Between 1882 and 1968 (86 years) the highest estimate is that 3,446 blacks were lynched in the entire United States.

Meanwhile, during only these past 10 months in Chicago, approx. 2,200 blacks were shot, out of 2300 total shootings — just within the Chicago City limits.

It's unreasonable to place too much importance on these numbers at this time.

The year is ony 75% over.

And we can see that the good people of Chicago are doing their best to catch up and perhaps even take the lead. .

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is urging a fresh and more proactive approach to gun control.

Of course he is because a half century of fresh gun control is sitting there spoiling.

Day after day, alone in the Loop
The man with the foolish grin is still talking gun control poop,
No Conservatives want to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives a logical answer

But the fool in the Loop
Sees the sun going down
And the head on his neck
Feel the room spinning around

Well on the way, head in a cloud
The man who bans guns is talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him
The gang thugs keep purchasing guns
The only ones safe in Chicago are conceal permit carrying nuns.

But the fool in the Loop
Sees the bodies going down
And the eyes in his head
Makes more Gun Free Zones all around

And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows intelligence

But the fool in the Loop
Sees the common sense going down
And the eyes in his head
See Chicagoans hitting the ground

He never listens to them
He knows that they're the fools
They don't like him

But the fool in the Loop
Sees the bodies going down
And the eyes in his head
Makes more Gun Free Zones all around

More gun control laws = more shootings.

Rahm thinks the reason for the shootings is:

#1 Guns compel people to shoot.

#2 Electrolytes –It’s what plants crave!

But there is no Whitey to blame, so no one cares.

At least 2,300 people have been shot in Chicago this year alone,

Pikers!!! I lived in Manhattan in the 90s when the murder rate was over 2,000, being wounded didn't count.

The media didn't even count the wounded, cripes, that was prolly over 5,000.

The local media was openly 'rooting' for 2,000 near the year end when the murder count was in the high 1,900s and the local hoods did their part by killing at a record rate for the Christmas Holidays, thereby being victorious and reaching the common goal...2,000...2,000...2,000...YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

I guess black deaths are only meaningful when they occur at by the hand of whitey!
“Between 1882 and 1968 (86 years) the highest estimate is that 3,446 blacks were lynched in the entire United States.”
What a statistic!!!
I hate liberals and their hysterical crying for action.
For only certain things!!!!
What hypocrites!!
Liberalism is most certainly a mental disorder!!!!

Take it in the alley. That was Rahm’s answer to all the shootings.

The only fresh approach left for the ballerina mayor is to let his citizens be armed.

Heh heh! I normally catch those, being an instinctive proofreader. Funny one.

Mayor Urges Every Chicago Resident Who Has Been Shot in the Past Week to Remain Indoors at All Times. Previous victims are the most likely to be shot again!

"But there is no Whitey to blame, so no one cares."

Wrong...Evil Whitey is ALWAYS!!! blamed for black problems if he's around or not. Believe me, I've read enough articles by black and white lib scribblers who blame ..ta da!!!...White Supremacy for blacks killing other blacks.

How whites through White Supremacy make blacks pick up guns and shoot each other might seem like lunacy to normal people, but to black lunatics activists it makes perfect sense.

At least 2,300 people have been shot in Chicago this year alone, according to the Chicago Tribune. According to their analysis, that's roughly 400 more incidents than during the same period in 2014.

Come on - you people aren't trying...

Chicago should get rid of their Reasonable/Common Sense Gun Laws.

It might help.
