Most of the news coverage has been regarding a single killer in an upscale neighborhood that isn’t even in Chicago, but is an independent city 25 miles north of Chicago. But what happened in Chicago?

From NBC News Chicago: “Nine people have been shot and killed in Chicago over the Fourth of July weekend in Chicago. They are among at least 57 people shot, according to police. Last year, 19 people were killed and more than 100 people were shot over the long Fourth of July weekend.”

Note that this DOES NOT include the people shot in Highland Park. This is just Chicago. And this year was much better than last year. If you read the whole list of what happened, it seems to be a lot of thugs going around shooting people. Why doesn’t this get the same coverage? And then when law enforcement tries to arrest these shooters, lots of people complain that it was police brutality.
