Willie Richardson: Chicago: Another Weekend From Hell

Why don't black lives matter when other blacks are the ones taking those lives?

What was supposed to be a weekend that black Americans celebrated Juneteenth, a holiday marking the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the United States, turned into another bloody massacre. Is this even news anymore? Is this what should be expected of neophyte bloodthirsty gang bangers seeking approval from veteran gangsters? Is this just what young, black, father-absent males do?

Chicago’s urban violence is one of the talking points of black conservatives when the misguided Black Lives Matter mob comes up; and rightfully so. In no other American urban city do you see this scale of reckless violence on demand every other weekend. Just like there’s 24 hours in a day, you can bet your bottom dollar that another urban innocent child will be lost to street violence.

This past weekend 104 people were shot, while 12 were fatally wounded.

ONE HUNDRED FOUR PEOPLE IN ONE WEEKEND. Let this marinate.

If white cops shot this many unarmed urban youth in five years, America would be on fire from sea to shining sea. But it’s just those gang bangers killing again; business as usual. Have we become numb and dumb to the senseless violence? Let’s test our sensibilities.

No one seems to know, but anyone asking is a racist bigot who doesn't deserve to speak.

Across 100s of thousands, perhaps millions, of interactions with police and black suspects last year only 9 (IIRC) unarmed died. In comparison 12 were killed by other residents just last weekend; a weekend or so back it was 18. This is the weekly routine in Chicago, week after week, month after month.

But it's a non-issue for Pelousy and her kente cloth clad kneelers. They have no shame!

Get a clue:

The gangs work for the international bankers who control the flow of heroin and cocaine
The cops get their marching orders at the Blue Lodge
Everything is controlled from the top down

This has nothing to do with black lives

This is the uncomfortable conversation they refuse to have.
They can't wonder why the black on black murder is epidemic. It is because they teach their youth it is acceptable to kill each other. This including murdering black children. This they can not deny. They teach their youth a murder only matters depending on who the killer is. Now they have cheerleaders in the form of white wokes who are very very evil degenerates. They are the devil's spawn doing the devil's work on earth.

Killing their own; is Soros behind this? Could this be the ultimate conspiracy theory to cleanse from within?

10:10 PM - and of those 9, 4 were involved in a physical assault on an officer at the time.

Northwest Woodsman: Folks, it is in their DNA and they are pre-programmed for violence based upon the environment in which they developed through natural selection for thousands of years. Go on YouTube and research videos on African countries and it will become obvious what the problem is. Just open your eyes and don’t be fooled by government propaganda.

Let them keep killing each other. By the end of the years Christmas will be extra special.
