CHICAGO (CBS) — At least 11 children were wounded in shootings this weekend, when a total of at least 26 people were shot across the city, four of them fatally.
Most of the child victims of gun violence between Friday afternoon and early Monday morning were teenagers, including three girls who were wounded in a mass shooting in the Parkway Gardens neighborhood on Friday night.(snip)
Mayor Lori Lightfoot sent out a scathing series of tweets Saturday night, saying “adults are failing these children.”
“As a city, we have a fundamental obligation to ensure the safety of our children so that they can pursue their dreams and live a life free from violence. Each and every one of us needs to step up and play a role in fulfilling that commitment,” Lightfoot wrote.

Let’s just go back to blaming “institutional racism,” poverty, and Trump. It worked so well in past....
How many of these “children” were gangsters?
They’re probably all 16-19 y/o dudes with kids of their own.
Have they considered gun control? Oh.
Democrats are racist, because the totally ignore the black genocide that is occurring in the inner cities. A school of white kids get shot up? They bitch and moan for months. Some black kids on the streets of Chicago get killed at a far, far higher rate than school shooting? Not a peep. Screw those racist hypocrites.

Unless they are shot by a white person. Or a (white) cop.
Then watch out!
More Violent White nationalists wreaking havoc with guns in Chicago I presume?
