What’s changed in Chicago since
Al Capone? Nothing at all except the people committing the crim and murders.

Sad that they do not care. Much bigger problem than their problems with police.

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

Here is a photo of the 8 year old girl-murdered. So sad. Where is the outrage of the Media, BLM, etc etc? "selective" sadness & outrage I guess. Yet the latest of a VERY long list of B-on-B Murders in our cities, but what do we hear? shhh. Horrible.

Sad when a thug gets shot and the media is up in arms but a cute little girl minding her own business is murdered the media could care less.

Where is lebron James when the little children need him. These so called sports stars could have a great impact. I’m sure some do, but others only care about their agenda. So sad! The term legacy with these people is a joke!

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!!

Chicago has always been down the hill!

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.

It’s just not Chicago. It’s KCMO, NYC area, St. Louis, Orlando, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Ect... about every major cities. The above has been bad for 50 plus years. Basically the agenda is to stop policing so illegal activities won’t be pursued. Basically 3rd world law and disorder like Mexico.

Please stop the violence.

[diane reynolds]

How would you fix the situation?

[mrrmauu]

What I would like to know is why is this happening? What is the difference between Chicago and Columbia Maryland (one of the safest cities)? Can we learn what Columbia is doing and apply it in Chicago? Or perhaps it’s not the cities policies and maybe it’s something else?

Eight years of the previous administration run by a citizen of Chicago who for those eight years failed to address the problem.

The same goes to all these "social justice warriors" who walk around wearing black shirts and dribble a basketball.

No money in it. It's about money, also about notoriety. Best to report on white vs black then black vs white or white vs white or black vs black. Keep the ratings up fan the fires of civil disrest. Sponsors of news stations control the masses, manipulation by selective aggravation of our lives. No lives only matter when news stations can make money off of them. It's business not personal!

Lightfoot and her administration hasn’t addressed this problem other than say its wrong.
