May was a bloody month in Chicago - 66 dead and nearly 400 shot
LA Times ^ | June 1, 2016 | Alexandra Chachkevitch and Rosemary Regina Sobol

The month's toll was fueled by a Memorial Day weekend in which six people were killed and 63 wounded, and a Mother's Day weekend when more than 50 people were shot, eight fatally. That brought the total number of people shot in Chicago so far this year to more than 1,500. At least 250 of them have died.

Chicago police say the violence has been stoked by gang conflicts and a proliferation of guns, mixed with weak gun law enforcement.

This wouldn't happen if we could confiscate all guns ... raise the minimum wage to $15 ... increase teacher pay ... play more midnight basketball ... hire 200 more community organizers ... enact a carbon tax to reverse global warming ... stop threatening to deport illegal aliens ... provide blacks with a place to destroy ... give college students their safe space ... and let drag queens use women's restrooms!

The entire justice system in Chicago must have been bribed to look the other way.

APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.

WHY IS THIS SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENT BLACKS BEING MET WITH force? I do not understand the abandonment of these innocent lives!! Children being shot in their beds with drive bys. Why are these gangs not “TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS”? We need drones and house to house with combat troops. The statistics are horrendous . Innocent black children and teenagers ding every day. Some one get some Balls!! GO TRUMP!!

But the media ignored that and spent an inordinate time on the gorilla shooting.

What'll "fuel" it next month? Ramadan? The summer solstice?

Certainly not Father's Day. ....unless there's a Baby Daddy Day equivalent.

1500 shot and only 250 dead? More range time needed.

Why is the mom sleeping while her son is out prowling the streets at 10:30-10:45 pm, on a Tuesday night? Remember those commercials back when America was a country? “It’s 10 o’clock. Do you know where your children are?”

No mention of this wonderful “new normal” economy, I see...

It only matters when a Black criminal is killed by a White police officer. Otherwise, it’s business as usual.

And still, there are Liberal Socialist DemoRat thugs left in Chicago.

How many days do we have to add to the Memorial Day weekend to get rid of 'em all?

The funny thing about wars is that they end.
