Continued Genocide In Chicago: 8 Killed, At Least 46 Wounded By Gun Violence Over Weekend! (VIDEO)

By: Tommy “Tj” Sotomayor
So I guess in Chicago, when the weather heats up so does the violence? If you are here because of the video I did on fathers day 2010 then I am sure you know how bad it was then. Well what you are about to see actually happened on Father’s Day 2014 weekend and it was just as bloody and just as bad but what you are going to hear is the snow people telling you that its getting better.
So now you see what the people in law enforcement think about the people on the innercity. The one thing that you cant deny is going on here is that black people are killing other black people. Black people need to start looking within themselves and not outside of themselves.
Donald Sterling says something about black people and black folks go nuts but when black people kill black each other there is no outcry at all. No one is marching the streets when you have these cities like Chicago that have streets that are literally running red with blood of black boys and girls. No one flinches when when these people are being held hostage in their own homes because the violence ourside of their homes is so bad.
The black children grow up feeling like they may not not see 21 years of age in this city. The world sees this city and I have heard people say that they wouldnt care if cities like this were bombed and rebuilt with new people. Black people are so stupid that they will keep killing these people but blame it on the system, blame it on being poor when there are people in the trailor parks that are just as poor but nowhere near as savage.
I am sorry but the majority of black people in the united states are deserving of the way that they are looked at by people outside of the black community. I dont like being around a group of black people, I dont like being in majority of black cities, I dont like hanging out in all black clubs, I dont like going to black a lot of stuff because when you get a bunch of black people together it usually doesnt work out well for all involved! If we really want to make a change then lets do it instead fo watching our people die over nothing.
Eight people were killed and at least 46 others wounded by gun violence over the hot Chicago weekend.
At least eight people died and at least 46 others were wounded in shootings over a hot, bloody weekend in Chicago.
Joseph Briggs, 16, was the youngest victim of gun violence over the weekend. He was shot in the head while standing with a group of people on the porch in front of his family’s home Saturday evening and died early Sunday.
His grandmother Josephine Briggs told theChicago Sun-Times that she believed her grandson was not the intended target of the shooting which police say may have been gang-related.
“He [had] a nice personality. He always [was] smiling. Every time you see him he got a big smile on his face. He was just a happy grandson,” she told the paper of the Gage Park High School junior.
Rashaun Stephany, 22, and Mario Jackson, 26, were killed in a single shooting on the 5100 block of South May Street just before 5 p.m. Friday, the Chicago Tribunereports. Three other males were injured in the same incident.
Alease Davies, Stephany’s mother, told ABC Chicago her son had been “on his way to the studio to make his music. That is all he ever did. They snatched him away. It hurts so bad.” Below is video taken by a citizen showing what the aftermath of 5 people being shot.
From late Saturday into early Sunday alone, 20 people were wounded by gunfire in Chicago.
The weekend’s latest shooting occurred late Sunday evening, when someone opened fire at a party near Halsted and 50th in the city’s Back of the Yards neighborhood, according to ABC. Two males were killed and three others were wounded in the incident.
The victims of gun violence were mostly male and ranged in age from 17 to 50. No arrests have been made in the shootings as of Monday morning.
Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy appeared on several local news stations Monday morning and addressed the bloody weekend. McCarthy pointed out that overall crime in the city is down 10 percent.
“None of it is OK,” McCarthy told NBC Chicago. “Crime reduction is a process. We implement the strategies and the question is are we doing better than we were last year. And the answer is yes.”
Homicides in Chicago so far this year were up nearly 50 percent when compared to last year, as of late last month.

Jump into a conversationwell if they start shoot whites i know chicago police would lock down the hood….
You’re damn right.
They don’t kill white people because they buy all the drugs. 90% of heroin users are white.
TJ, whores are sponsored in our current system. They are not going to stop whoring unless the sponsorship ends.
I like your idea of Sotonation. It gives like-minded brothers a place to share ideas. I think this is a major step in us forming a real community. You speak on this too; but I think the next step is for us men to physically gather and establish real inter-personal relationships.
Finally, at some point we need some brothers to get together, buy some land (in TX), and start building. We have to give these young brothers more than our words. Men have to give our boys something physical to aspire to; a way of life with rules and regulations and REWARDS.
Love you brother…keep up the good work. We appreciate you.
I like the Sotonation title too, “like minded brothers” a place to speak. And I love how much better, respectful, and entertaining the column has become with so many different opinions and exchanges, without the namecalling and insult hurling. T deleted somebody yesterday, and I’m glad. We don’t need crap screwing up the column anymore. Take care Dear. ( I think this pic will be my new Sotonation avatar, but I can’t stop giggling over pizza cat.)
