Over Labor Day weekend six Chicagoans were shot to death and at least 57 others were wounded. Of those shot, eight of them were children. One of the slain was 4-year-old Mychal Moultry Jr, who was shot by stray bullets as he was getting a haircut inside a home. Moultry doesn't live in Chicago, he was visiting the South Side with his family, they are from Alabama.
So far in 2021 at least 280 children have shot shot in Chicago--35 of them fatally.
A recent poll by WGN TV/Emerson College shows that only slightly one-third of Chicagoans approve of the job Kim Foxx is doing. How did Foxx respond? With the race card. John Kass gives us her comments.
And we need to stop oversimplifying the criminal justice system and critically examine all the factors influencing violence in our communities.This means not relying on data from a cherry-picked poll that only examines two actors in a broad system and who happen to be Black women.
Foxx is an embarrasment. And a deadly one too.
According to Hey Jackass of Chicago's 2021 murder victims over 80-percent of them were African-American.
