Do Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker not care about dead black people?

The violent holiday weekend came as President Donald Trump renewed threats to send federal agents and National Guard troops to Chicago over the objections of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.

Chiraq often has dozens of gunshot victims every single weekend. It adds up quickly.

But nah, they don't need any help. They apparently like black teens shooting up black neighbors with their modded Glock 19s.

‘We have received credible reports that we have days, not weeks, before our city sees some type of militarized activity by the federal government,' Johnson said, in part. ‘We take these threats seriously and we find ourselves in a position where we must take immediate, drastic action to protect our people from federal overreach.'

Mass shootings? Totally fine.

Using the brave men and women of the National Guard to shop mass shootings? "Drastic action" needed!

Whoever wrote this article at ABC News must be really tired of crime, because I have never seen such pro-Trump wording at the left-wing outlet.

Behold:

At least 20 separate shootings occurred in Chicago between 10:32 p.m. Friday and 3 a.m. Sunday morning, according to a review by ABC News of police incident reports published online.

The victims included a 17-year-old girl who was inside her home when a bullet came through a front window and hit her in the arm, a 31-year-old man who was shot in the leg after getting caught in the crossfire of gunmen shooting at each other from two vehicles, and a 25-year-old woman who was shot and injured while driving down a street, all according to the incident reports.

Fewer than five hours after Trump posted a message on social media on Saturday criticizing Pritzker's handling of crime in Chicago, a mass shooting occurred in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago's South Side that left seven people wounded.

Brutal.

What do you have to say to that, Johnson and Pritzker?