Pizza cat is cool. The new pic is more extreme. I’m at a loss for words Mrs. Frannycat…I changed my “avatar” too. My 1 year old akita fur baby Miss Kira.
That’s a great dog, I’ll stick with pizza face for a minute.
If you want, email or facebook sometime. I enjoy my fellow Tommy brother/sisterhood. Take care dear
Half my family is black, out of nine kids on my hubby’s side, not a single one is stupid enough to go or live anywhere near the hood. I don’t understand the embracing of this gun culture, preteen motherhood, education being a joke. Why WOULD Tommy want to be part of that shit? He’s FAULTED for saying this??! Fucken insane.
You have to go there if you want to help. You should never fear your own people
Fuck that, we are all fine where we are at. Who said me and mine even want to help people who stock guns and drugs, we are quite content away from that murderous shit. Think I could survive seeing one of mine with brains and blood oozing? I would do a silent scream until I literally fucken died. Fuck em, they love being bad asses. I could care less about helping. My black Grandaughter started college, I send $ help her way every month. I care for people who care, not murderous thugs. Sounds harsh but America is sick of this garbage and washing their hands, look how many blacks echoed my sentiments in this column, so its not even a white thing anymore.
I agree with you. People romanticize the hood. I’m from there, born and raised but as soon as I turned 18 I got out. I was living a great life for 5 year until I went back and guess what? I was shot while driving down a street but some blacks who ran across my path. I got out again and I’ve never gone back for more than a quick visit. It AIN’T all good in the hood and why this dude is chasing everyone on here to convince us to give up our lives for people who love the hood is beyond logic.

The only thing wrong here is “genocide” in the title. Black boys and black men murdering other black boys and black men won’t mean that the black population will decline at all, much less decline to zero. Women of reproductive age are the population bottleneck in any group of people, females the reproductive time they have are the population bottleneck of any species that uses sexual reproduction.
The reason all these black murders won’t result in genocide is that hardly any black women of reproductive age are the victims.
That is true in addition to the fact that people keep reproducing and
giving birth to children in such a dangerous environment. I feel very
little sympathy for anyone who has children when they are poor AND live
in a neighborhood where violence is at this level and encouraged by a
detrital culture!
That is something that I will never understand why have children if you can’t give them a decent home???????
You have no right to tell someone when they can have a child.
You have lost it. If that is what you interpreted from that post, you are indeed lost. There is no saving you.
Then why waste your time writing a post. Obviously what I said inspired you to say something. If you really believed that you would have not posted anything. Everybody wants to just give up on being Black and Black people in general which is weak. You sound so weak, but there is hope for you. I don’t give up on my people like you do.
They are not my people any more than my white, Asian and Hispanic friends and family. You’re stuck in a plane of fantasy. True leaders always determine the reality first. You have not. You have defined yourself the way the people you dislike have done. I don’t. I’m more than black. You are just that. Black.
Plus, I wanted to get a comment in at you before TJ blocks you. Please. Call me weak all you like. I’m much more of a leader than the ones you get riled up. Thanks for confirming you’re the attention whore that everyone knows you are though.
Now I know attention whores like to keep going after they’ve been dealt with so I’m making this my final post because unlike you, I restrict myself to masculine endeavors unless I’m forced to do otherwise. Brew on that for a bit. I’ll await your response and ignore it.
No one asked you to speak, at all. No one asked for your attention. Tommy doesn’t want everyone to agree with him, he wants debate. Nobody is perfect so stop acting like you are flawless. It’s Sunday and you are dwelling on past conversations I had with other commentors and we didn’t resort to name calling either. Who are you to judge me, you’re not god. Who are you to tell me who I am, you are human. So save your energy and go be a leader like you said. Actions speak louder than words. Stop power tripping and trying to control me. This isn’t your website.
They don’t say anything, because they want to get rid of these savages. So let them take each other out.
There are going to be new savages because there is a war going on. Until the drug war stops the killing wont stop.
Very true.
I want this to stop. These are not savages, these are people.
But I am at a loss to even understand these killings. I have no idea how to help stop it.
Why do you think this violence is happening? And besides not doing drugs, what can I do, as a middle class white woman? Is there anything I can do, besides just shutup and be sad about it? Because it’s not for whites like me to tell any black person what to do, or how to act, or how to think. Why should anybody listen to me, when I don’t even understand the issue?
It’s not that I don’t care. I just don’t know what to do. I don’t know what the right thing is.
