We do not need to have a conversation about gun violence. We need to have a conversation about Chicago. I love this quote. My dad had a version of it when I was growing up.
I am from Oakland and my dad always said it was such a great city until the democrats took it over. The last GOP mayor in Oakland was elected in 1962 and since that time it became the city you are all now leery of (I’m speaking in general terms of course).
All the major cities have been trashed by the Dems and they have the nerve to lecture the GOP. No wonder Trump has momentum.
The problem with the Dems is that their minds are so open, their brains fall out of their heads.

I lived in Oakland right after the end of WWII (from 1947 to 1949) in a very nice apartment house at 410 Fairmont Avenue just a few blocks from Lake Merritt. I went there the other day while in Oakland for another reason. It’s now a black ghetto! The author is wrong! We don’t have a Democrat problem, we have a Black Democrat Problem! Oakland went Democrat in the 1960’s and has morphed to Black Democrat leadership (with the exception of the reign of Jerry The Fairy Brown and one nutty Chinese Commie woman). While the city goes under, the city council members fight over preferred parking places at city hall. In closing, I would add that my old neighborhood isn’t where most of the killing takes place. That’s reserved for East Oakland, a place you don’t dare go during the day.
