MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Police in Milwaukee arrested a second person in a shooting in which six people, including the two alleged shooters, were wounded right after a Juneteenth celebration wrapped up.

A Facebook Live video of the aftermath showed paramedics treating people with gunshot wounds on the pavement of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, where thousands of people had filled the street for the city’s Juneteenth festival just 20 minutes earlier.

It was one of many shootings that took place across the country over a bloody holiday weekend.

“It’s just freaking heartbreaking. We have to do better as parents. We have to do better as adults in the community,” Democratic Gov. Tony Evers said Tuesday.

“on the pavement of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive,”

Stay away from anything ‘Martin Luther King jr.’

Funny, the Irish don’t shoot each other up on St. Patrick’s Dasy. The Italians don’t murder each other on Columbus Day. The English set off fireworks but don’t blow each other up on Guy Fawkes’ Day. What’s the difference with these “schwartzes”?

"Juneteenth" "Martin Luther King Jr. Drive"

The stories write themselves.

Avoiding any location named after Martin Luther King, Jr will have to be added to Derbyshire's Rules and Scott Adams piece.

Just more BLM gatherings in honor of their great, great grand pappy LBJ who made everything possible.

Thousands killed every year in AA “event” shootings, but Biden insists “white supremacists” are the biggest threat in America. I guess Biden “forgot” that the Black community is part of America. Obviously he cares more about scoring political points than stopping mass slaughter.

Poor folks. They need to carry weapons and not vote for anyone against that.
