While the media and left continue their never ending protests for George Floyd, one needs to ask these “protesters”, thugs and looters if the people who were shot in Chicago this past weekend lives matter. In all, 11 children were shot, one as young as 14 years old. The shooting victims and perpetrators were mainly African American.
Yet the national media doesn’t seem to care about these kids getting shot, even though they are African-American. There are no mass protests, sit ins, marches, rioting and looting for these kids. Instead, it’s business as usual in Beetlejuice Lightfoot’s Chicago.

At least 11 children were wounded in shootings this weekend, when a total of at least 26 people were shot across the city, four of them fatally.
Most of the child victims of gun violence between Friday afternoon and early Monday morning were teenagers, including three girls who were wounded in a mass shooting in the Parkway Gardens neighborhood on Friday night.
Police said the shooting started shortly after 9 p.m. Friday inside an apartment near 65th and King Drive, and then spilled out into a hallway. It’s not clear how many people were there, but at the first sound of gunshots, everyone ran out into the hallway. That’s when more shots were fired.
The victims included two 14-year-old girls, a 15-year-old girl, an 18-year-old man, a 20-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman. Two of the victims were being treated at Comer Children’s Hospital. Three of those injured were in critical condition Saturday night. The other victims were taken to University of Chicago Medical Center and Stroger Hospital.
