– Another 52 shot, 10 murdered in Chicago this weekend. How long will Mayor Johnson avoid deterrence? – Wirepoints Quickpoint:
How long will Chicago’s Mayor Brandon Johnson stick with his “violence as a symptom of disinvestment” explanation that was widely criticized?
His comments came last weekend after 12 Chicagoans were murdered and 53 shot.
Memorial Day weekend was a big test for the new mayor, whose investment in yellow-vest “Peacekeepers” and anti-violence programs failed to stem the bloodshed.
That weekend was bad enough, but now he’s got another weekend of 10 murdered and 52 shot (as of 5pm Sunday).
- A shooting in Austin Sunday left one person dead and six others wounded. A 25-year-old woman was killed in the shooting.
- Minutes earlier, a 34-year-old man was fatally shot and another was wounded downtown, police said.
- Hours later, another 30-year-old man was shot to death and a woman was wounded in Little Italy.
- A 40-year-old man was fatally shot Saturday night in front of a home in Chatham.
- Over an hour earlier, a 19-year-old man was killed and another was wounded in a shooting in Humboldt Park.
- A 70-year-old man was killed and another wounded in a shooting Saturday morning in Englewood on the South Side.
- Hours earlier, a 31-year-old man was fatally shot in the city’s South Shore neighborhood.
- Just under three hours earlier, a 32-year-old man was shot and killed in North Lawndale.
- About two hours before that, a 23-year-old man was fatally shot while sitting in his car in the Austin neighborhood.
[Additionally, as Thomas Lifson reports, in video leaked to CWB Chicago, we see how much worse matters have become, with 2 machine gun-armed men caught on video firing at unseen targets, killing a child, and injuring at least 3 others.
To make matters much worse, when police arrived to investigate, a 16-year-old boy fired shots at the officers, thankfully missing them.]
