A child is dead and 10 other people are injured.
At the end of January, Mayor Brandon Johnson, the corrupt pro-crime leftist in charge of the city, whipped votes and broke a tie to demand that Israel stop attacking his Hamas pals under the guise of calling for a “ceasefire”.
Gaza hasn’t been doing so well since, but neither has Chicago.
Since Mayor Johnson and the cowards and leftists on the City Council called for a ceasefire, 126 people have been killed in Chicago.
That’s right. 126 just in the last several months. (Those are the Trib numbers, Hey Jackass shows 140 for the whole year but it may be listing only murders that occurred as a result of shootings. HJ also shows 539 shot and wounded so far this year.)
And here’s how the Chicago ceasefire is going so far.
A child is dead and 10 other people are injured after a mass shooting at a family gathering on the city’s South Side on Saturday night.
Officers responded to a ShotSpotter alert for 18 gunshot rounds at the location, police said. They found multiple people shot and started performing live-saving measures on the victims.
The victims included seven adults and four children, police said. A girl was shot in her head. She was taken to the hospital, where she later died.
The girl’s father, Jose Molina, identified her as 9-year-old Ariana Molina.
“They had some big assault rifles, I guess, because it was too many shots… they shot my daughter in the head… my wife in the back… me in my leg… my two nephews and a couple more family members,” Jose Molina said.
ShotSpotter may have saved lives here. Mayor Brandon Johnson of course wants to get rid of ShotSpotter because it causes the police to detect gunfire and thereby arrest more of his voting base.
Meanwhile, Mayor Johnson has leaped into action after the latest shooting to… offer therapy to everyone affected.
The Community Safety Coordination Center has developed an initial response plan, which, among other resources, will consist of:
A mass canvassing event at 52nd and Damen and surrounding blocks on Monday, April 15, at 2 p.m. with the purpose of providing the community access to behavioral teams, victim services and case management
Financial support for the family of the child who passed away via the Emergency Supplemental Victim’s Fund program
Emergency Services Assistance Center, starting today, April 14
Victim services to other victims and families
Increased 9th District CPD presence at impacted schools
As the CPD and our partners work through their investigation, the Back of the Yards community has the full support of our administration as they process and heal from this trauma.”
That’ll stop the next shooting.
But he is holding a ghoulish “roundtable” on antisemitism at which the only apparent attendees will be Hamas supporters.
At least three Jewish lawmakers and several Jewish organizations are declining Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s invitation for a Monday roundtable to discuss antisemitism over what they describe as “disrespect and lack of concern for the Jewish community.”
In a letter sent Friday declining the invitation, 50th Ward Ald. Debra Silverstein; state Sen. Sara Feigenholtz, D-Chicago, and state Rep. Bob Morgan, D-Deerfield, pointed to Johnson’s tie-breaking vote in support of a resolution calling for a cease-fire in the war in Gaza as an example of Johnson’s “stunning failure in leadership.”
The only ones attending apparently will be the pro-terror JVP.
Mayor Johnson’s approval rating dropped from 28% in November to 21% in February. At this rate, he’s gonna make Lori look like a rock star.

“the child who passed away.” The little girl, not long out of babyhood, didn’t “pass away.” The poor little girl was murdered.
Say her name, you worm. Her name is Ariana. She was murdered by the ghouls you favor.
This creep is actually a ‘let’s go brandon.’ Go, go far away, and just keep right on going. The city needs you like it needs another great fire.
My sympathies and prayers for Ariana and her grieving family.

This is what occurs when a community refuses to vote into office someone who actually cares about the community. The people of Chicago chose the worst candidate on the ballot which the electorate could have accessed his previous statements and voting record. No parent should have to bury their child of any age but one so young is very unacceptable and this mayor needs to be recalled and replaced with someone who actually cares about the people.

Another “blue” city with criminals running the streets ,no bail for violent repeat offenders ,cops held to a standard of not aloud to use force to do their jobs of arresting offenders. Why is this fool commenting on what Israel is doing to defend themselves ,he cannot run his own city where many of his own citizens face dangerous violent criminals because of his failed woke policies., You have over 80 years of democrats running the Chicago ,on display here ,the people suffering the most ironically ,getting rob and murder at the highest rate are people of “color” who this idiotic mayor says he champions ! If peace broke out tomorrow in the middle east Chicago would still be a shithole because of the way the democrats in 2024 are running it. What goes on in the Middle East has zero to do with the giant fail ,the murder and violent crime rate going thru the roof in Chicago ,NYC, and LA in the last 4 years. My question to this black mayor is if Black lives matter why do you not change your fail policies that get so many blacks killed ?

Crime in Chicago is even starting to invade the once “Magnificent Mile”.
Once that economic engine goes, the whole city goes.
