JUSTICE FOR ALL?: Pastor in Democrat-run city demands 'same level of attention' for unseen victims as nearby parade shooting deaths.

Chicago police surround a house in the 6300 block of South Bishop Street after a police officer was shot nearby on Wednesday, June 1, 2022.

He said June was particularly bad. In one week, Grooms buried four men all younger than 21, including an 18-year-old he'd mentored.Grooms said every week he gets"a phone call in the middle of the night or during the day about somebody that I know or that is a friend of somebody that I know that has been either shot or killed by gun violence."

"This last one that I lost was extremely close," Grooms said."When we went in to identify the body and … they pulled that sheet from over him, and you saw his mouth open, and I saw his eyes, and I looked over at his mother, and I heard a scream that only a mother could give." By comparison,"you can get political brownie points just by showing up" in affluent communities like Highland Park, Grooms told Fox News.
