Yup, REAL progress! Only THIRTEEN bodies in the streets?
Black lives don't matter to blacks -- only to mudsharks...

Chicago Mayor Lightfoot: 'We're Making Progress' After 13 Bodies Lie Dead in
the Street

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot tweeted out a hopeful message following the
shooting death of a 7-year-old girl in the city’s Austin neighborhood.
Fox News: “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.”
Progress, madam? I got your “progress” right here.
Chicago Sun-Times: "Thirteen people have been killed and 54 others wounded
in shootings across Chicago so far over the Fourth of July weekend."
Nine of the weekend’s victims were minors, and two of the children died from
their injuries.
If 67 people were hit by bullets, how many shots were actually fired? The
gunfire on Chicago’s streets must sound to those who served like they were
back in Baghdad or Mogadishu.
Fox News: "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, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
The girl 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."
I can remember when 8 people getting shot in the same incident made national
headlines. But two separate incidents of mass casualties in one weekend? it’s
just another night in Chicago.
A 14-year-old boy was among four people killed in a shooting that wounded
four others Saturday night in Englewood on the South Side.
They were at a large gathering in the street about 11:35 p.m. in the 6100
block of South Carpenter Street when four males walked up and started
shooting, according to Chicago police. The 14-year-old boy was hit in the
back and pronounced dead at Comer Children’s Hospital.
Three other male victims were pronounced dead, two at the scene and one at
the University of Chicago Medical Center, police said. Their ages were not
immediately known.
This wasn’t a drive-by shooting. It was a walk-up crime. No need to hurry up
and get away. No cops to worry about.
You want to grab Lori Lightfoot by the shoulders and shake her until it
registers: “Your city is bleeding to death and you’ve got to do something!”
Would it hurt some of your supporters’ feelings if you brought in the
National Guard? Probably. And residents certainly won’t like it very much.
Activists will scream bloody murder. Newspapers and media commentary will
string you up and you will be hung in effigy.
But your city will be safer. And maybe it will save the lives of a few
children.
