Chicago tops 700 homicides
In a year of relentless violence, Chicago has hit another grim milestone, exceeding 700 homicides for the first time in nearly two decades, according to official Police Department records. The 700 mark was reached about 6:20 a.m. Wednesday when a 25-year-old man was shot in the abdomen and back as he drove, crashing into a bus shelter in the 9300 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue on the South Side, said Frank Giancamilli, a police spokesman. Then at about 8 p.m., a 22-year-old man was found shot and killed as he walked in a gangway near 68th Street and Cornell Avenue in the South Shore neighborhood. The 701 homicides through Wednesday marked a nearly 56 percent jump from the 450 killings a year earlier. With one month still to go, that represents the most homicides since 704 in 1998. There were 761 homicides in 1997.
Where are the Progressive /Left anti-gun protesters ? Do black lives really matter in Chicago to the Progressive / Left ?

Black lives really don't matter to the Progressive / Left. They turn a blind eye to the gun violence taking place in Chicago but when one black criminal is shot by a white police officer the Progressive / Left wants to protest and burn down their own community. The hypocrisy is there for all to see and Chicago is the perfect example of their hypocrisy. 1
