Since black people were the main ones being shot, I guess our beloved elected officials believed it was black on black crime.. Since news broke it was a white man, and black people here has been saying its possibly a serial highway shooter, the media has been pretty much silent on the story. They've mentioned once on the day it happened, but absolutely nothing else since then. Im sure if it was a black person doing all the shootings, it would've been covered with more depth..
And the CAC was from Blue Island which is a pretty conservative suburb.. Probably was a Trump supporter..
