Photos from Chicago and Petersburg VA show the crowds that were shot up. The Lexington report doesn't have many pictures, but it was at a concert. Perhaps we could know more about the makeup of the audience if we knew what music genre the concert fit into.

Lexington was a daylight happening, the other two were dark outdoor happenings. (No pun intended but ...._)

The Lexington shooting was at a very small park. Doesn’t appear to be able to hold a big event. Looks like it was a small community event. Very sad.

quote:

According to Weathers, five victims have reportedly been shot, including two children (a four year old and a 14 year old) and two adults with non-life-threatening. One victim was pronounced deceased by the Fayette County Coroner's Office at the hospital.

Is it really “chaos erupting” or just another summer Saturday?

A reminder that violent crime has been trending down from its peak in the 90s. Imagine if we had the same social media and sensationalist news sources back then.

And not to take away from the tragedies here.

Mass shootings on Saturday night, not Saturday night Mass shootings.


Wasn't sure of the context here. Carry on.

Chicago mass shooting is bordering on cliche.

Anything that happens in Chicago is just routine.

Hell Andy, that's how we got here in the first place!

True, despite sensational headlines, murder rates have been trending down…

I realize that fact doesn’t serve certain agendas…

Why don’t you list the certain murder/crime figures that are trending down. What are the numbers specifically per demographic?

I realize this fact will never come out of your cum stained lips, agendas and all

If it’s black people shooting black people, your reliable national MSM does.not.care. Those are non-events to “the Fourth Estate”.

Are shootings down? Also, murders are not down in Chicago. They’ve gone up. Also, who was involved in the shootings? Who accounts for the majority of mass shootjngs in the U.S.? When you answer those questions truthfully, then you can STfU about “agendas.” Facts are facts even if they hurt your fee fees with their “racism.”

Don't forget we have proof that certain cities stop reporting or under report certain crimes. That alone will 'bring down' crime.
