At least 13 people were shot, two of them fatally, in Democrat-controlled Chicago during the second weekend of 2026, continuing the city's bloody tradition of violence under failed liberal leadership.
The weekend carnage highlights the stark hypocrisy of the left's selective outrage machine. While Democrats and their media allies will riot in the streets over police-involved shootings, they maintain deafening silence when it comes to the weekly bloodbaths plaguing America's inner cities.
As one social media user pointed out the obvious double standard: "So where is the liberal outrage? Oh I get it, this is only blacks shooting blacks. Protesting that doesn't advance the leftist agenda or generate the needed violence," posted @SPURGEONdotUS on social media.
The brutal reality is that Democrat policies have turned Chicago into a war zone. Decades of progressive governance, soft-on-crime prosecutors, and anti-police rhetoric have created the perfect storm for lawlessness to flourish in the Windy City.
Meanwhile, President Trump's immigration enforcement efforts continue facing scrutiny, with reports claiming "ICE agents were involved in least 13–14 shootings in 2025" resulting in "at least 3–4 fatalities," according to social media reports. Yet where's the context? These federal agents are doing the dangerous work of enforcing immigration law that Democrats refused to tackle.
Adding to Chicago's troubles, reports emerged of a "Federal agent accused of shooting woman in Chicago" who allegedly "drove work SUV to Maine" with a "judge demands his return," showing how even federal law enforcement faces challenges in the chaos of Democrat-run cities.
While Chicago burns under Democrat leadership, the mainstream media continues to ignore the real crisis facing American cities. They'd rather attack Trump's immigration enforcement than address the weekly massacres happening in places like Chicago, Baltimore, and Detroit.
How many more Americans must die before Democrat mayors admit their failed policies are literally killing people? The blood is on their hands, and no amount of media spin can wash it clean.
