This kind of violence has been commonplace in Chicago since the days of Al Capone, but are we now seeing more violence from blacks than from white gangsters? Has there ever been any violence from Bible-believing white Christians on the streets of Chicago? I have never heard of any but I also have not yet seen what Merrick Garland may have found out that made him call white Christians the worst threats to Americans of any violent group.

Drive-by shooting in Chicago leaves 4 dead and 14 others wounded, police say
CHICAGO (AP) — The upbeat mood in a busy Chicago neighborhood known for its restaurants and nightlife quickly turned into horror late Wednesday as shots were fired at a crowd from a fast-moving vehicle, killing four people.
After the shots rang out, some people fell to the ground or screamed, witnesses said.
“I can only describe it as a war zone,” Chicago pastor Donovan Price, who responds to communities and people in crisis, told The Associated Press. ”Just mayhem and blood and screaming and confusion as people tried to find their friends and phones. It was a horrendous, tragic, dramatic scene.”
Price said people in the crowd outside Artis Restaurant and Lounge in the city's River North neighborhood told him they had been at an album release party for a rapper. Videos on social media showed a red carpet outside and guests mingling and dancing inside.
The Black and LGBTQ-owned Creole restaurant, which opened in April, posted on Instagram that it was created as a safe space “where Black, Brown, Queer, and allied communities could gather, be celebrated, and feel at home in River North.”
They said, "what happened last night disrupted it in the most painful way.”
Now might be a good time for democrats to rethink their push to defund the police, at least in democrat cities.
