its one our larger 'mass shooting' but i haven't seen a word about it in 'our free press'. do you think that might be due to the nature of those involved in the 'crimes' therein;

Seventeen people have been killed and at least 82 wounded during shootings in Chicago over the extended Fourth of July weekend.

Halfway into the long July 4th weekend, the tally of shootings surpassed the numbers for last year’s entire holiday weekend. Last year, 11 people were killed and 62 wounded over the holiday weekend, which stretched over four days, July 1-4.

This year’s holiday violence includes four mass shootings. In all, 24 people were shot, four fatally, in the mass attacks.

Mayor Brandon Johnson said in a statement the Chicago Police Department would deploy officers whose days off for the holiday weekend were previously canceled, aiming “to maximize presence and ensure prompt incident response.”..........more...........
