3 dead, 8 hurt in weekend violence; city passes 500th fatal shooting
Chicago Sun Times, Oct 8, 2017

A man shot dead Friday evening was the 500th person to be killed in city gun violence since the start of the year during a weekend in which three people were killed and eight others wounded in shootings.

The city reached 500 shooting homicides about a week later than it did last year, on Sept. 29, 2016, according to data maintained by the Chicago Sun-Times. At this point last year, there had been 511 people shot to death.

In all, 535 deaths have been ruled homicides in the city since the start of this year, according to Sun-Times data.

Where is the outrage?  Seriously, where are the marches, where are BLM when they're actually needed?

It's almost as though black lives snuffed out by other black lives really don't matter, after all - at least to the race-baiters.  :shrug:

"It's almost as though black lives snuffed out by other black lives really don't matter,"

That most prominent fact cannot be acknowledged by liberals for ideological reasons.  The lie that racist white cops gun down innocent black males by the hundreds daily must be what people read and hear about. That's the line I've heard ever since the sixties.
In fact, from reading articles in websites for blacks like "The Root", black scribblers refuse to believe what happens literally in front of their faces.  They wish to believe the myth that whites are just as violent as blacks, but their crimes are covered up by the authorities. I recently read an article in The Root where some black writer wrote exactly that.
It will take some person on the level of the president to tell black people the truth...they commit a staggering amount of crime, and they are the only people responsible for it, not Evil Whitey. It's well past time to tell them that.

As we see nearly every evening on the news is that there are mothers and other family members of inner-city murder victims who are all too aware of what's happening in their neighborhoods. No one is marching, blocking traffic or torching police cars while screetching, "Black lives matter!" on their behalf (as if that were helpful, anyway).
