63 people were shot, 16 fatally between 6 p.m. Friday and 11:59 p.m. Sunday.
Three of those fatal shootings victims were minors, police said.


The KILLINGS CONTINUE - Syria? Iraq? Afghanistan? Yemen?

NOPE>>> Chicago

I was born/raised in the city - B on B violence has always been a very sad problem.
BUT...now - inner city Chicago USA is our Kabul Afghanistan.

Every week - new records of killings. Every week, virtual silence, esp by Minority Leaders. Where are THEY? Oh yeah - at Black Lives Matter rallies. Yeah - BLM if a law enforcement officer is involved. If it's their gangs or bros, shhhh. Hard to believe that so many of our minority people need to live (or die) in crime-ridden areas as that. One solution = Defund Police. That should do it.

WHEN will this unbelievable issue get the Media notoriety and Community action it deserves? until then...shhhh.

The world we live in, ok to kill your neighbors but if one cop does something wrong the world explodes

No one, especially the media, wants to acknowledge the actual problem.

And the weekend isn't even over yet..

One of many reasons BLM is a joke.


Now we have Red LM, Yellow LM.


Divide, Divide, Divide.


:ohdear:

A reasonable conclusion, based on your data, is that Black lives really don't matter if it's black on black crime in Chicago.

Does anyone think that conclusion is "racist?" Be interested to hear why if that's the case.

...

And in South Carolina. No mention of race but there was a popular rapper everyone came out to see in violation of the state's Covid rules, so I'm guessing it wasn't an NRA get together..
2 dead, 8 injured in nightclub shooting

Here is something Jesse Jackson said, “There is nothing more painful to me … than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery, then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”

Quote by Jesse Jackson: “There is nothing more painful to me at this sta...”

There have been dozens and dozens of threads started by a cadre of people on totv, all pointing to the deaths in Chicago or other cities under the category of black on black crime. Here is another thread on the same theme. Claiming that BLM is a joke, that their focus is in the wrong place that if they cared about Black lives they'd do something about Chicago.

BLM has a very specific focus. It was founded to shine a light on violence by the government against their community. The organization is not there to investigate street crime. There is a police force to do that. But there was seemingly no one holding police accountable for their actions. In fact it was apparent to many there was a blue wall of silence where cops didn't break the code of silence. Their omerta.

From one of the BLM websites [there is no single BLM organization it is not centralized but is local chapters loosely working to the same goal]

Black Lives Matter began as a call to action in response to state-sanctioned violence and anti-Black racism. Our intention from the very beginning was to connect Black people from all over the world who have a shared desire for justice to act together in their communities. The impetus for that commitment was, and still is, the rampant and deliberate violence inflicted on us by the state.

When criminal commit crimes that is a police issue. When police commit crimes that is a whole different problem. It is the abuse of force by those sworn to protect and serve that is the focus, and a necessary focus as evidenced by so many videos now widely seen, that some police are using excessive force. There was just another case where 2 cops tasered a victim to death. Over 50 shocks were given. In this case their victim was a white naked male who per news reports never made an aggressive move toward the cops, who violated department policy in this murder.

BML is shining a light on the ugly dark truth that there are cops who are poorly trained, who are bullies, who don't belong on the force, who are racists. Many, not all, of the victims of these bad cops have been POC. Holding the state responsible for actions of the state is the mission of BLM. Lots of organizations have narrow missions even when there are larger problems. Is the American Cancer Society bad because it ignores that more people die from heart disease? Is the Komen foundation bad because more women die from lung cancer than breast cancer?

BLM is focused on one issue in the Black community. Deaths and violence caused by the state. All it takes is some good cops to stop the bad ones. Even if the good cops get punished by the system.

You lose me when you neglect to point that one of the biggest wants of blm is defunding police.

If blm would support family values of blacks that would be a lot more helpful imho.

Not to mention if you dont want to do time dont do the crime.

Less criminal activity less encounters with the police

wow

All very noble sounding except ...

