Twenty-one of the shootings happened between Saturday night into Sunday morning.

In a study for the Chicago Justice Project, researcher Anna Bryan looked at school districts in the 30 largest cities in the United States since the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis in 2020. Minneapolis and Denver schools saw dramatic drops in student discipline issues, but others are considering returning police to schools after seeing spikes in violence, she said.

“Something is happening in Chicago,” wrote Real America’s Voice “Law & Border” host Ben Bergquam. “The inner city realizes they have been controlled by Democrats for decades and nothing has gotten better. Now they’re being sold out and replaced by illegals. They are done with Joe Biden and the open borders Democrats.”

Residents are getting angry. In a heated community meeting in racially diverse Hyde Park, Chicago, locals complained about resources going to illegals. “You’ve got 73 percent of the people homeless in this city are black people,” one woman said. “What have you done for them?” Some even accused the city of disproportionately placing shelters in minority neighborhoods.

“As the weather warms in our city, our rates of gun violence go up in direct relation to the temperature. We recently witnessed this terrible truth during the summery last weekend of February. Over that weekend’s 48 hours, when temperatures were in the 60s and 70s, 21 people were shot, with four of those human beings dying from their gunshot wounds. Then, from March 12 to 13, when temperatures were again over 60 degrees, nine people were killed in a violent 24 hours.”

After first launching in 2018, the Bring Chicago Home measure failed to pass last week, leaving longtime grassroots homeless advocates disappointed and frustrated with the results. Hannah Gelder, the organizing director for a social justice group on the referendum’s steering committee, said advocates for the homeless in years past fought at the state level to increase taxes to fund affordable housing, but state lawmakers said they didn’t want to consider legislation on the issue. That meant Chicago, where homeless people number more than 60,000, had to go directly to voters in this year’s election.

“The Johnson team’s struggles to manage implementation of both the ideas on which it campaigned and the sorts of problems with which every mayor is confronted have created a crisis of confidence in the mayor’s office for a substantial number of aldermen, the business community and, most importantly, the public.”

n the 20th century, Chicago was an epicenter of the nation’s racist housing practices, a dark chapter with devastating modern-day ramifications, all of which a new documentary series lays out in painstaking detail.
