our own Lawrence Jones in the
ground in Chicago
Lawrence. Last time you were in
Chicago, you interviewed the
family that lost at 7 year old
young girl, beautiful little
girl.
He interviewed that family.
That was on the fourth of July
weekend,
whats going on there now
good evening, Sean
right now in downtown Chicago,
its pretty peaceful,
but on the south side the
bloodbath continues.
Over the weekend, fifty nine people were
shocked.
Three people were killed and
right before we got on air, we
got word from our sources that
five people were shot.
Unfortunately, we dont know
their condition Sean, but
earlier today I went and talked
with residents on the south side
to get how theyre feeling about
this bloodbath in their city.
Take a look.
Youve got over fifty people shot
over the weekend
correct in fourteen people at the
funeral home
thats around the corner from my
house,
I drive past it all the time
I could have been a victim of
that just writing past.
What do you do? Just
normalize it
its not normal?
I dont want to do
its crazy.
Our children
yall do nothing to help our
kids.
You dont care anymore.
You dont think the leaders
care
we know they dont care,
sending in federal agents.
Whats your stance.
Well, I have heard some
comments from
Mayor Lori Lightfoot and she
dont want that type of action
in our city,
but im for it.
Weve got to do what weve got
to do
im going to tell you the
honest to gods. Truth,
you have to come together and
pray.
Prayer is. The only thing is
going to help us right now:
prayer
Sean, as we were talking with
those people right there. On the
south side, we got another tip
from one of our sources that
told us that a ten
month year old was shot and is
in critical condition.
We went if you look at the
screen. Youll see some of the
videotape of the crime scene.
This goes to have the parents
are feeling
we talked to a business owner,
hes afraid for the sake of his
child.
He said he cant go there and
play with him
heres what he has to say.
Who is responsible for this,
its a trickle down effect?
It comes from the top.
It comes from the people in
charge of the city.
It comes from the people in
charge of the state.
What makes me upset is that I
applied to be able to purchase
firearms March 25th.
They are not giving you the
opportunity to protect yourself
and your family.
They are not giving me the
opportunity to protect myself.
I can protect myself.
I need something to be able to
protect my wife, my children
and my child to be,
I feel, scared living in the city
of Chicago,
I think its a nightmare.
I have nightmares of leaving the
house and being assaulted
because im not able to protect
my family
Sean, an emotional interview
from the business owner whos
been in Chicago his entire life.
He says hes considering moving.
I am reaching out to city
officials to ask them. Why is it
so hard for residents to get
guns when you have criminals
every single day? Having guns
illegally
back to you, Sean.
