CHICAGO — July in Chicago ended as it began: Mourning the death of a child whose only mistake was venturing outside to play when someone armed with a gun came to the neighborhood hunting for an enemy.that revealed the month had been one of the deadliest in the history of the city, Police Superintendent David Brown repeated what has become a grim ritual of recounting the death of a child..
It has been a similar story in Boston. After recording 25 homicides in the first seven months of 2019, Boston had 35 during the same period this year. And 15 of those were during July. It was not immediately clear exactly how many children were homicide victims this year in Ohio, but in Columbus alone, the total stands at 13.
According to Philadelphia police, the city has seen a 36% increase in gun violence this year over last year. The number of people murdered through Sunday was 255, a 34% increase over last year, and more than the annual total for 2014, when 248 people were slain. According to a report published Monday in the Chicago Tribune, those five homicides are more than double the tally for children under 10 shot and killed than in any other year in the last eight years.
Chicago over recent yrs as taken nthe like of ' failed state' (not to frgt the days of ElliotNess) the crime under every mayor Nver dips. Thght under Lightfoot wld C a difference. But No. Who once lived there? Oprah / Michelle & Barack. Time for Billboards to people there?
Democrat run city.
Because children get caught in the crossfire of gang/turf warfare.
Wake up and join the real world! This isn’t an overnight sensation. It has basically been ignored by the msm for the past several years.
I think you mean to say gun homicide violence. 'Gun violence' usually means suicide right?
😥😥😥
Yea but the police are the bad guys right .... ?
Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the country and the most corrupt Democrat leadership. High crime rate; coincidence? I think not!
And where are the athletes taking a knee for that bad shit?
And yet we were told that there hasn’t been any mass shootings...there are mass shootings in Chicago every weekend...and people will still vote for Democrats because this is the world they want...
Sad 😥
Vote Republican. Don't let Democrats continue running cities with so much violence.
And who gave been the perpetrators?
Maybe it's solved by handing out free weapons to everybody
That’s so strange. Any indication what’s behind it?
Abolish the po po
Why the Fck aren’t MSM telling the real truth! Governors have lost control of their states and are seeing an increase of black on black crime some times doubling compared to year before!
The so called 'mostly peaceful' protests?
This is what you get when you don’t let police do there job.
TOOEdit Go Black People!!!
And no marches for the kids? Haven’t heard anything other than they’re being killed daily. Why aren’t the corporate networks going wall to wall with it?
And Democrats are attempting to defund the police
From somebody who's been seeing all of the crap your 'news' organization has been putting out I promise you, there is as much blood on your hands as anyone else. Y'all should be absutely ashamed and one day you will have to answer for stirring the pot.
Defund the Police isn't working out to well now is it? BackTheBlue
Definitely not correlated with the protests, police on the attack by the media and democrats.
Maybe if democratic leaders would stop releasing so many criminals this wouldn’t have occurred.
Democrats at work
I think removing even more police should fix this problem
'In Chicago...' There you go.
'Disturbing' is that what it is? 'Disturbing'?
SH**HOLE Country?
No police department needs combat Humvees and assault vehicles de Militarize them Now!
Guns are inanimate objects they’re not anything. People are violent.
I thought all of the confedrate statues that were removed was supposed to fix all of the problems, I guess it didn't
Democrat run 🤷♂️ Oh well
the AP and other media outlets have blood on their hands
TOOEdit Maybe BLM could take a break from rioting and protesting and address black on black violence. It’s so easy to always blame others.
Democrat ruin urban life. Fact.
LoL. You’re referring to Democrat gun violence. Yeah it’s indicative of democrat leadership. MAGA
What could be more demoralizing for the national conscience than our manufactured political culture that blithely chooses which bodies lying dead in the street best serve a partisan political narrative.
South Chicago was a thriving Black community. It's where a lot of US manufacturing took place. As Black people took over manufacturing and started moving to White suburbs factory jobs were shipped overseas leaving Black America in despair. Systematic racism caused outsourcing
All in Democrat run cities. Weird.
No one in the media is going to admit that these cities are all controlled by Democrats. These thugs (because that's what they are) who are committing these horrible crimes have no fear knowing that their public officials despise law enforcement. Perfect storm.
'a disturbing number of the victims have been children'? What number of children wouldn't be disturbing?
And radical dems want to take away your guns so you can't defend yourself and do away with cops...🙄 AIN'T HAPPENING!
Have the social worker been dispatched?
Liberals destroy everything
Riots cause police to use rough tactics, solution: Defund police. Crime increases from no police, solution: take guns away. Total breakdown of society, solution: communism.
This is what liberals get in return for supporting Antifa, defending the police and all other riots
The Americans should get more Ak47s, they deserve these guns!
KeithKochert murdered Abigail Williams and Liberty German AbbyandLibby DelphiMurders
'Black Lives Matter' ? Where are the demonstrations when a Gang Banger kills a Black child When a Black teenager dies from drugs sold by the drug dealer in her neighborhood Where is the outrage ? Where is 'Black Lives Matter'then Who is taking a knee for these dead children
All democrat run cities!!
The Marxist proletariat rule South Chicago. Why Mayor Lightfoot? ?
If I was a criminal what I would love to happen is the city passing a law to have guns banned. Then pass a law defunding the police. Then I would have it made....🙄
Now do any other city. Just once. You racis shit birds. cancelAP
Democrats don’t believe those black lives matter.
Democrat cities
The UN will invade Chicago
It's American gun culture for standard maintain like jihad culture by putting gun muslim countries
BLMprotestors are demanding to defund cops their protector With less options n less cops they can not protect the public Cops should be funded by d state top down not county by county Poor county gets rag tag morons in uniform
That’s what happens when you want to defund the police. Be careful what you ask for.
Black Lives M.... never mind.
I wonder why? 🤔
Tends to happen when you defund and try to make the police the villains. Enjoy your utopian love fest
Well, Trump remained president for that year, ergo !
And no this doesn’t prove that defunding the police is the wrong way to go, it confirms it.
that’s what happens when 40 million people suddenly lose their jobs
I’m not too worried. They’ll make more! The poor will endlessly breed & corrupt the gene pool.
CLM!!!!
Huh wonder why?
Democrat run cities
There are fast food employees that make more than some of the police officers in Chicago. If you want to see the future of defundthepolice, look no further than Chicago
I thought guns are not allowed in Chicago? Could it be the criminals are not obeying that law? Gee that’s not nice🤔
So let's actually tackle the issue of why this happens in minority and urban neighborhoods. Rather than just put more thug cops on the ground..
Employed people don’t riot (as much)
Hardship does that. And easy access to killing machines...
How many children have to be killed before it is “disturbing”? The issue in Chicago is the local government. Stick a republican in for 2 years and it’s fixed.
Chicago would rather shakedown Vape companies for “marketing to kids” than actually protect their kids from a real threat.
Huh. Who would have thought an administration destroying our economy, ravaging our planet, killing our friends and family, and stoking a civil war could make us so trigger happy?
Lives don’t matter
When you allow people to riot, loot, and burn, don't be shocked when they also murder....
So Sad... Noooooo Not The Children 😭💔
it's only violent in the black lives matter neighborhoods. it's still pretty safe in the all lives matter neighborhoods.
Even in a pandemic we manage to shoot each other... Murca!!!
😔
but defund the police 😜
Many liberal cities.
Must be the guns fault again..
