The Chicago Mass Shooting You Didn't Hear About This Week
[Red State] The city of Chicago suffered a mass shooting Thursday, according to NBC News.
At least two people were killed and another seven wounded Thursday night in a deadly mass shooting near a McDonald’s in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood, police say.

The shooting occurred around 10:40 p.m. Thursday in the 800 Block of North State Street outside of a McDonald’s near Chicago Avenue and State Street, Chicago Police spokesperson Tom Ahern said.

Chicago Police Supt. David Brown said two groups were arguing before someone fired a gun into the crowd of people. The incident was captured on video near the scene, he said.

"We see on video where a person with a gun fires into the crowd — basically this is a disturbance, a personal conflict — hitting the nine people, killing two, wounding seven," Brown said.

But don’t expect to see breathless media coverage of Presiden Biden’s plans to visit the corner of Chicago Avenue and State Street, outside the McDonalds where those two people lost their lives and another remains in critical condition Saturday (all were shot in the chest), the Chicago Tribune reports. Also, don’t think you’ll hear many follow-up details on the prior weekend’s murder of a teen that the publication writes has left residents reeling from shock. That kind of thing just doesn’t fit in with Biden’s or the Democrat Party’s narrative on "gun violence" or the growing menace of "white supremacy" in America.

Maybe you’re also not surprised that there hasn’t been a press release on this mass shooting from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) or a member of the Squad on the tragedy of these lost lives — unless, of course, the blame can be fashioned to tout stricter legislation that would purposely make it even harder for Americans to legally purchase guns to protect themselves, which my colleague Jeff Charles gave a heads-up on this week.

The tired and maddening refrain, as witnessed in the Tribune article Saturday about the city’s soaring violence, which notes it has jumped three-fold from last year, January 1 to May 18 — 5 to 15 — comes from the Democrat leaders there. By now, readers are all too familiar with Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s excuses for her party’s decades of failure in Chicago. But, listen as the city’s Police Superintendent David Brown insists the problem is a national misery beyond his control; he bemoans that the city is "awash in guns."

#2 Yeah, the guns are the problem. Not black and latino gangs with guns, knives, etc.

#3 Black people killing black people. That's why it's not newsworthy. It's a dog bites man story.

#4 It’s racist that black lives only truly matter to the media when they are validated by a white shooter. In media math no black lives matter, some lives are just useful. Blacks, whites, Asians, babies or the elderly are of low value to the Uber trans humanists. What marginal value we have is derived from our votes, demographics or identity as lab rats in their experiments.
