Today in History, May 30, the weekend edition of the Daily Journal, “In 1937, 10 people were killed when police fired on steelworkers demonstrating near the Republic Steel Plant in South Chicago.”
Where is the outrage by the various movements, including BLM, about the weekly killings in Chicago? Nine (black) murder victims just during the last weekend? It seems as if those lives do not matter after all to some. I recommend that Biden swing by Chicago (where no political hay is to be derived) on his way to Houston where he will be attending the photo op funeral for the soon to be forgotten murdered man.

I don't know what is up with Chicago, but your right Frank, nothing ever seems to change in that city.
Thank you for this.
