More kids have been shot in Chicago this year 261 then have died from Covid NATIONWIDE 214. No outrage as another 9 under 18 , mostly Black Americans were shot just this past weekend.

Vote Blue, vote woke, live like shyt.

It will never change. They'll keep the covid fear mongering going until next summer and, just in time for the mid-terms, it will dissipate and they'll paint a rosy picture. Then, after the libs retain control, another variant will pop up and we'll rinse and repeat.

I guess you guys haven't lost 2 relatives premature to Covid-19 just from getting together with family. Sucks and certainly changes your perspective. 😢
 
You don't know the travails of anyone on this site unless it's someone you know personally. Please don't play that card...
Excuse me??? Saying one gets a different perspective when you lose a loved one to this $#%!

Take it seriously and turn off Fox News.

Losing a family member to disease is awful. My sincere sympathy for you and family. But I must respectfully ask how a mother of a child shot by a gang member should not feel the same pain because her child did not die of Covid?

OP brought up senseless deaths of young people dieing from violence that the Chicago Mayor has made no real effort to stop. You showed ZERO sympathy for those deaths of real people, someone's child.. Is death by Covid somehow more noble than death by MS13 stabbing or gunshot?

And as to Fox News, well maybe you should watch and you might learn about the weekly deaths of young people in Chicago and other big democrat run cities. Or remain in your CNN cacoon that does not inform you of that?
 
OP (ME) was merely pointing out the remarkable number of shootings in Chicago this year of people (youngsters) under the age of 18 and contrasting it to the number of covid deaths NATIONWIDE in the same age group.

A stark reality that some can't handle.

Didn't know we were going to a "our society and especially our inner-cities are far too violent" discussion. Of course, I was born and raised in Chicago and it's terrible what's going on there and in our society as a whole. I'm not a "defund the police" or "take all the guns" guy but obviously what we've been doing (or not doing) as a country has not been working for quite sometime. 😢

That said the murder rate in the US is actually much lower than where it was back in the 1990's and 1970's.

Fox loves to play the greatest hits: crime in big cities, illegal immigrants, COVID/vaccine dis-information...

Winter can't come quick enough for Chicago. Where is Mayor Beetlejuice when these can get away with murder?

Senseless is the key word along with tragic AND Ignored. I find it so sad and I am neither Black nor from Chicago.

Bro don't make it about FOX. There is and has been a problem in Chicago for decades. It is a tragedy that has not been dealt with by 2-3 Mayors and Governors. It needs to be addressed. It is wrong and sad. Just leave it at that.

She can't fix it because in order to fix it she would have to break away from the liberal platform that Police are the problem and guns are the cause.

Not just Chicago and yes we agree it needs to be addressed nationwide.

Maybe she is more successful as a lesbian mat muncher?

I've lost loved ones and the only "perspective" I gained is to live life to the fullest as you don't know when your last breath will be. It could be years, months, weeks, days, or tomorrow. My suggestion to you is to not watch any mainstream news as you're obviously panicked over something you have zero control over.

Not panicked and you do have some control....get vaccinated, limit inside gatherings and wear a mask when needed or required. Other than that business as usual and enjoy life.👍🏼
