Chicago Mayor Continues Blaming Everyone Else After 9-Year-Old Killed

We are a pretty divided nation. Right now, the divisions are deep and it’s difficult to see any path forward where they don’t get deeper and deeper.

However, despite those deep divisions, there are some things that are universal. One of those is how we all acknowledge the tragedy of a child losing his or her life, especially to something as senseless as violent crime. We can unite in our grief over something like that, something like what happened in Chicago over the weekend.

A 9-year-old Chicago boy was shot and killed Friday as he played outside, generating outrage throughout the city at a time when the number of murders has nearly tripled from the previous year.
