Holiday violence: Where are the protesters now?

“87 shot, 17 fatally, in Chicago July 4th weekend violence, police say”

“Fourth of July weekend shootings result in deaths of at least six children across US”

Where is the public outrage? Where are the protests? People should be marching against the people who commit these crimes. But nobody is. Why not?