Volunteer in your local community. You do NOT want to step foot in those hood zones. But, you can help someone who may be from there, but chose to move of come out to your area. I volunteer with Basketball at the Y in my area and we have a thriving, well to do community. Lakes, trails, parks, tennis, swimming, community gardens, safety patrol, etc. You will find similar situations in these areas though with single or young parents who need help with providing examples of positive male and female influences in their children’s lives.
Don’t get caught up in guilt. It is not your fault. I’m from a place called Oak Cliff, outside Dallas. Look it up and you’ll see I have some experience with hood environments. You do not want to place yourself in harms way just because some internet troll is spouting rhetoric on the “man” being the issue. Protect yourself and help make sure your community does not become the hood.

How sad and ironic. I just did a google of Oak Cliff just to see what would come up and look whats I found.
Shooting In South Oak Cliff Leaves Woman Dead
CBS Local - 1 hour ago
Dallas Police responded to a call of shots being fired about 4:15 am Monday morning in South Oak Cliff along Marvin D Love Freeway just …
The issue is the breakdown of the black family. Some will point to white people this and that. The bottom line is no matter what someone does to you, we all have the choice to move forward or not.
This does not happen in a patriarchy. Change the child support laws to give fathers equal rights and limit the welfare/food stamp/section 8 to 10 years and POOF!! It all becomes more manageable. These are real actions that are in the works now. Not some pie in the sky wish that all people of color come together.
It’s not education or religion that will fix it. They are there for when the situation is stabilized. It’s a lack of a solid framework and lack of guidance that leads to no respect for authority, for ones self, for others and for life. Father’s are very much needed in the black household to restore the black community. Right now, it’s anything goes. And good black men are leaving for non-black women instead of dying off in the bad community, we’re choosing to live in a different community. I did and my children and I are so much more happier for it.
Thank you. I love the last paragraph especially. It’s not for me to judge the rest, because I am nobody to judge. I just hope it works and blacks thrive and prosper.

Why is This Surprising? Chicago Simply Allow This Human Disease Flourish. They Are So Bold With It They Now Shoot, Rob, etc., in Broad Day Light! I Say Put a Fence up Around the South and West Sides of Chicago and Let Those Monkey’s Self Exterminate Themselves! The Black People Who Lives in Those Areas are the Crack Head’s Who Were Only 16-19 Years Old Back in the Year 1989 and Now We Got 3 Going On 4 of the Off Spring of the Crack Head Back in the Day! This Human Virus is What We Are Witnessing Today! Serves Them ALL RIGHT! BANG, BANG, Bang! Problem Solved!
Its OK if we kill each other
Keep telling it like it is Tommy
I live in Chicago your right
Damn it black people we gotta do better
Hood-people have no sense, no discretion, no foresight, and no judgment. Hood-people will gladly kill each other over land they don’t own (this my block, nicca!), over hurt feelings (he disrespeck’d me!), and over the contents of another black man’s pockets.
What sort of community can you have when you glorify the destruction of your own people? Let me guess, it’s not your fault. The white cave-people made you do it. Now turn up that new Weezy track.
Infallable, 100% proof that white people are cave dwellers!
you like laughing at your own jokes while everyone else makes silent judgements against you
And your silent judgment Sir, matters not one bit to me. What should I say when called a cave dweller all the time? Respond like a hateful moron with the “n” word, and alienate all the people I am kin to, my own children, husband, and also alienate my “brothers” on this column? No, best too diffuse it and move on. I am far from the the first one to be called stupid names, and whilst I appreciate your opinion, I don’t actually, I will still continue to follow my “like minded” friends and not worry about one small mind of dissent. Blacks get called much worse, I can poke.fun at myself. But you take care and have a nice day.
That is why I say there is no such thing as a black community just a bunch of individuals who “wanna do what they wanna do”.
There is a black community and we are being used as pawns. We either sell drugs or work for the man either way we are fucked. The only way out is to build our own.
You don’t understand what is going on in every inner city. These places are for Americans to get their drug fix. Someone is funding these criminals and it is the drug habits of Americans who are funding it. Guns aren’t cheap. You have to have money to fund a genocide. Where is this money coming from? It is coming from drug users because our government has a stupid war on drugs.
“You don’t understand what is going on in every inner city.”
You explained it perfectly above. Hood-people acting like nihilists and killing over hurt feelings and wounded pride. Not really that complicated.
“Someone is funding these criminals and it is the drug habits of Americans who are funding it.”
That argument was just as stupid 80 years ago when the alcohol prohibitionists made it as it is today.
“Guns aren’t cheap.”
Correction: GOOD guns aren’t cheap. But, that, like most of the gun control legislation in America, was to make sure black people couldn’t readily arm themselves.
