This has been happening at these "celebrations" for years. Why are they continued?

[mygamecomputer]

Hold on a minute, are you telling me a bunch of POC gathered together and that resulted in gunplay? Why, that’s unimaginable!

[RamAlambaDingDong]

Geez... name streets after their Civil RIghts hero, give them a whole month AND a federal holiday and they still cant act right

[proudwhitey]

Shocking. You normally see these people smiling buying SUVs or sitting around a table with a family and their financial advisor

[Nope]

Happy Juneteenth everyone. Shame on you Chicago. Every last one of you. You just continue to dishonor the sacrifice and memory of your forefathers.

[brada]

I have a dumb question, what’s Juneteenth?

[TheSuperSpecialOne]

Happy Juneteenth! Several similar shootings happened in different states. I think I see a pattern here. 😮

[Chuck.Norris]

On Juneteenth! No way. Where's BLM at?

[Tonymanero]

I am sure the 22 injured do not have health taxpayer will be picking up the tab again. Maybe that is why insured people get charged $500 for a band-aid.

Honestly, the fact that we celebrate Juneteenth baffles me. This day was meant for recognition, yet it seems to provoke violence.

[weetodd]

Do that to my business and they'll call it Deadteenth

[juandoe]

Yeah thats why i dont take juneteenth celebrations serious certain people dont know how to celebrate without causing trouble

[kellieh]

Happy Juneteen. Now I know how to celebrate next year.

[anticom]

I, for one, am shocked at this outcome

[jille]

Stop killing each other, why can't we live in peace? ✌🏼❤️✨🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️✝️

[carsgunsandguitars]

Yet they have some of the most strict gun control laws in the nation

[jamesnewberry]

I think its supposed be June 19th. M'fer's can't even say it correctly.

[daryoushsameyah]

Why is it that you can't put 3 black people in one place without one of them killing the other 2?
Abd yet the very murders demand that all non-black people must all love, respect, and embrace all black people?
Can someone, anyone, please explain that logic to me?

[qreecpy]

Anytime you get that many Norwegians in one place, there's going to be problems.

Must be da Whiteman 😂quick call ben crump or al Sharpton 😂
