of Chicago with a gunshot wound to the head and pronounced dead.​

​

- Saturday afternoon, a man was fatally shot in West Englewood on the South Side. He was near a sidewalk in the 6500-block of South Ashland Avenue when someone opened fire and struck the 34-year-old around 4:30 p.m., police said. He was hit several times and taken to the University of Chicago, where he was pronounced dead.​

​

- The youngest person wounded this weekend was a 13-year-old boy shot Sunday in the South Shore neighborhood. He was shot while standing on a sidewalk with a group of people in the 7800-block of South Essex Avenue around 1:45 a.m., police said. He was hospitalized in fair condition with a gunshot wound to his buttocks at Comer Children's Hospital.​

​

Last weekend, 24 people were shot, six fatally.​

Given that the average IQ of US blacks is 88 I'd not bet on it either.

What's your IQ? Yea it takes a real genius to own a gun shop or to make a gun.

[Smokin' OP]

Every time there is a mass shooting by a RWNJ, they automatically deflect to Chicago and the random shootings that happen there.

It's always "whatabout" with these people.

May 16 2022
“What is hate speech? Well, it’s speech that our leaders hate."

During a broadcast of his show "Tucker Carlson Tonight" on Monday, the Fox News host blamed Saturday's mass shooting of 13 people in a predominantly Black neighborhood of Buffalo, N.Y. by a radicalized white gunman on the policies of President Joe Biden, the Democratic party and pretty much anyone who's called for a stop to the hate speech and racist ideology espoused by the suspect — and Carlson himself.

“You probably haven’t learned a lot about the people who were shot, beyond that they were Black,” Carlson said in the episode's opening moments, after pointing out that there had been more than 100 deaths over the weekend in metro areas and that gun violence was "typical" in metro areas like Los Angeles and Chicago.

Majority of Guns Used in Chicago Crimes Come From Outside Illinois: Report

Nearly 60 percent of guns recovered in Chicago come from out-of-state dealers, with more than 20 percent traced back to Indiana, according to a newly-released report on the city’s violence.

Where 50,000 Guns Recovered in Chicago Came From

The Chicago Police Department traced the origins of about 50,000 guns that it recovered between 2001 and March 2012.<br> More than half of those guns came from outside the state.

Uh...you realize that Hammond Indiana is a two minute drive from Chicago across the Skyway Bridge.

The New York Times is banking on the fact that Americans don't know the geography of their own country.

Shhhhh! Maybe no one will pay attention, again.

Or, there's no political hay to make out of this.

Or we realize that America has accepted violence as the norm.

It's not like we are going to pass meaningful gun reform, or engage in meaningful poverty relief, or come up with programs that address mental illness or addiction. What, we don't want to be a bunch of sissy European!!!

The reason why a mass murderer shooting 10 people gets our attention because it is so over the top... which means we pay attention for about a week.

Sounds like why we need a national gun law... clearly it doesn't help if Chicago passes a gun law if you can drive across the skyway to Indiana and come back with a trunkload of guns, no questions asked.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

Sounds like why we need a national gun law.

We have one—The Second Amendment. What we need to do is to strictly enforce it, and impose severe penalties on any corrupt public servant who has any willing part in violating it.

Lawlessness starts at the top.

The solution is to defund the police and send out social workers instead. Yeah........that's the ticket!

 

[Bob Blaylock]

Exactly, no one should be allowed to own any weapon but a musket and flintlock.

By that logic, no one should be able to communicate to the masses by any means than standing on a soapbox and giving a speech in the public square, or publishing a newsletter on a hand-cranked press with movable type.

I agree, if you have that much of an opinion, work for it.

 

[Missourian]

Is it out of state?

Sure...but it's two minutes out of state. Point being the assumption that is being made is criminals are buying guns in Indiana...but a lot of that number could be explained by folks moving from NW Indiana into the greater Chicago area and their legally purchased guns being stolen.

Gary and Hammond have turned from pretty nice places to shitholes...while western Chicago has seen a resurgence... Even Cicero looks remarkably nice these days.

 

[Missourian]

Sounds like why we need a national gun law... clearly it doesn't help if Chicago passes a gun law if you can drive across the skyway to Indiana and come back with a trunkload of guns, no questions asked.

Why would we need new laws when it is already illegal for a resident of Indiana... the only people who can legally buy handguns in Indiana...to sell handguns to residents of Illinois...

So that is a helluva lot of folks moving and their guns being stolen, sounds more like a cop out.

Race doesn't matter right Klansmen?

Your subset is small... so really it's not. You're talking about guns recovered from crimes that can also be traced... I'm betting you're looking at a very small pool. Does the article in the NYT say the total number of guns they looked at?