And there is no point in my replying to the rest as 1) it is purely speculative garbage free of reasoning or evidence and 2)Already been answered above (the White Devil did not, in fact, make you pull the trigger).
Go to the inner city and see for yourself. That’s my evidence. You obviously sit on the internet all day if you can’t see drug areas are the biggest sources of crime.
That’s not evidence. That’s just an inappropriate appeal to authority (only hood-people can speak about things happening in the hood, just like only women can speak about birth control/abortion/etc., only people who have put their penises on hot stoves can speak about putting their penises on hot stoves). One does not need experience to objectively assess a things costs and/or benefits.
Who just buys a gun besides people who sell drugs. Only drug dealers or someone in a drug gang carries guns.
“Who just buys a gun besides people who sell drugs.”
George Zimmerman, obviously.
…and those who own businesses in those neighborhoods
but those guns aren’t the guns doing the killing now are they.
I think this conversation is much too serious for internet memes, though.
The reason why black people kill because in the streets respect is everything. You can get killed for talking to someone the wrong way.
“The reason why black people kill because in the streets respect is everything.”
Except for respect for human life. Hood-people know their lives aren’t worth a thing, and project that on to everyone they meet.
“You can get killed for talking to someone the wrong way.
”
Yep, because nothing says “I’m a real nigga!” like killing someone over hurt feelings.
Stay real, niggas. Stay real.
However, kids are being raised by this culture. And to say fuck the black community means to give up on these kids, too. Thats is how we can make a change.
“However, kids are being raised by this culture.”
So you’re concurring with Tommy’s statement that the single black mother is the worst steward of children in America? To say that “change” is needed is to imply that black culture is in whole, or at least, in part, defective. And to say that the culture that needs to change is raising the kids implies that the kids being raised by the culture are also defective in some way as a result of that culture.
Where are the men? Who blames their problems on women? Sounds kind of weak to me.
“Where are the men?”
Jail, cemetery, elsewhere. Now, look at who raised a generation of “ain’t shit” black men to be in the jail, cemetery, elsewhere. Oh right, single black women.
“Who blames their problems on women?”
People who have problems resulting from the actions of women.
“Sounds kind of weak to me.”
I’m sure it does,Grand Arbiter of Manhood.
You hit the nail on the head, THE MEN ARE NOT THERE TO RAISE THEIR OWN BLOOD, Until that changes then you can talk about black women. Look in the mirror and stop looking for someone else the blame. We are the men so we need to act like men and stop acting like cowards blaming women for our mistakes. Stop being weak. Tommy is trying to rationalize his lust for white women by degrading black women and himself. I see through it, though.
WORD!
“You can get killed for talking to someone the wrong way.”
You can get murdered just for Looking at someone hard. Because in the year 2014, you wouldn’t be the first person – or the tenth person – or the hundredth person – to die from a staredown. And that’s real.
That’s why I say there isn’t one we don’t own shit or not enough of us do.
That is a very materialistic point of view. What should binds us together is our spirituality, our culture. Jewish people understand this. When I say culture, I mean our African culture that we know nothing about.
That sounds great in a fantasy world but in the real world you must control things. By not owning things we can’t provide jobs for ourselves. Looke at the hood what do we own? Nothing, I see Arabs selling fried chicken, Chinese have the dry cleaning, Puerto Ricans and Dominicans own the corner stores. Indians own the motels and liquor stores. All that money leaves the community at the end of the day. Jewish people understand this so they own things, the TV stations, magazines, lawyers, doctors, banks real estate, they have mastered the business world.They reinforce their culture through their house of worship which prevents them from having a high street crime rate. Africa is a continent with many cultures and not all of them are good take whatever is worthy if you need to. Study what allowed them to fail and not make the same mistakes. Observe what other people do and borrow from them make improvements if need be.
Before jewish people and arabs had anything they had a culture that connected them. Before the material there is the spiritual. You have to have a plan first.
Until we have a plan as a people we are going nowhere. That is our problem, we are not connected. That is why I said we need spirituality, we need to find our destiny as a people. If all we do is complain all we are going to create is more things to complain about. If we have a plan and a solution than we can execute, until then we are just going to be upset and miserable.
Like I said there is no Black community, we don’t have a real culture to build on.
we have no culture because of ignorance. open a book.
The problem is no one is educating our youth. It isn’t their fault. The people that came before them let them run loose in the streets without knowledge of self. You don’t even have knowledge of self. You just like everyone else.
Bahu-yuddha, infallable 100% proof white people are cave dwellers!
