Black Live obviously don't matter in Chicago. What will it take for people to come to their senses. This mayor is about the scariest thing kids can see on TV these days!

I don't know how my white privilege got all the way from Vegas to Chicago, but I'm really sorry.

A serious question - -
Of the 67 shot (so far),
Were the 13 fatalities (so far) intended? If so, their marksmanship is atrocious
If no fatalities intended, well.... their marksmanship is only slightly better

Reading about these multiple shootings week-end after week-end one begins to think these attacks are all choreographed, planned by those who want us to live in a state of fear. It will begin to happen in White neighborhoods as well, it's just a matter of time.

And she claims to worry about people catching the Corona Virus. She is not worried about anyone but herself.

Meanwhile, she has the police guarding the lakefront to keep the public from being on the beaches. And no, I'm not joking.

For the last month, blacks in Chicago have proven blacks don't matter to them.

Remember when Uncle Commie Walter would always include the weekly casualty count when reporting on the Vietnam War? Remember the Commie Left media crying and bewailing every soldier's death in Afghanistan and Iraq? IIRC, those numbers pale in comparison to a weekend in Chicago. These concerned voices once denounced all American deaths in a far away countries at the hands of foreigners. These same concerned voices are now silent regarding black American deaths in just one of our cities at the hands of fellow black Americans, while mindlessly chanting, "Black lives matter!"
Indeed, "silence is violence." Not much projection/displacement in that slogan at all! /s

Here in Florida where almost everyone I know has taken to carrying protection - no news. How could that be?

Evidently those tough Chitown gun laws aren't working so well.
That, and the unfortunate reality that lives really don't matter to some people in the neighborhood.
There's no fixing this you know. At least, not as long as "politics is always local." Sorry.
I actually lived in Chicago back in the early 80s during my travelling days. If I was there now I'd pack up and move to Syria or Afghanistan where it's comparatively more safe.
Chicago still has the best hotdog though, so there's that. The pizza is a little too doughy for me.

Chicago 13 for 67
NYC 2 for 30
No contest but it makes California's impromptu fireworks show look downright quiet.

And these communists like that moron Colin Klapernick tell ya that white supremacists are the problem. Either that moron is color blind or his head is so far up his rear end that he can't see anything. And again children shot and killed and no response from these losers.

Two more nights to go. Come on, Chicagoland, you can do it! I'm counting Monday since it's the bank holiday.
Very soon all of the potential black targets will either be dead or will have become wily enough to stay indoors when the sun goes down. If the gangstas move on to White neighborhoods or flyover country let them be warned that White kids can shoot almost as well as the adults, unless they are liberals' kids of course. Then they will be slabs of bacon but liberal kids look the same as conservative kids so you will have to take your chances.

I wonder if Police Superintendent David Brown is given a free hand by the mayor. He did a great job, I thought, in Dallas in troubled times. But times pale in comparison to what is going on in Chicago now and the past 100 years. I do know he called the thugs b*****ds.
