20-month-old child killed in drive-by shooting, Chicago rocked by worst weekend of gun violence this year

47

The police fatally shot nine unarmed blacks and 19 unarmed whites in 2019. And the world burned.

But this, not so much as one protest sign.

93% of Black murder victims were killed by Blacks.

SPIKE IN BIG-CITY SHOOTINGS A BAD OMEN FOR THIS SUMMER, EXPERTS WARN

Chicago drive-by shooting kills 20-month-old child: ‘When is this going to stop?’

After shooting, police chief asks, “When are we going to say enough is enough?”

Chicago rocked by worst weekend of gun violence this year

With at least 100 people shot and more than a dozen killed across the city, what needs to be done to stop the violence? Pastor Corey Brooks weighs in.

Shots fired from one vehicle into another on a Chicago street killed a 20-month-old boy sitting in his car seat, according to reports.

The drive-by shooting Saturday afternoon in the Englewood neighborhood marked the second time in a week a young child had become an innocent victim of Chicago’s tragic gun violence.

“It seems like just yesterday, it was actually last Saturday, I was in front of you all talking about a 3-year-old that was killed in the Austin community, and now here in Englewood, a 20-month-old was killed,” Chicago Police Chief of Operations Fred Waller said, according to CBS 2 Chicago.

“This is happening far too often,” he said. “Too many times children are killed by senseless violence, and not only just children but grownups also. When is this going to stop? When are we going to say enough is enough?”

A 3-year-old boy, Mekhi James, was also the victim of a drive-by shooting. He was sitting in a car his father was driving when he was struck.

Police said the toddler was shot in the chest. A bullet grazed his 22-year-old mother in the head.

They were driving home from a laundromat.

Seven shots were fired at her vehicle, according to police.

Detectives believe the boy’s mother may have been targeted, the station reported.

Waller said detectives were working “feverishly” to review video footage from nearby cameras, and to canvass the area for witnesses.

“No doubt we’ll catch the person who did it. We’ll catch the person who killed that 3-year-old. We’ll catch the person who killed this kid. But that’s not going to bring that kid back, and that’s not going to satisfy that family,” Waller said.

18 murders in 24 hours: Inside the most violent day in 60 years in Chicago

‘We’ve never seen anything like it at all,’ said Max Kapustin, the senior research director at the University of Chicago Crime Lab.

By Tom Schuba, Sam Charles, and Matthew Hendrickson, Chicago Sun Times Jun 8, 2020:

A hardworking father killed just before 1 a.m.

A West Side high school student murdered two hours later.

A man killed amid South Side looting at a cellphone store at 12:30 p.m.

A college freshman who hoped to become a correctional officer, gunned down at 4:25 p.m. after getting into an argument in Englewood.

While Chicago was roiled by another day of protests and looting in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, 18 people were killed Sunday, May 31, making it the single most violent day in Chicago in six decades, according to the University of Chicago Crime Lab. The lab’s data doesn’t go back further than 1961.

From 7 p.m. Friday, May 29, through 5 a.m. Monday, June 1, 25 people were killed in the city, with another 85 wounded by gunfire, according to data maintained by the Chicago Sun-Times.

In a city with an international reputation for crime — where 900 murders per year were common in the early 1990s — it was the most violent weekend in Chicago’s modern history, stretching police resources that were already thin because of protests and looting.

“We’ve never seen anything like it at all,” said Max Kapustin, the senior research director at the crime lab. “I don’t even know how to put it into context. It’s beyond anything that we’ve ever seen before.”

The next highest murder total for a single day was on Aug. 4, 1991, when 13 people were killed in Chicago, according to the crime lab.

Change.org Remove Petition to Fire ‘White Lives Don’t Matter’
Prof After 20,000+ Signatures

JACK MONTGOMERY 28 Jun 2020

A petition to fire Cambridge professor Priyamvada Gopal, who was promoted after tweeting that “White Lives Don’t Matter. As white lives”, has been removed by Change.org after receiving over 20,000 signatures.

