Chicago

[Bill from NYC]

(We can change the world)
Yes we can change the world
(Rearrange the world)
Rearrange the world

(It's dying)
If you believe in justice
(It's dying)
If you believe in freedom
(It's dying)
Let a man live his own life
(It's dying)
Rules and regulations who needs them
Open up the door

 

CSNY Lyrics from the song "Chicago.", and it looks like they got their wish. 60 shootings so far this weekend with 9 homicides. 

 

May the sweet, innocent children pictured here spend eternity walking with God in eternal peace and happiness. I hope as a society we become more focused on the innocent victims and less focused on radical politics. You will read more about the "75 year old gentleman" in Buffalo getting pushed than you will about these beautiful children being murdered, and this is a shame upon society.

It would be shocking except that this is just a typical weekend there. Good job there, Mayor Lightfoot, and BLM

I needed a reminder of this song. The context is striking

[Motorin']

There's nearly 10 million people who live in the Chicagoland area. If it were a state, it would rank #11 by population, just behind Michigan and in front of New Jeresey. 

 

Chicagoland has the population of 10 Erie Counties. 

 

Each of those shootings is a tragedy, but the idea that gang shootings in Chicago proves whatever narrative BS you think it does is asinine.

Why do you think you've been nicknamed Gleeful Gator and/or HAHA Gator? It's because you laughed at the deaths in Benghazi. You've shown to the world that you don't care about your fellow citizens.

It's just that Gleeful Gator is more open about it than most.

A tragedy, eh? Yet, people are ripping the country apart at the seams over a narrative fueled by ONE criminal cop? The idea that inner city communities, and leaders of those communities, might be the actual ones responsible for black lives not mattering isn’t a “BS narrative”, Bub.

I guarantee there are more criminals living in inner cities than there are bad cops. But that subject is taboo. Can't talk about personal responsibility in the black community. That's racist.

Oh yes, a community that's suffered hundreds of years of oppression is not a paradise, imagine that! 

 

Rural America isn't any better. They are just spread out. The TV cameras are not there when a drunk red neck shoots his wife.

How many years are you going to use slavery as a excuse? Why have so many made it out of the ghettos while others never do? What separates them? 

Life ain't fair,  you can either B word and moan and not try to raise yourself out of poverty, blaming everyone but yourself for your failure, or work hard, get an education, study. Make something of yourself.

Nawwww......much easier to sell drugs and live the gang life. They know they have allies in the democratic party to make excuses for them.

Yes.  The majority of unarmed black people killed (all 9 of them last year) is more negligence more than trying to actually kill them.  Chauvin intentionally (IMHO) killed Floyd.
