100 shot, 14 fatally, in July 4 weekend gun violence across Chicago
100 people shot and BLM still nowhere in sight. Dems are doing a great job leading Chicago and Illinois.



Quote:Fourteen people were killed and 86 others were wounded in shootings across Chicago in a bloody Fourth of July weekend between Friday afternoon and Wednesday morning.

Last year’s Independence Day weekend, which was one day shorter than this year’s, ended with 66 people shot, four of them fatally — a total that actually stoked cautious optimism with the lowest death toll for the July 4 weekend in nearly a decade.

Six of the people who died this year were among 36 people shot across the city in an 8-hour span of violence between 8 p.m. Tuesday and 4 a.m. Wednesday.

I say this in the hopes that it will shed some light on why this doesn't get any attention not to be a cold hearted dick head.

I really don't care, not one bit.

No offense Chicago, but your city is doing something wrong to have that much violence. Perhaps the governor should call up the national guard to restore order....

Feds have already been ordered in. We will see if anything comes of it.

Different groups always bring this up as if we are all supposed to feign caring or else face a moral dressing down.

Do you belong to an organization that is based on the fact that black lives matter?
Are you a leading Democrat in Chicago or Illinois who run on the fact that Republicans don't care about blacks or minorities? The killing fields of Chicago are one of the biggest stories of hypocrisy by BLM and the Democrats. I would hope that you do care about the innocents, especially children, that are caught in the crossfire of the gang bangers. They are the real victims of this slaughter.

Your comment typifies what I was saying in my previous comment.

No, I don't honestly care.

I get the sense that the only reason you care is for the reason you specified, liberal hypocrisy.

I find the disingenuous nature of your caring to be more concerning than me just not honestly giving a ****.

So, you don't care about the innocents that are murdered in the crossfire? Here is one reason I began to take note of the situation in Chicago. I personally met this young man while at my University. He was a fine person and was tracked down and murdered because he told a drug dealer he wouldn't sell his drugs. So don't even begin to preach to me I don't care about what is going on in Chicago. Jonathan Mills was a great young man and his death hit home with USM fans.

so what have you done about it other than post threads? Has anyone at USM started a foundation to help Chicago youths?

Look, I'm not trying to call you out and morally degrade you.

My point is that I have to be honest and say I don't care. I simply don't. You can throw buzzwords at me and they still mean nothing to me.

And, forgive me, but the basketball connection is tenuous as best.

You're practicing the same mental gymnastics some on the left do. They pretend to be victims and you pretend to be a moral upright on this issue.

Do I believe you care? Maybe in some tiny way where it impacts you--the two you've given are your school's basketball team and liberal hypocrisy, but not in the abstract.

I agree with both of you to a degree.

For the gangbangers and drug dealers that are getting popped, I couldn't care less. Have at it scum bags.

But periodically a child or grandmother raising her shitbag son's and/or daughter's children, dies in a crossfire, I do feel bad.

What can we do about it? Well maybe call out the people who could do something and just ignore the situation.

I like that better.

And to lower injuries to innocent bystanders we could open a firearm skills center somewhere outside of Chicago that specializes in the sideways gatt hold method so that bad guys can look good while still maintaining optimum accuracy.
