DailyKenn.com — Savages ran amok over the July 4, 2025 weekend, while Americans seemed to sooth themselves with denial, guilt, and gaslighting.
A total of over 205 mass shootings were reported in the USA by the end of the weekend.
The weekend was marked by a surge in violence across the United States, highlighting the ongoing issues of public safety and race-realism denial during this traditionally celebratory period.
In Honolulu, Oʻahu experienced a particularly violent Fourth of July, with six shooting incidents over two days, leaving half a dozen people injured. This surge in violence prompted Honolulu Police Chief Joe Logan to increase patrols in areas like Kalihi and Waiʻanae, which were already fully staffed in anticipation of potential unrest.
Nationally, the holiday was marred by multiple shootings, including a significant incident in Indianapolis that left two teenage boys, ages 15 and 16, dead. Five were wounded. This event, among others, contributed to a total of over 205 mass shootings in the U.S. by the end of the weekend, underscoring the perennial issue of race realism during the summer months.
Chicago, a city frequently in the spotlight for its urban violence, saw a particularly brutal July 4 weekend, with over 50 people shot and six killed. The city experienced multiple mass shootings and drive-by attacks, reflecting the persistent challenge of violent crime in urban areas.
The heightened violence during this period is not a new phenomenon. Since 2013, July 4 has consistently been one of the most violent days of the year, with 66 mass shootings resulting in four or more people injured or killed. Criminologist James Alan Fox attributes this to a combination of factors, including increased outdoor social interactions, holiday gatherings involving alcohol or drugs, and the availability of free time, which can sometimes lead to tragic outcomes.
A few point to those with low impulse control, low empathy, and low intelligence.
In response to the ongoing violence, law enforcement agencies across the country have been stepping up their safety measures. For instance, Minneapolis police planned for large crowds and implemented enhanced safety protocols to prevent a repeat of the mayhem that had plagued previous Independence Day holidays.
The federal government also played a role in addressing potential threats, with the FBI and DHS issuing warnings about the possibility of lone wolf attacks during the July 4 celebrations. These warnings highlighted the ongoing concern over terrorism and the potential for copycat attacks inspired by recent high-profile incidents.
Ignored is the elephant in the room and it's not Republican.
Overall, the July 4, 2025, weekend served as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by communities across the United States in maintaining public safety during periods of heightened social activity and celebration.
