Another deadly Labor Day weekend in Chicago has left families torn apart and communities in fear. At least 58 people were shot across the city, with 8 losing their lives to senseless gun violence. The bloodshed included multiple mass shootings that terrorized innocent residents trying to enjoy their holiday weekend.
The worst violence hit Chicago’s South Side neighborhoods, where three separate mass shootings shocked even hardened residents. In Bronzeville alone, two mass shootings happened within just 48 hours of each other. A 17-year-old boy was critically wounded when gunmen opened fire on a crowd, showing just how out of control the streets have become.
This Labor Day carnage was actually worse than last year’s violence, when seven people died over the same weekend. The numbers keep climbing year after year under failed Democratic leadership. Chicago residents are paying the price for soft-on-crime policies that put criminals first and law-abiding citizens last.
President Trump has stepped up to offer real solutions that Chicago’s weak leaders refuse to accept. He announced plans to send National Guard troops to restore order to America’s most dangerous city. Trump promised to solve Chicago’s crime problem fast, just like he cleaned up Washington DC during his presidency.
But Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are fighting against federal help. Pritzker called Trump’s common-sense intervention plan “unhinged” during a press conference. These Democratic politicians would rather play politics than save lives in their own communities.
Black Chicago residents are finally speaking out against their failed leaders who have abandoned them. They see the truth that liberal politicians have turned their neighborhoods into war zones. Hardworking families deserve better than mayors who care more about ideology than public safety.
The people of Chicago need leaders who will back the police and get tough on criminals. Instead they get excuses and blame games while children get shot in the streets. This is what happens when Democrats run cities into the ground with their anti-police agenda.
President Trump is ready to bring law and order back to Chicago whether local politicians like it or not. Real leadership means putting American lives before political games. The time for talk is over when kids are dying every weekend in our own backyard.
