At Least 70 Shot, 14 Dead by Sunday Night over July 4th Weekend in Chicago
Breitbart ^ | July 5, 2020 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 07/05/2020 7:16:19 PM PDT by maggief

Over 70 people have been shot, at least 14 of them fatally, by Sunday night over the Fourth of July weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that 74 were shot, 14 fatally, by 6:45 p.m. Central Time on July 5, 2020.

The Chicago Tribune reported the numbers as 80 shot, 17 fatally, by 5:29 p.m. July 5.

The fatalities included a seven-year-old Natalia Wallace, who was “shot in the head around 7 p.m. Saturday in the South Austin neighborhood while outside at a family gathering.”

A 14-year-old boy was among four victims fatally shot later Saturday night in Englewood, and their deaths come one weekend after a one-year-old and ten-year-old were shot dead in Lightfoot’s Chicago.

Rewrite of headline:
Quiet weekend in Chicago. Mostly peaceful. Murders down sharply.

Hey, only 70 shot, right? Millions live there. Look on the bright side.

Blacks Do Not Care about Black Lives

They only wait for a non-black to kill a black, in self defense or not, to make a fuss

Otherwise they act like it never happened

Wish we had strong black families again

What we have now is savage animal behavior

No worries for Larry Lightfoot. She has several “MSM free pass cards”.

"Soros-paid AGs just let criminals go to do it again."

Is there a list of AGs that Soros has bought into office so that an eye can be kept on them?

And so it goes in black Lesbian Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago. She got elected by promising police patrols in black neighborhoods. Didn’t follow through, but they’ll reelected because she’s a black democrat who blames Trump for everything.,

I like heyjackass.com. Big change from when I lived in a Chicago suburb decades ago. We had a black man named Tom who came out to our suburban home to help my Dad with household repairs, and even donned a dinner jacket and served drinks at our parties. Nice fellow. My dad drove him home to his Southside home where he lived with his lovely wife and six kids.
