Did somebody at the tournament not take a knee when the video game started playing the national anthem?
Not even close to a Chicago weekend.
No confirmation that was the motive for the shooting.
I agree with your basic premise that gang membership is ‘cultural’, but don't agree that there are no deterrents. There are carrots and sticks that will help, but we haven't identified the right approach yet. ‘Cultural’, in my view, is not specific to any race or ethnicity, but is part of a cultural microcosm that equates gang membership with manhood, power, personal freedom, personal ‘principle’, and wealth. It's a skewed world view, but we've done a very poor job convincing inner city youth of this. It's a ‘bad boy’ cool culture, which is much more of a draw than being a ‘college kid’ labeled as ‘acting white’.
Somehow, we need to get the truth out that being a caring, unselfish, hard-working, giving person requires much more internal strength and toughness than being a go-with-the-flow gang member. If Hollywood wasn't so self-absorbed and clueless they might be able to help.
CNN: “They” were shooting at us...
Apparently there was another shooting after a ‘real’ football game in Jacksonville last night.
So maybe they will soon catch up to Chicago.
Has Camera Hogg arrived yet?
Yeah, the local ABC station is saying that the police pushed them back another two blocks or so..
And the Sheriff’s department is saying “Stay hidden, do not come out until we come and get you.
Use anesthesia and it won’t be cruel. Do it enough times and it won’t be unusual.
Yes castrations would help. Slow torture to death another. But regular executions en masse would get rid of the scum en masse. As preventive measure it would get rId of all the major offenders. Those on the fringe would stop their activity. As the opportunities for good jobs brought in by Trump would also help bring fringe wannabe gangsters into line.
It may take a while, Isn't he in Massachusetts protesting at S&W Headquarters?
Always starts with reports of a second shooter then magically it ends up just one.
How many times has he used the F word there?
Convicted of gang membership, lose citizenship and get a one way exile to a west african nation.
At a video game tournament. Four dead and eleven injured. Shooter is dead.
Local people are stating in comments posted on the internet news sites that it appears to be related to black gang activity.
Wanaabee Somali Warlords ?
Because you know it Pays so well. And you get to wear those fancy straw hats.
Considering the location it’s not surprising.
And of course everyone is demanding guns be banned. 0ne of the local anchors is even reading ‘text messages from viewers’ who demand that guns be banned, and the reporters on the street on my raw feed are seeking out people to demand on camera that guns be banned.
Again it is the gun’s fault, not the shooter’s.
And did you know that Twitter, Disqus, and Facebook ALL CENSOR certain conservative firearm and abortion speech? See this: It is worth noting that both Disqus and Fakebook CENSOR any mention of a website, www.CodeIsFreeSpeech.com that provides FREE downloads of 3D-printable firearm blueprints. And, since Facebook/Disqus logins are so prevalent for posting commentary across the Internet, they are very effectively suppressing this “Forbidden Knowledge” almost EVERYWHERE. Please go to the website, download some or all 10 of the free blueprints, and then, repost it to your friends and across the Internet, to the extent you can. Strike a BLOW against Fakebook and judicial CENSORSHIP! Support TWO amendments at once, the First and the Second. Because they WILL try to take them all away!
