Five children were among the 14 people killed, including a 3-year-old boy and 13-year-old girl killed in separate shootings in Austin on Saturday.

People need to study the old west a bit and law enforcement during that time. Judge Isaac C. Parker was appointed to the bench for the U.S. Court for the Western District of Arkansas and served there for 21 years. Prior to his appointment to that bench outlaws would rob and kill in various states and then flee to the Indian Territory in Oklahoma where local sheriffs had no jurisdiction. These were hardened and vicious criminals. U.S. Marshals had the only authority there and Judge Parker was placed in charge of the judicial system and deputizing Marshals to go into the Indian Territory to arrest and bring back to Ft. Smith, AR for trial and sentencing. He eventually cleaned up the outlaw problem but it took stern justice to accomplish it. Hangings and lengthy prison sentences were handed out.

"I have ever had the single aim of justice in view... 'Do equal and exact justice,' is my motto, and I have often said to the grand jury, 'Permit no innocent man to be punished, but let no guilty man escape.'"
-Judge Isaac C. Parker, 1896

Good start lets see what 4th July brings

What I find interesting is that the article makes no mention of the race of the victims or suspected shooters. It took the media about 1/2 second to point out George Floyd was black and shot by a white officer, same with the Atlanta shooting. Highly likely the majority of victims were African-American, and the perps as well. So much for unbiased reporting that doesn't fit their agenda.

290 so far in 2020.

Using the filter........over 400 killed in 2019

hahaha You win post of the month.

Media to busy promoting destruction and killing of a criminal by police to consider a relatively unimportant murder of two children. Sad.

A rational person would thus have to conclude that, obviously, black lives really don't matter in Chicago. As long as the killer is black, no one protests, riots or objects.

Why is that?

Seems like a rational conclusion and reasonable question to me?

Actually I hate shootings. There seems to be some that think Police should be defunded/disbanded and these posts point out the utter folly of that idea.

There is also a big focus on Police killing unarmed people but the numbers show this problem is miniscule compared to people killing unarmed people, children, even babies. We have a crime problem, not a Police brutality problem.

If I was black would be a lot more worried that another black would kill me for no reason than the police doing so.

Instead lets go tear down a statue tonight.

Just makes me shake my head.

some groups never place the blame where it belongs and know it.
