This falls on the shoulders of the mayor of Chicago. It’s scary that Mayor Lightfoot’s policies have created even more violence than that of the previous mayor. Chicago is on track to have over 350 homicides by July 1 this year. It hasn’t seen that many in the first half of the year in at least the last 10 years.
What has changed, and why are these (multiple) mass shootings not even being reported in the national news? Ignoring them won’t make them go away.
