During the trial of George Zimmerman in urban Chicago shootings claimed the lives of many young people, including many young black men. Over the roughly month-long period from the commencement of jury selection on June 10 to the announcement of the verdict on July 12, the city of Chicago alone suffered a total of 61 murders, an average of 1.85 deaths per day. According to data available on the Chicago Tribune’s RedEye website, 52 of those killed were black, 43 were black males, and seven were children under the age of 18. All of this in a City with the toughest gun laws in the nation. Why do we not hear about these deaths like we did with Treyvon Martin?
