Chicago's Summer of Joy gave us yet another violent weekend. As it kicked off, Mayor Lori Lightfoot's Chicago's Monument Project released its report, recommending some statues, including three of Christopher Columbus, never see the light of day. Clearly Lightfoot's priorities are in the wrong place.

Over the past weekend three people were shot to death, a man in Canaryville on the Southwest Side, a man in Gresham on the South Side was fatally wounded, and on the West Side, in Homan Square, a man was shot to death there.

At least 33 others were wounded, including a six-year old girl in Englewood on the South Side.