1. Blacks commit more crimes that whites per capita, hence they have more interactions with police.

2. More blacks are killed by blacks, by far, that rogue or racist cops

3. BLM is basically a front for cultural Marxism and the strategic objective IMO is to replace the "culture of 1776" with the "culture of 1619."

BLM co-founder describes herself as 'trained Marxist'

4. In other words, BLM and their white-guilt liberal supporters, generally speaking, hate America as founded and are determined to change it or torch it depending on the level of adventurousness, age and inclination to break the law.

That's why they topple not just Confederate statues but also Columbus, Lincoln, Grant, abolitionists, Francis Scott Key etc etc etc. In other words, anything that's tied to Western Civilization. One of the BLM leaders stated about a week ago the "white Jesus and his European Mother" need to go or words to that effect.


This is not that hard to figure out.

BLM movement started after Trayvon Martin got shot while beating Zimmerman's head against the pavement. Jury ruled not guilty on all counts after the evidence was revealed.

Then they got on the "hands up don't shoot" bandwagon which turned out to be a complete lie. This is when BLM shot to national fame. Brown wasn’t surrendering and didn’t say don’t shoot. And he wasn’t a victim of police misconduct. Rather than the “Gentle Giant” he was portrayed at in the media, he sucker punched Wilson while Wilson sat in his police car, tried to grab Wilson’s service pistol, and was shot when he charged Wilson a second time.

A jury may convict some Police of something in Floyd's case, we'll have to see when all the evidence is produced and a jury sees it. We don't convict people in this country solely from videos.

State sponsored racism or violence towards blacks is not systemic, its a miniscule problem compared to black crime statistics and black on black violence. Those problems are truly systemic and are caused by blacks themselves.

The media will convict on videos or apple pies or anything that promotes its agenda

Well said

OMG. Scarey thought if you actually believe what you just posted. Expand your knowledge and see what BLM is really about!

I agree that the actions of rogue cops needs to be addressed. There are many sociopaths carrying guns with the sole intent to shoot someone. Sadly, some of them are cops. However there is a two-headed snake at work here. Out of control youth, whether they be white, black, brown or yellow. They are looting, because now they can. They are killing each other and collateral innocents because now they can. They have no fear, no respect, no family values and no self respect. Parents have lost control and have no idea about how to regain it. If anything is systemic, this is where it started - absentee parents.

Same old
 

Group doing the most complaining doing the most killing , but hey, easy because they can blame the problems on others. I say hone those shooting skills and lock and load,

Thin the herd

Maybe they should just let them keep shooting each other. Blacks, Whites, Antifa, BLM....ALL of them. Let them thin the herd to a manageable level. Just try to protect all the kids.

Say their names, Mainstream Media!

Maybe he's a realist,and not a racist

Who was it that said something like “If you kill thousands it’s a statistic but if you kill one it’s a tragedy”

The actual problem may be it’s to easy to get a gun.

Let them Kill each other, Thats OK !!!!!!!

And single motherhood.

From one who lived there for 63 years
 

After living in Chicago for 63 years I’d say I have a 1st hand perspective. Everyone think back to when we were young. In the 1950’s, 60’s and early 70’s the family unit consisted of a Mom, Dad, Kids. People for the most part were respectful of each other no matter the race. Was there problems? Sure. I would say I first noticed the change when Martin Luther King was assassinated. It ripped America apart. Big time rioting and looting in big cities. Fast forward to the Rodney King incident in LA, again the rioting and looting was so bad the president at that time called out the US military to bring things under control. Racial tensions in this country have never been worse. Say what you want, believe what you want but organizations like Black Lives Matter, white supremacy groups, etc, divide us instead of bringing us together. There are many anarchists today who hide behind a cause and are ripping this country apart. The black community needs to take a hard look at itself, black leaders need to speak up if we expect this country to heal.

Don’t forget ....... P.L.M.

No, the actual problem is violent people. A gun is not a demonic talisman that changes a choirboy into a violent animal with the urge to kill everyone. That urge to kill is already there in the heart of the killer. When society acknowledges this and works to solve that problem, the number killings will drop.
Claiming guns are responsible for shootings is like saying a spoon is responsible for people being fat.