Professor Gopal posted her provocative “White Lives Don’t Matter. As white lives” message around the same time as Burnely Football Club supporter Jake Hepple had a banner reading “White Lives Matter Burnley!” flown over a match at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, shortly after three white people were stabbed to death in Reading, England.

Hepple was fired for the stunt, with Blackpool Airport and the local government authority which operates it also saying they were “outraged” by the banner and branding its message “offensive”.

Professor Gopal, meanwhile boasted that the University of Cambridge — which defended her right to express “lawful opinion”, although it has previously cut ties with academics attacked by left-liberal mobs — had actually promoted her after the controversy around her tweet.

More than 20,000 people had signed a Change.org petition calling for her to be fired for what it described as “racist and hateful” statements — before it was taken down.

Professor Gopal has taken a combative posture throughout the ongoing controversy, insisting “I stand by my tweets, now deleted by Twitter, not me”.

Cambridgeshire Constabulary have indicated that it is their position that Professor Gopal’s tweet, specifically, “does not constitute an offence” — but they are “investigating all reports into the racist and threatening abuse that Professor Gopal has suffered”.

Not a Dem run city that is not in the crapper. I should be a paid consultant. The crime rate will definately go up with sanctuary cities, defunded cops, fewer cops, cops without non lethal means to control a crowd. I.e. Batons and teargas. No stop and frisk laws, BLM running amok, un controlled borders and last but not least: Democrats running cities or much anything else.

The black-on-black murders will continue and the modern-day plantation residents will still vote for the Democrat party as they suffer from the Stockholm Syndrome. The same is true for all the Democrat controlled hell holes.

Black lives matter only when police are involved. And it doesn’t matter if the life taken was a career criminal or not. Isaiah 5:20 “Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil…….”
5:23 “Which justify the wicked for reward and take away the righteousness of the righteous from
him.”
Mark 8:15 “…..Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herold.”
8:18 ” Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not…”

In Chicago, BLACK BABIES LIVES DO NOT MATTER
Mayor Lori Lightfoot knows this. Barack Obama knows this. Joe Biden knows this. Nancy Pelosi knows this. Chuck Schumer knows this. Adam Schiff knows this. Juan Williams knows this. Don Lemon knows this.

YET, not one of them says anything or does anything because the filthy stinking truth is THEY DON’T CARE.
They own the Black vote and they feel nothing but contempt for uneducated inner city Blacks. Always have. Always will.

How many black lives will the Demokkkrats sacrifice on their plantation

… in their effort to destroy us?

All of them of course.

If you want to kill blacks – support Demokkkrats, promote Burn Loot Murder, and vote Demokkkrat …

If you’re not a systemic racist and a bigot … support conservatives, resist Burn Loot Murder, and vote as conservative as you can.

Shut down the roads leading into Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, LA. No one in or out. Then the Blue Flu added to the mix. Wait one or two weeks and let the residents work it out. I’m certain the survivors will rethink their idiotic dream of a policeless state when the roads are open and the police return.

These ‘protests’ were never about justice or racial inequality.
.
This was simply another excuse employed by those unwilling to take responsibility for their own lives.
.
This was about blaming others for their own failures.
.
This was about wanting more from those who can while doing less by those who won’t.

The BLM people are out doing important stuff like tearing down statues, burning and looting to look after the terrible truth about many black life realities in the US. BLM stands for Burn, Loot, Mayhem and you could substitute Murder if you’re in the Chicago area.

Demonstrations (?) like this are just aimed at attempting Trump from winning the election. Why else go crazy like this with just over 120 days to the election?

Do they really care that Floyd died at the hands of a sadistic bastard? No. If they did where are the protests regarding black on black killing (93%), or the executions of black police officers.

Its all in the timing. This is what people will be thinking mostly due to a leftist media who what Trump out poisoning the minds of US citizens, claiming him to be racist.
