Business As Usual
The headline by the Sun-Times Media Wire was “101 shot, 14 fatally, over Father’s Day weekend in Chicago.” The weekend saw more shooting victims but less fatalities than the last weekend of May, when 85 people were shot, 24 of them fatally — Chicago’s most deadly weekend in years.
The vast majority were black-on-black shootings and killings. In other words, business as usual. This is why #BlackLivesMatter is a complete joke. Don’t the lives of the 14 that died over the weekend matter? What about the 24 killed during the last weekend in May?
