They were mentally ill when they did the shootings.

They don’t bother with Chicago because it has no political benefit. Chicago has some of the strictest guns laws in the US. They don’t want to showcase the failure that the more controlling laws are.

My guess is that Obama tries to take advantage of news of killings by persons NOT of a certain color and background.

Besides, if they lowered the flags every time someone was killed in Chicago, they'd never fly at the top of the pole again.

And how many troop deaths in Afghanistan?

What are we doing for them other than one coffin flag?

Illinois isn't a swing state. Colorado could be. Plus, if you keep enough Americans in the dark about certain crimes, they will never know. Ignorance is bliss. Obama’s interests are not only diluted but self-serving.

Maybe Obama’s white half doesn’t like black people.

But isn’t Chicago a gun-free city?

Those murders don’t help their agenda.

Hey Rahm, is this one of your opportunities that you don't let go to waste?
