A series of shootings over the weekend in Chicago has left nine people dead and 25 wounded, closing out a violent July in which murders there more than doubled compared to the same month last year, reports say.
Tragedy first struck Friday evening when Janari Ricks, a 9-year-old who was playing with a group of friends, died after being hit in the chest by a gunman who walked up and started opening fire, investigators say. Chicago Police Department Chief of Operations Brian McDermott told the Sun-Times newspaper that Ricks “was an unintended target," and now a $4,000 reward is being offered for information about the person who pulled the trigger.
“While our City has made progress in reducing violence in recent weeks, all of that is lost when we lose another child to gun violence,” Mayor Lori Lightfoot tweeted following the incident.

Seems that these black lives don't matter.
$4,000 is all a kids life is worth. If they really wanted to solve murders in Chicago and Baltimore, make it $100k, watch how fast those neighborhoods clean themselves up.
And so it continues while Lightfoot wrings her hands wondering what to do.
The 7 yr old shot in the head in Philly this weekend has died! Blacks and other blm supporters should be ashamed of themselves but since most are lacking an ounce of moral blood in their putrid grotesque bodies this child's life means nothing to them! What they teach their youth is disgusting. They teach their youth a life ONLY matters if the killer was a police or white. This is why children are being murdered. And those that teach their youth this primal way of thinking think they are equals? Guess again.. blm supporters are the lowest form of life. They are filth not worthy to breathe the same air as the good people of this country. Animals are more civilized then blm supporters.
For those who choose 'the life', these numbers are disappointing. Practice, practice, practice.
Un-aborted intended targets are to get out of child support.
your preaching to the choir
majority of BLM can't read
Why those black horses' asses! I call this race a walking enema because they're the same color as an enema discharge -- except an enema is more productive and less violent.
BLM my butt! It only Matters if it is in front of a camera and if a White person or cop did the killing! They don't give a s*#t otherwise! And if someone makes a statement "All Lives Matter" They are considered racist! What is racist my friend is treating one group of people different than others. Hmmmm isn't that what they are doing here?
Intelligent and responsible blacks need to step up and lead their fellow blacks out of the misery the current ‘leaders’ have put them in.
