Numbers are slow to arrive. Mayor Bettlejuice doesn’t like releasing them. Here’s a teaser though. This is just Juneteenth party killings that will be over and above the record shootings every weekend. Enjoy.
At least eight people were fatally shot and dozens were injured during parties or gatherings on or related to the Juneteenth holiday injured in seven parts of the country, according to officials and local reports.
Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.

"Some women were seen swaying over an ambulance on Lake Merritt in Oakland. California On Saturday night, an ambulance crew tried to head to the shooting site, where one was killed and at least seven were injured."

Chicago Juneteenth shootings: 54 shot, 7 fatally, in weekend violence across city (Fri-Sun). Also, stabbings are not included as some are still in the hospital.
Chicago Memorial Day weekend: 34 Shot and 3 killed.
So far, Juneteenth has the record for the year in Chicago.
Still waiting on other cities (Louisville, NY, LA, Oakland, Phili, etc.) to release the data. You will be pleased with your efforts to defund police, and the general liberal stance of "no consequences for anyone but Trump". Great job!
