Over the July 4th weekend:
- Seven folks have been shot to loss of life in Highland Park, a Chicago suburb.
- Ten folks have been shot to loss of life in Chicago .
One is uncommon, and the opposite is routine. However some liberal shops are noticing the eye hole.
The Washington Put up ran a front-page story on Thursday that lamented “There are not any crowdsourced charity drives elevating hundreds of thousands for victims’ households in Chicago, the place the vacation weekend loss of life toll reached at the very least 10 with 62 injured — numbers that exceed the toll in Monday’s mass taking pictures at a July 4th parade in close by Highland Park, Unwell. In that prosperous lakeside suburb, the violence was an anomaly. Right here, it’s a grimly common incidence.”
However on her MSNBC present on Tuesday, Nicolle Wallace targeted completely on the seven Highland Park taking pictures deaths. Not a phrase concerning the 10 taking pictures deaths in Chicago. Be aware that in 2021, there have been 3,561 taking pictures incidents in Chicago, and 797 homicides.
Reporter Chris Jansing stated that individuals got here to Highland Park assuming it will be secure, Jansing noting that the city, “nearly a decade in the past, handed a ban on the form of weapons that police say have been used within the taking pictures.” Sure, if solely that they had additionally posted Gun-Free Zone indicators alongside the parade route. That certainly would have stopped the shooter.
Wallace and her visitor Peter Strzok, the Trump-hating, ex-FBI agent, targeted on the race of the Highland Park suspect. Strzok complained “these form of socially-alienated 18, 19, 22-year-old awkward white males go into gun outlets, lawfully purchase, once more, not handguns, not a, you already know, musket, however a weapon designed, beginning within the Vietnam warfare, to be a weapon of warfare, purchase that legally, and in some instances then flip round, some with planning, some with out, and are in a position to do it.”
Once more, no point out of the age or race of the Chicago shooters. Surprise why?
And NBC correspondent Tom Winter reported that along with seven homicide expenses, the Highland Park suspect may additionally be charged with misdemeanors for violating the city’s assault-weapons ban.
Nicolle Wallace’s MSNBC present was sponsored partially by Wayfair, Abbott, maker of Guarantee, and Clear Selection.
