18 Shot During Weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago
Eighteen people were shot, two of them fatally, during the weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
ABC 7 reports the first of the two shooting fatalities was discovered around 7:50 a.m., when a man was discovered shot to death in East Garfield Park.
FOX 32 notes the man had been shot 16 times. He was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead.
The second fatal shooting occurred Sunday morning just after 1:30 a.m. “in the 400 block of South Wells Street,” where a 24-year-old and a 38-year-old got into an argument that turned physical.
The 24-year-old pulled a gun and shot the 38-year-old, who was rushed to a hospital, where he died. The 24-year-old was taken into custody.
ABC 7 observed that the violent weekend was followed by three people being shot Monday morning “on a downtown feeder ramp to the Kennedy Expressway.” The victims’ injuries are non-life-threatening.

Report: BLM Cofounder Patrisse Cullors Renovates Backyard of Her Luxurious $1.4M L.A. Mansion
Black Lives Matter cofounder Patrisse Cullors has recently been busy making pricey renovations to the backyard of her luxurious $1.4 million mansion, according to a report.
Photos from the Daily Mail show that Cullors, a “trained Marxist,” has installed a brand-new sauna and garden outside her ritzy house located in the Topanga Canyon neighborhood of Los Angeles.
In addition, it appears as if she has added a plunge pool, concrete steps, a children’s swing and slide set, and a trampoline.
The British publication noted that the concrete steps were likely added because the property is located on the slope of the canyon wall.
This is not the first time she has upgraded the home, as she reportedly installed a $35,000 fence around the property in June 2021.
In 2013, Cullors helped cofound BLM and saw the organization gain national notoriety following the death of George Floyd and the subsequent riots it promoted in 2020.

However, questions were raised over how the BLM Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) was spending the $90 million it had fundraised following that tumultuous year.
It was later reported that since 2016, Cullors had purchased four homes in California and Georgia for a total of worth $3.2 million.
Among those homes was the Topanga Canyon compound, which she paid for in cash under the entity name “Abolitionist Entertainment, LLC” in March 2021.
After facing mounting criticism over missed funds, she resigned from BLM in May 2021 — one month after it was revealed she had purchased the Topanga Canyon home, Breitbart News reported.
Cullors claimed to have bought the homes to support her family and blamed “right-wing media” for highlighting her spending habits on luxurious homes.
Recent tax filings have also shown the BLMGNF spending more than half of its $90 million fund on consultants and real estate, the Daily Mail noted. It still reportedly has $42 million left in net assets.
The group is also accused of purchasing a $6 million home in Southern California that she used for personal parties, Breitbart News reported

NYC Crime Wave: Teen Attacked, Stabbed by Masked Suspects on Manhattan Subway Platform
A 17-year-old was stalked and brutally beaten by a group of masked suspects before he was stabbed on a subway platform in New York City.
According to police, the teen entered the subway system at East 53 Street and Lexington Avenue in Midtown Manhattan at around 4:22 p.m. on Saturday. He was coming off a shift working at Shake Shack, the New York Post noted.
One minute later, six individuals entered the subway station through the same location and approached the victim waiting on the northbound ‘6’ line platform.
The group of individuals proceeded to start punching and kicking the 17-year-old multiple times in the head and body. During the beating, one of the individuals pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim multiple times.
The gang of attackers then fled the station to parts unknown. New York Police Department (NYPD) officials believe that the victim and the attackers had known each other previously.
“He said he had a beef with them,” a police source told the Post, but it was unclear what the dispute was over.
EMS attended to the victim at the station and then transported him to New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. While the teen received multiple staples, he was listed in stable condition.
The NYPD is searching for approximately six black males who were last seen wearing black hooded jackets, black pants, and surgical masks.

According to NYPD crime statistics, major crime in Democrat Mayor Eric Adam’s New York City has increased by 32.7 percent since last year. Assaults are up by 15.9 percent, and crime on the city’s transit system has jumped 41.6 percent.
Breitbart News recently reported that rising violent crime has emerged as a deciding issue for most American voters with the 2022 midterm elections approaching. Recent polling shows that 77 percent of voters believe violent crime is a serious issue.
