Two 2-years-olds among at least 47 shot across Chicago over holiday weekend

At least 47 people were shot across Chicago over the holiday weekend — including three teenagers and two toddlers.

I’m only shocked there still has been no word from NAACP announcing a travel advisory for Chicago. This looks like a very dangerous place.

It's shameful when even a criminal is shot by police the Black community takes to the streets with fist in the air but this kind of unimaginable violence takes place, children being murdered, and all you have is an exasperated preacher expressing his sadness. Anyone seen or heard from the violence interrupters?

47 shot over the weekend?
Thats called... a slow weekend.

I just canceled my trip to Chicago for August weekend air show. Not worth taking a risk. Nowhere in Chicago is safe. And teens may be wilding in downtown around my hotel at night. $1, 000 saved for something better to do.

Well you people better trained your 2 year olds better on gun control, how they going to be carjacking in robbing the neighbors if they don't know which end of the gun to hold

Where were the 30 peace keepers Brandon deployed?

Normality in culture .. acceptable in society, but same will continue .
No consequences for Same O thugs doing this .

Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. Banning guns from law abiding citizens is not the answer. Criminals don't follow the laws. All you doing is taking people's right to defend themselves.

Such a vibrant display of black culture

*Why aren't these shooting ever discussed on "The View"?*

[tonyalways]

As a Brit all I can ask is at what point, if any, are Chicagoans going to stop voting do-nothing grifters into power as Mayor, Councilmen and representatives and instead start demanding a clean up?

[PMofKhanadah]

Oh, so a mostly peaceful weekend for Chitown. That must be nice for a change.

Chicago starting to look like Rwanda in the 90’s. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[patrickrabion]

I’m moving from Shitcago to Haiti, where it’s safer. Plus, they have great beaches!!

Just another weekend in Chicago. Considering the majority of this is black on black crime is disappointing that BLM doesn’t get involved.

[jdantigua]

Mayor Johnson MUST go to the crime neighborhood and personally meet with parents and tell them that if you need a better life, you must move to a safer place. Also tell hem that they must know where their children and loved ones are at all times. Lastly, must insist that parents and family members tell the truth so that their loved ones stop the killing.

[badguy]

I'm kinda siding with the people who want to eliminate police in Chicago. If this level of killings continues, in those Black neighborhoods, who knows, maybe the "problem" will just fix itself?

[johndaugherty]

And how many people were arrested? Just imagine what the numbers could be if they were better shots? What kind of a "family" lets 2 year olds have access to handguns?
