67 shot and 13 killed, Democrat-ruled Chicago violence erupts during holiday weekend

This is horrible. Why don’t these black lives matter to Mayor Lori Lightfoot, the Democrats and BLM? Because they are full of BS that’s why! They would much rather attack President Trump, at the behest of the racist Democrat Party. The POTUS must intervene. The pro-criminal mayor of Chicago is unwilling and incapable of policing her city. She has also refused to deploy the National Guard to protect her citizens, since that would require her to work with President Trump. Horrible!

Chicago violence erupts during holiday weekend, at least 67 shot and 13 killed

By Fox News, July 5, 2020

Chicago‘s bloody gun violence continued through the holiday weekend as more than 67 people were shot and at least 13 killed, including a 7-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy.

Nine of the victims were minors, with only the two fatalities so far, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

The girl, identified by her family as Natalie Wallace, was outside her grandmother’s home at a Fourth of July party in the city’s Austin neighborhood around 7 p.m. when a vehicle pulled up and three men got out and started shooting indiscriminately.

Wallace was shot in her head and pronounced dead after she was rushed to a hospital, police said, according to Chicago’s FOX 32.

A 32-year-old man shot during the same attack was in fair condition, FOX 32 reported.

“Tonight, a 7-year-old girl in Austin joined a list of teenagers and children whose hopes and dreams were ended by the barrel of a gun,” Mayor Lori Lightfoot wrote on Twitter. “We cannot grow numb to this. We are making progress in slowing shootings, but we have to do better, every single one of us.”

A 34-year-old woman, a 31-year-old man, and a 20-year-old man were also killed earlier Saturday, WLS-TV reported.

The 14-year-old boy was killed in the city’s Englewood neighborhood, in an attack that left three other people dead and four wounded, including boys ages 11 and 15, the Tribune reported.

Four men had walked up to a gathering and started firing shots. They fled and have not been arrested, the newspaper reported.

Sunday saw further reports of shootings and deaths from the Independence Day celebrations, bringing the total to over a dozen deaths and many more injured.

Among the dead are a 21-year-old who was shot to death at 2 a.m. and a woman who was the sole casualty on the West Side, with 5 men injured.

The West Side shooting occurred as the group was setting off fireworks on the sidewalk, according to police. A 20-year-old woman was shot in the head and abdomen and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

David Scott, 24, and another victim, 20, were in an argument with a male suspect in a Riverdale parking lot before the suspect walked to a home and shot the men through the door. Scott was taken to Christ Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Why don’t these black lives matter to Mayor Lori Lightfoot, the Democrats and BLM?

Simply because this was never about the lives or welfare of black people. They are cannon fodder for the left to destroy America and seize control during the chaos. It’s no more complicated than that

They won’t seize control.. it is futile divisionism by the Left. To take control of America (or the UK for that matter), you need to cheat massively in elections and have the military on your side. The military in the West are by and large the last safe places of respect, honesty and integrity. The Left will not be happy until they have completely destroyed themselves, and taken a good few (normal) people with them

I think you are in error in assuming the military to still be relatively virtuous. I’m not saying many members are not, but I am saying it is also not a given. There will be massive cheating and the military has been well infiltrated (for lack of a better word) by loonies. A long term project started by the Clintons with the purging of good career officers and NCOs and replacing with leftist dilettantes.

Six Weeks, Six Cities, 600 Murders
By Kevin McCullough
Posted: Jul 05, 2020 11:00 AM

The single most important domestic issue of our time is not the rising number of new people testing positive for COVID-19. Deaths have hit all-time lows.

The single most important domestic issue of our time is not even the continued economic hardship of a nation that was artificially shut down and sent spiraling into a faux recession. Millions of jobs have been added over the past 60 days and the skyrocketing unemployment has turned around to nearly where it was percent wise in most of the Obama early years (11.1 vs 9.9.)

Nope!

The single most important issue, affecting some of the largest swaths of populations in America, is the scandal the media ignores even as it explodes in our faces.

