Bad people are not killing other bad people fast enough. What can be done to help?

hey must have great forensics people there.

The 5th guy was dead for days or weeks and no one seems to know which. Probably no one cares either.

Frank Sinatra used to sing my kind of town. Chicago is.,

Should have been Charlie Manson singing it.

Have you noticed that white men killing black kids gets a lot of media attention? That’s why your idea won’t work. No one cares if a black kid kills another black kid.

I suspect this is the endgame for babies whose sole purpose in life was to help their mamas qualify for more welfare. No family structure, no values, just what the gangs are looking for.

“April 07, 2013 @ 06:00PM

Looking for like-minded Christians?

Over the years, we’ve learned that strong relationships with like-minded Christians can help overcome the sense of loneliness and isolation that often accompanies a life committed to CCD ministry. To help you build valuable supportive relationships, reach out to others who might be in your boat. Find a CCD practitioner organization in your neighborhood.”

From the masthead of the ccda website: I thought christian ministries were supposed to be devoted to spreading the word of God?

“A life committed to CCD ministry”? Sounds screwy to me.

HERE YOU GO... AS CHARLIE SHEEN SAYS....”WINNING!
It turns out no one can top us.

Among what are considered Alpha world cities, Chicago has the highest murder rate — higher even than the Third World metropolises of Mexico City and Sao Paolo.

Here’s how we rank in murders per 100,000 among cities we consider our peers, based on a projected murder total of 505 for this year.

Singapore 0.4
Tokyo 0.5
Hong Kong 0.6
Berlin 1.0
Sydney 1.0
London 1.4
Toronto 1.7
Amsterdam 1.8
Paris 4.4
New York 6.0
Los Angeles 7.5
Mexico City 8.0
Moscow 9.6
Sao Paulo 15.6
Chicago 19.4

We could be doing worse: Caracas.

“It’s Bush’s fault.”

You know, that’s not all hyperbole. Bush, at the end of the day was the shits of a president (even though he was light years more patriotic than FUBO). Bush, by his poor quality leadership, and his endless wars, “gave” us Obama. And even now, Jeb is warming up in the bullpen. I hope the bastard has a heart attack before he gets on another ballot. Screw all of the Bushes, they are/were almost as bad as the Kennedy’s! Yeah, the RATs beat the “It’s Bushes Fault” drum, but it plays because there is some truth to it. Just wait and see, Jeb will likely be the 2016 “GOP It’s My Turn Candidate.”

This is an organization that promotes a social gospel. This one is very much about redistributing wealth to black neighborhoods.

It is Obama faith based organization promoted for “closing the gap” , and one that preys upon congregations and communities by teaching radical socialism, and community activism to progressive churches.

This is one of the organizations that is controlling the evangelical population- as well as stirring up class warfare in the poor neighborhoods. It is crazy, absolutely crazy.

This organization started on the South Side of Chicago, 20 ish years ago, if I remember correctly.

Look up Dr. John Perkins (and the curious case of the lying law student).

Spread it around. This is one group that gets tax funding to take the church of Jesus apart, and make Christians progressive minded socialists. These people also stir up hatred in communities, and increase crime in soft areas.

There are 24 churches or ministries, based on racial hatred, in a 20 mile radius of downtown Chicago.

Coinky dink? I think not.

Typical Friday night in CHI-Town.

I notice the series Boss was cancelled. About corruption in Chicago. I guess it was too tame for the reality of the city.

Wonder where/why the NAACP and the rest of the civilized black populace is/are so silent on this murderous rampage by the black gangs in Chitown? Their hypocrisy knows no bounds?

You are right.
No one cared when Mafiosi killed each other so why should this be different.
Let them kill each other & let God deal with them on the other end.

I’m still searching for a reason anyone should care about what sort of mayhem goes on in Chicago. Let them deal with it. It is as lost as the rest of Obama’s America.
