Wow, they really know how to celebrate Dependence Day in Chicago. Since the start of the holiday weekend, 14 people have been killed and 82 shot according to the Chicago Tribune. In other circumstances a death toll like that would be considered a mass shooting.

What Chicago needs is a Mayor who is a good friend to a former Chicago Community Organizer, preferably an Ivy-League Academic with some Black genetics.

FORWARD!

Gang members are poor shots.

I knew someone from the Chicagoland area that said that we should train the gang members how to shoot so that less innocent people are killed in drivebys.

Socialist politicians + plus Gun Free Zones equals a lot of shooting

Since 2001 more than 5,000 people have been killed by gunfire in Chicago, and during that same period 2,000 U.S. troops were killed in Afghanistan, Chicago’s WBEZ 91.5 reported.

Typical thuggish liberal lunacy to want to enact more anti firearm laws, even when it is obvious that firearms are not the root of the problem. Big city gangs and the spiraling gun violence is a symptom of the illegal drug culture. The firearm is only a tool used by that culture to deliver a message. Law enforcement emphasis should be on stopping the saturation of drugs into our cities and communities and our borders and ports. Unfortunately there is too much money being made in the drug trade for everyone involved, including those legitimate businesses that launder the drug money. One remedy: punishment should be a serious deterrent thus a swiftly executed death penalty should apply to all who are convicted of financing, money laundering, smuggling and or selling illicit drugs in the US.

Apparently Caliph Baraq’s community organizing was effective at providing federal gravy and ineffective at imparting respect for human life.

“Apparently Caliph Baraq’s community organizing was effective at providing federal gravy and ineffective at imparting respect for human life.”

Have you considered the shootings in Chicongo reflect the residents respect for, and knowledge of, each other.

Perhaps they know something about themselves we don’t?

It seems they are part of a dangerously violent tribe, not citizens of America who have internalized America’s beliefs and behaviors.