So defunding the police helps their movement? Contradictory much!

...well, I'd guess it was just a matter of time - someplace, somewhere.
A U.S. City official breaks the ice and finally... (from Mayor of Atlanta)>


ATLANTA Published 8 hours agoLast Update 11 mins ago
Atlanta mayor calls for citizens to stop 'shooting each other' after murder of 8-year-old near BLM protest site

Bottoms, a Democrat who is considered a potential running mate for Joe Biden, made the remarks as she fought through tears -- and the nation endured a new bout of urban carnage. Sixty-three people were injured and 17 killed in Chicago, including two children, over the weekend; and in New York City, 44 were hurt and at least six killed.

“Enough is enough," Bottoms said. "Enough is enough. We have talked about this movement that's happening across America and this moment in time when we have the ears and the interests of people across this country and across this globe who are saying they want to see change. But the difference in this moment in time with the civil rights movement -- in the civil rights movement, there was a defined, common enemy. We're fighting the enemy within when we are shooting each other up on our streets."

She continued: "You shot and killed a baby. And there wasn’t just one shooter; there were at least two shooters. An 8-year-old baby. If you want people to take us seriously, and you don't want us to lose this movement, then we can't lose each other."

"It has to stop," Bottoms added, according to FOX 5 Atlanta. "You can't blame this on police officers. It's about people who shot a baby in a car. We're doing each other more harm than any officer on this force."

Victim's father: 'They say Black Lives Matter. You killed your own'

"They say Black Lives Matter. You killed your own," Williamson said. "They killed my baby because she crossed a barrier and made a U-turn? You killed a child. She didn't do nothing to nobody. Black Lives Matter? You killing your own. You killed an 8-year-old child. She ain't did nothing to no one of y'all. She just wanted to get home to see her cousin. That's all she wanted to do."

......................
Now - will this sadness be taken seriously, especially by the News Media and Minority Leaders?

Personally I thought it was a fork but learn something new every day.

I have no problem with people owning guns, sure have lots of people around here owning firearms but do believe it should come with some sort of background check.

AND... they want to defund the POLICE....................... you must be joking.. sure most was B on B crime......

BLM except to BLM. If saving Black lives is important to them why no protest at abortion clinics. 2018 there was over 118,000 black woman that had abortions, nothing to gain by that.
and the fact that there was more white unarmed people killed by police then black unarmed people but nothing to see there either, keep moving.

Not always the case...many stops are unwarranted or "mistaken identity".

The easiest way to get a gun is to steal it: that’s why criminals will always have guns. It’s much harder for a law abiding citizen like myself to get a gun yet the law abiding citizen is always the one the politicians go after. If they would just enforce the laws on the books and put some teeth in the sentencing for felons with guns and using a gun to commit a crime it may put a dent in the problem. Chicago has always had tough gun laws and look at the murder rate. These aren’t people getting guns legally.

BLM Purpose
 

Thanks for the party line. Watching TV and reading the news papers one would certainly get the idea their purpose was rioting, looting, arson and theft. Glad you cleared that up for us.

Denmark trains its police for 3 years. Other European countries train for years. The US has the least training to become a Policeperson of any major country. In Norway, the Police walk the streets and engage in mostly social service. Their prisons are like country resorts. They allow the guards and prisoners to interact socially. One prison allows the prisoners to for rock groups that entertain on the radio. Sounds opposite to the US. Funny thing, their recidivism statistics are very low. Much lower than in the US. Google it for all the Scandinavian countries.

How awful to witness the hateful words that come out of your mouths. I get saddened every time I read a comment from a reasonable and humble person and the wolf pack like attack that follows it.
Go outside and enjoy the sun and meditate as to “just one” good deed you could do today, it’ll make you a better and happier person.
God bless you all, have a good day!!

Yes, social problems are systemic. Therefore, we need more sociologists and psychologists for school-age children. Our prison-industrial complex takes young criminals and makes them adult HARDENED criminals-We need to look to the Japanese and European prison systems for guidance-then we need ACTION to change them!
