I saw that statistic in the Greenfield article (as always, the man is on fire intellectually) and instinctively knew that if looked at (as your post displays) it would be events such as these.
Leftists don’t care about honesty. They care about power, and imposing their will on others. And when they cry their crocodile tears, they don’t care about victims of gun violence, they care about power and ideology.
If they actually did care, they would speak up about the carnage in cities like Baltimore and Chicago. The fact that they are quiet as a tomb on these things (when they aren’t openly blaming police or white society) amply demonstrates that.
