67 shot, 13 fatally, over Fourth of July weekend in Chicago so far
13 people have been killed and 54 others wounded in shootings across Chicago so far over the Fourth of July weekend. Nine of the victims were minors, and two of the children died from their injuries. Mayor Lori Lightfoot tweeted,’We are making progress in slowing shootings, but we have to do better, every single one of us’. Investigations are ongoing.
Can we not make this a smear campaign, people died. The fact that people would want to use this to draw attention to yourself for internet clout makes me sick. Is it not enough that these families are hurt, and will never be able to celebrate a national holiday without the pain of such a loss that people have to go and make it a joke against or for whatever movements they like or dislike? Where is your humanity?
Local NBC has updated numbers as of 3pm Central time 16 dead, 67 more shot Total 83 shootings.. Several of the wounded are in critical condition.
Where are Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson when you need them? Oh right, no game or fortune to be had here. Well, that and it's dangerous... Just saying.
2 killed in South Carolina, gets more media coverage than 13 killed in Chicago.🤦♂️
