Chicago saw its deadliest day in at least 60 years last month, with 18 killings within a 24-hour period on 31 May.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said that on 31 May, the city's 911 emergency call centre received 65,000 calls - 50,000 more than on an average day.

Note: speculation beyond this point:
"We've never seen anything like it, at all," senior research director Max Kapustin told the newspaper, noting that the Crime Lab's data only goes back as far as 1961.

"I don't even know how to put it into context," he said. "It's beyond anything that we've ever seen before."

Mr Kapustin added that protests over Mr Floyd's 25 May death in police custody may have distracted Chicago Police Department (CPD) resources from normal patrol duties.

"When CPD has to turn its attention elsewhere and there's suddenly this vacuum that opens up, you also unfortunately see a picture like you saw with [last] weekend where you see an absurd amount of carnage, people getting injured and killed," he said.

Strange how BLM doesn't start any movements over black people in poor communities killing each other.

I wonder if it has something to do with bad people knowing where looters are stashing their ill gotten gains, and robbing them for it.

And what's really going to blow minds is that a majority of this violence occurs in 4-6 out of 77 community areas in the city.

The tl;dr from multiple articles is that the moment police diverted their resources to managing the protests/riots, criminals in higher crime areas took that as a "mods are asleep, post crime" moment and just started running rampant.

wtf are you talking about? yes they do. just because you're ignorant to it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. plenty of people within the community fight for it and many programs are set up to help inner city youth avoid that life (which im sure you cry about because they won't let suburban kids like you in or something).

Those people are just smart enough to understand that you can talk about two problems, unlike yourself, who is too simple minded to do that. Apparently because black on black crime exists we shouldn't demand better from the cops? and you think you're the smart one in all of this.

It's been going on for years. Every weekend here in Chicago the news is riddled about blacks killing blacks but who cares cuz racism is more evil than murder

no, we're not..why do you people keep saying "getting rid of"? jfc stop being so dense. Its also Chicago, this happens there every weekend. They break this record a lot. stop acting like protesting the cops poor actions is whats causing this. The entire nation is protesting and cops are being diverted (needlessly, mind you, they don't need an entire force to pointlessly beat and tear gas peaceful people) all over. Is this happening everywhere? Go ask any BLM supporter protesting. i doubt the majority will condone gang violence. But its not something that's going to be fixed the same way as fixing the police force is. As i said above, plenty of people talk about it and do things within the community. Your ignorance to it is not their fault.