And that’s what you take away from the video? SMDH
No, my disgust goes through the ceiling, I can’t stand innercity thugs, am not impressed with Jordans, i have mad respect for black men that hold jobs from warehouse workers to presidents, and am so damn glad I don’t and wouldnt never codone this gun mentality, pre-teen pregnancies bullshit and celebrate welfare. THAT’S what I really feel, but now I’ll be called a racist bitch for saying, how in the hell does a community raise kids to sag their pants by age 3? And of course its whitey’s fault when like one woman said, we are sitting home watching reruns of Seinfield while assholes get songs of RAP STARDOM glory written about busting caps into folks. That’s how I really feel, but since I can’t say these things without being a racist bitch, I hide it with lame jokes about the latest stupid name white folks are called. Is that better?
too many guns!! in a place that has the strictest laws in the country that only puts guns in the hands of criminals! the city official in the video should be immidiately fired. what a disgusting sack of potatos. chicago is a demented liberal city that is doomed…
“our stategies are in place” says the official. clearly sir they are!
OMG the jerkoff can’t even answer the lady’s question: “what can people do to protect themselves” Clearly because the answer is GET A FUCKING GUN!!
Everybody who needs a gun already has one in Chicago. The underlying issue is blood money.
Agreed to an extent. I believe the White people are not in danger for the most part. It’s black on black. The best thing to do is move. Get out of there. But just like Katrina victims, these people have positioned themselves to be cared for by the government so moving is like an impossibility to them. Like the slaves that when freed, chose to stay instead of move on. So guns here is not the solution imo. But if I lived there, and I never would for long – like, a week – I’d pack a gun for sure.
Btw, I’m a gun advocate. Check out gunssaveslives dot net for stories on self defense where the good citizen actually saves themselves, others, and defends their property DAILY using hand guns and rifles. It’s what CNN will never show you.
SOTONATION RISE UP!!!!!!SOTONATION strikes fear in the hearts of its enemies!!!!!!
Love the hell out of your commentary. Take care dear!
SOTONATION has formed and assembled and niggas are scared…HAHAHAHA I love it!!!!
Why do you want to scare people. Try scaring a man with a gun who will blow your brains out. You want respect, not fear.
Hey Tommy this is off topic but I just watched this video by this girl Chapter Jackson, it was disturbing but it illustrated the affects of A Fatherless America, I don’t know if I like the way she brought it but it definitely got my attention. Go look at Chapter Jackson Big O Butt on youtube it was also on WSHH today.
Chapter is no holds. I like her stuff. She needs a record deal! No “I’m so fancy” chick.
Oh and about the Beyonce “petition” well Bey might not comb Blue’s hair but I’ll bet Blue’s college tuition is already paid
Mother earth
That’s why I can’t wait to get outta this city. I can’t imagine hell being any worse than Chicago is right now. And this is coming from somebody who was born and raised here.
Yes, apply for jobs elsewhere and move to somewhere safer, like Central Kentucky. I hope you stay safe and get out.
You niggers, huh. The only way to stop this problem is to get the drugs out of our communities. The mexican cartels are bringing drugs into Chicago and white people are buying the drugs. Until our government legalizes drugs this is not going to stop. The government is keeing these drugs illegal because it makes them a huge profit. White supremacy is the problem.
:/
This is a systematic problem. All the money we spend on the drug war could be spent on education and skill training. Drugs are worth more than gold in America. Until we drop the value of these drugs by increasing the supply, INCREASING, drugs are always going to be a problem and we are going to kill each other for profit. This is why there is black on black crime. We need to get the drugs out and stop doing business with the cartels. Better be prepared to die if you are fighting this war, no one plays fair. The police and the gangsters have guns. Mothers are powerless because their sons are becoming killers at younger and younger ages.
I agree with ending the drug war. It has been a huge and costly failure.
But how can we avoid having urban areas overrun with crack and increasing the number of addicts and dealers?
Education on the real effects of the things we consume is the only way.
Stop the free stuff to mothers who just lay down with any man. The issue is not drugs. That’s a symptom. THe issue is there is no structure in the black family because the woman is in charge. White society is held together by the father’s leadership. Every other point e.g. drugs, education, or anything can be laid before the people on a golden platter and they will not embrace it for lack of fatherly leadership.
People are going to use drugs whether we like it or not. We need to be honest and educate people on the effects of drugs and legalize them. 90% of heroin users are white, let them sell it so that we can stop being their supplier.
You are a little off by saying fuck the black community. We are just another pawn in this war on drugs.
I’m not going to complain, I just want to find solutions. What can be done to cure this? And how do we start to implement it? I’m not going to talk about being disappointed because that is obvious. I’m willing to fight for the right thing if anybody else is. No more black on black crime!
