The Democrat-run city of Chicago experienced a nightmarish weekend with over 100 citizens being shot over the 4th of July holiday.
Several teens were shot during the violent weekend, and an eight-year-old boy was killed.
Chicago Superintendent Larry Snelling discussed the shootings, telling the community, “We have to really stop and think about the mindset of someone who will shoot a child, a helpless child an unarmed mother and think that that’s okay. And go about their days. Those people have to be taken off the street. They have to be put away if we’re not doing that. Then we’re failing other families.”
Snelling was likely attacking the city’s far-left, Soros-backed district attorney Kim Foxx for allowing many repeat offenders back onto the streets.
Democrat Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said, “Black death has been unfortunately accepted in this country for a very long time. Let’s tell the full story of how we got here because if you skip a chapter, it won’t give us the ability to actually make the proper adjustments so that we can ensure that stronger and safer becomes a reality.”
“These are not just numbers on pages, these are not just headlines in the news,” Mayor Johnson added. “No, these are our fellow Chicagoans, our neighbors, family members, who’ve lost their lives.”
ABC 7 Chicago detailed one shooting after another in a Monday article.
Overall, 24 “mass shootings” took place in the city during the holiday weekend.
Two deceased victims, 45-year-old Neekshia Strong and 24-year-old Capri Edwards, were “shielding children from gunfire on Independence Day,” according to FOX 32 Chicago.
Three boys, aged 5, 8 and 8, were struck during the shooting that killed Strong and Edwards, with one of the boys also dying.
A one-year-old child was in the home where Strong and Edwards were killed, but was miraculously not injured by the gunfire.
Democrats will undoubtedly use the unnecessary deaths to call for more gun control despite the fact the leftist city already has some of the strictest laws in the nation.
The tragic weekend comes just one month ahead of Chicago hosting the 2024 Democratic National Convention, which is perfectly fitting for the corrupt anti-American political party.
