Why don't the black lives matter gang protest the Chicago murders. Don't black on black murders count?

Every day - every weekend. Shootings, carnage, killings. Chicago and other cities in USA.

56 shot, 8 fatally over Labor Day weekend in Chicago

Where is the OUTRAGE? Very little media coverage or outcries for action. Civic Leaders, shhhh. Police, paralyzed. Gangs, out of control. Minority Leaders, where?


An 8-year-old girl killed in a drive-by shooting was one of 53 people shot in Chicago over holiday weekend - CNN

It's just sad how the city has gone downhill and I've no desire (nor reason) to return.

And yes, where's the outrage? One forum I was reading had a comment that the wagering "over/under" for Chicago shootings is 50 for every weekend - and that you should always take the over!!

This is the problem in America's big cities. George Floyd and BLM is certainly an issue and the police need policing (sad to say that too), but you're right - where's the outrage by our leadership (politicans, athletes, activists, religious, whoever) over the huge numbers of people being crime victims. It's not even talked about!!

There's no outrage because it wouldn't be politically expedient.

I saw that a white guy killed a Black cop last week and not a peep from Black Lives Matter.

It's only a problem if it can be used to further their agenda.

Murders have been going on in Chicago for years. There is especially a high murder rate of Black people. But suddenly, it's President Trump's fault.

All of these protests, rioting etc are only happening for political purposes.

Eight years of the previous administration run by a citizen of Chicago who for those eight years failed to address the problem. If this individual would fly from Martha's vineyard and spend his free time "peacefully" helping his hometown, perhaps something positive could have been accomplished. The same goes to all these "social justice warriors" who walk around wearing black shirts and dribble a basketball.
