Washington (AFP) - The United States celebrated Independence Day with a long weekend of barbecues and fireworks, but in violence-plagued Chicago more than 101 were hit by gunfire, with 14 dying of their wounds, the Chicago Tribune said on Wednesday.

The youngest of the victims was just 13 years old and the eldest 60, the newspaper said, noting that the shootings were concentrated in the south and west of the country's third largest city.

The heavy toll came after President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he would be sending federal reinforcements to tackle chronic violence in Chicago, where local police forces were slammed for abuse in a federal report put out last January.

The long bout of holiday violence began on Friday and ended in the early hours of Wednesday, July 5. The holiday started off relatively peacefully but violence quickly escalated on Tuesday afternoon, when 41 people were shot in just 12 hours.

Violence in the city has drawn a great deal of media attention because it is where former president Barack Obama worked as a civil rights attorney and law professor and where he still maintains a high profile.

The rate of violence relative to the size of the population is, however, lower than other US cities such as St Louis or Baltimore.

Trump's not doing enough to combat violent crime in Shitcago, St. L, and Baltimore. Those shitholes should be under martial law on Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, and Martin Luther King Day with the full force of the national guard in sight, including tanks.
 
Baltimore mayor did ask for FBI help ...Chicago isn't Aleppo, but Beirut is probably safr now
 
I'm not a fan of the federal gov't forcing martial law in cities. Illinois is having severe economic issues and is close to being downgraded to junk status. These continued shootings in Chicago are sad.

IL can't afford to take care of itself. Wouldn't it be humanitarian to give them some federal help? And short of martial law, what would be effective?

The same reason you don't here about prostrate cancer from Susan Love. BLM deals with police violence, not gang violence.

Oh, I see. Do not talk about the things that actually doing the killing in record amounts in this country, just the political thing one wants to make a statement about. He should change the name of his cause then. Very misleading.

record breaking homicides this year.

Baltimore asks FBI for help: 'Murder is out of control'
http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/26/politics/baltimore-crime-fbi-help/index.html
he number of homicides in Baltimore this year is soaring -- reaching 100 before the end of April for the first time in nearly two decades -- and the mayor is asking the FBI for more help.
"Murder is out of control," said Mayor Catherine Pugh, at her weekly news briefing Wednesday. "There are too many guns on the streets. We're looking for all the help we can get."
The mayor met recently with the special agent in charge of the FBI's Baltimore office and asked for additional agents to help local police battle violent crime in the city, according to the mayor's spokesman, Anthony McCarthy. He said that could either mean bringing in more FBI agents from other field offices across the country or reassigning agents already in Baltimore to work with local police investigating violent crime.
 
I go on vacation and come back to racist white men still lying on Blacks like clock work.

Racist white men should NEVER mention BLM they have no clue of what it is or stands for. We don't need your ignorant opinions about it.

Racist white men continue to lie about murder rates in the inner cities.......they lie so they can have an excuse to kill and imprison Black men.

Racist white men will never be comfortable in their own skin as long as they are afraid of Black men.

Statistically, white men, especially racist white men are the most violent people on the planet. As a good humanitarian, I suggest we gas all racist white men and throw their bodies in the sea. After all they control "marshal law" so we certainly couldn't request that.

What can we do as a society to rid the planet of racist white men who have created havoc on this country?

The police and racist white men are doing the killing, you only hear about when Blacks kill.

And again, you don't know fuck about BLM so keep your racist opinion to those who ask for it.

I think we have had this discussion about racism quite a few times there TTQ. You go into your shit or go blind mode. Speaking for truth about blacks though, I will ask again. Why is Shaun King, the guy that hates America, the BLM spokesperson, not talking about all the blacks being killed by blacks in Chicago? Or other cities? A cop shoots a black person, BLM is all over that. Why not address all black lives being killed? Can you answer rationally to that? Or just go into your typical "racist" rant bullshit.

Really? How many blacks have "racist white men" and the police killed this year? How about last year? Now how many blacks killed blacks in just Chicago alone? Fuck you TTQ. And fuck BLM. Your both frauds, not worth a shit to society.