In only six weeks, city after city operated by entrenched Democrats have seen a massive expansion in lawlessness, violence, and murder. Stunningly, many news outlets seem gobsmacked and mystified at how or why such an explosion of lawlessness has occurred.

For the sake of brevity, let’s sample six of the nation’s largest cities, including all of the top three.

New York:

The Democratic mayor has long been understood as anti-police. His wife recently imagined the city as “Nirvana” if the NYPD were eliminated altogether.

Thus far in 2020, homicides are up 21 percent. Shootings are up by 46 percent. The Democratic mayor’s agenda included emptying the prison known as Rikers Island, bail reform letting perps walk before the paperwork is completed, and the effort to #DefundPolice that took 600 anti-crime units out of commission.

Los Angeles:

June saw disturbing trends. An increase in the month’s first week by 250 percent of homicides, and a 56 percent increase in shootings. Following the death of George Floyd in May the LAPD received a $150 million cut.

Chicago:

Year-to-date shootings have eclipsed 1,508 for 2020, putting them 350 ahead of 2019. To date homicides sit at 254, placing them ahead of 2019. Important to note that the Cook County board voted in favor of defunding police. Eleven city alderman raced to the fore to demand that not a single penny of $333 million in federal dollars not go to police, and various proposals are being considered to cut current funding by more than $30 million in current spending.

Washington, D.C.

Year-to-date homicide numbers are 13 percent higher than this time a year ago. Nevertheless, the District PD is slated to be defunded by more than $15 million.

Philadelphia:

Shootings are up 67 percent. Victims of armed violence are up 29 percent. Homicides are up 25 percent. So of course it makes sense to defund the Philadelphia PD by $19 million.

Baltimore:

As consistently one of the most dangerous cities in America with a five-year streak of more than 300 murders, last year Baltimore set a new record at 348 homicides. Yet in 2020 they outpace last year’s record and will see defunding to the effect of $22 million.

As I said there are many more that I could highlight for you.

So why did all of these cities take such violent turns? Is it because their leadership capitulated to the anger of the mobs as opposed to thinking clearly and strategically about an effective response?

Or do these Democrat-run towns literally operate with denial in good and evil?

How else can you explain that in the city of Minneapolis (where a nation watched in horror and subsequently responded to the murder of an innocent man) that within 30 days they would record 1,600 shots fired? But then respond by voting to dismantle its police operations all together?

The single most important threat to our nation at this moment are Democrats who are voting in favor of eliminating law enforcement and who are by extension responsible for the greater and greater increase in the loss of life.

They are allowing Marxists and Anarchists to create complete chaos and disorder. They also seem utterly unconcerned about any lives mattering, black or white.

They appear to be holding on to an idea that they are not impacted by the scum and villainy at play under their jurisdiction.

They even perhaps believe that this is all worth it, if it will allow them to have electoral success in the fall.

WELL THEY ARE RIGHT IN HAVING ELECTORAL SUCCESS IN NOVEMBER. BIDEN WILL GET ELECTED THEN WITHIN 6 MONTHS HE WILL STEP DOWN AND HIS VP WOMAN OF WHATEVER WILL ASSUME THE OFFICE . BY THAT TIME AMERICA WILL BE ON THE BRINK OF TOTAL ECONOMIC AND SOCIETAL COLLAPSE WITH THE DEMOCRAT PARTY CHEERING IT ON. IN FACT I WOULD WAGER THAT IT WILL GET SO BAD WITH IN THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO THAT THE DEMOCRATS WILL INVITE IN FOREIGN
UN TROOPS TO SUPPOSEDLY RESTORE ORDER. SOUNDS NUTTY DON’T IT. BUT IT COULD VERY WELL HAPPEN, WE’LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.

And what do the squeaky wheel leftists want as a solution? Defund the police, which really means eliminate the police. They want social workers and mediators. Fine, send them in to stop a criminal armed with a sawed off pump action 10 gauge shotgun.

It’s tough running an asylum when it’s those who are on the outside that should be kept on the inside,

Chicago was much safer when Al Capone ran the place. He had crime under his strict control, what with bootlegging, extortion, etc.

Just keep your distance and mind your own business. His competitors would eat each other alive.
