7 killed, 46 wounded in Chicago weekend shootings

1. Have the media start reporting the situation that has been long ignored because it is Democrats running the show.

2. Have the media stop framing those who would actually do a better job as racists.

How is it these Democrat cities which are killing fields and **** holes always vote Democrat?

Bad leadership and an equally sickening media which has poisoned minds.

Why does it happen? Because Democrats would lose nationally if 10% of the Black vote was peeled away. It’s why the Left has gone bonkers on Trump... they fear his making inroads... which polls indicated he did.

Bad Leftist leadership has caused this decay. Sharpton, Jackson, Holder, Obama, Emmanuel and their ilk... they are the problem.

You think the media is one of the top solutions to gun violence in Chicago? :lamo

See how throwing out good ideas to start with looks:

Enforced curfew from 7pm to 7am for all under the age of 18.
Triple police patrols in the largest kill zones.

The ignorant can laugh... but Absolutely it is.

The harsh light of an honest Media is the finest disinfectant. But we do not have one.

There has been no light shone on this decades long tragedy, this El Paso or Dayton that happens weekly in Baltimore... Chicago.

Why is that? Because it does not fit the Leftist agenda.

You keep laughing as the media drops the ball every ****ing day... how compassionate of you.

The violence has it's roots in the divestment of communities that were once were thriving working class neighborhoods. That began in the late 70's. Factories close down and there go the jobs. People become desperate. Most of these shootings here now are retaliatory revenge for other shootings. These communities need investment which brings opportunity. Investors focus on the North side white communities. Lincoln park, Wicker park, Wrigley Ville and Lincoln Square. It's going to take entrepreneurs with vision to invest in Englewood and Roseland. Hyde Park, Bronzeville and Beverly are thriving.

Democrat policies.

Bad leadership of their community.

A press with their eyes closed and mouths shut... while thousands have died or been maimed.
 
Are you kidding me? How are you able to start a BN/MSM thread about what the media is silent about?

This has to be the most moronic post premise possible - posting as proof of alleged media silence a media story about the matter allegedly never reported.

You have proven your intellectual dishonesty. For that I thank you.

The media has been silent.

It’s Dayton or El Paso type carnage every ****ing week and the nation hears virtually zero. Because it does not fit the Leftist agenda.

Where is the outrage and outcries related to Baltimore or Chicago, or some other Leftist created misery? There is none.

And when someone does, as Trump had... what happens? The word burners emerge to attack the president when others have used the same language or stronger.

We know why you folks like to burn words... because you want to shut down debate about the massive and continuous failures of your party.

Why are you folks such cowards?

The media and people like you, and those who thanked your intellectually bankrupt post are part of the problem.

Brilliant, ya think that up all by yourself? What do "democrat policies" have to do with the insanely high murder rates and levels of gun violence in Miami, Jacksonville Florida, San Diego and Oklahoma City Ok? Those cities are run by Republicans. The roots of intercity gun violence runs deeper that red or blue. But you don't care as that requires you to utilize critical thinking, perspective and context. When all your looking for are internet debate points.

Where's your outrage over the record high murder rates in Wichita Kansas and Jacksonville MS? I thought Republicans turned cities into Mayberry?

I understand you do not like the truth... just as the Leftist media does not like to report it... and I checked your cities in the top 30 lists... none were there.

But...

Here's a sampling of five longtime Democrat empires (all days are consecutive and uninterrupted). All appear in the top 20 lists:

1. St. Louis: only Democrat mayors; 90% Democrat City Council; 15,000 days.

2. Baltimore: only Democrat mayors and only Democrat City Council; 18,000 days.

3. Philadelphia: only Democrat mayors; 90% Democrat City Council; 20,000 days.

4. Detroit: only Democrat mayors; 90% Democrat City Council; 22,000 days.

5. Chicago: only Democrat mayors; 90% Democrat City Council; 30,000 days.

The Democrats have ruled Chicago for longer than Stalin ruled the USSR, the Castros in Cuba, and the Kims in North Korea, and for longer than slavery was legal in the U.S.

Exhausted yet? There's more.

These are America's top 10 most violent cities, according to FBI data. Violent crimes include homicides, gun violence, gangs, pedophilia, and robberies.

Every city is majority Democrat-controlled.

Three DEMOCRAT-Run Cities Are Most Responsible For National Murder Rate Increase | Daily Wire

Chicago hasn't had a Republican mayor in 86 years.

Baltimore hasn't had a Republican mayor in 50 years.

Houston has not had a Republican mayor in 36 years.

Access to this page has been denied.

Access has not been denied... link is active.

St. Louis has been electing Democratic mayors since 1949. The Gateway to the West has become the gateway for crime. Law Street says that it’s the fourth most dangerous city in the country, Forbes says it’s the second. It had the sixth-highest poverty rate among big cities in 2014.

The last GOP mayor of Philadelphia left office in 1952. A few years ago, Moore identified it as a favorite to follow Detroit into bankruptcy.

Both Baltimore and Oakland had Republican mayors as late as the 1960s. In the era of Democratic rule, both are now more well known for their crime and poverty problems than for their charm and character.

Newark, N.J., hasn't had a GOP mayor in more than a century. It was ranked as the fifth-worst city to live in in 2015. Detroit, of course, was first.

When Democrats are in control, cities tend to go soft on crime, reward cronies with public funds, establish hostile business environments, heavily tax the most productive citizens and set up fat pensions for their union friends. Simply put, theirs is a Blue State blueprint for disaster.

You want failure... let Democrats run it... and don’t worry... the media will not report about it either.

It’s why Chicago and Baltimore and these other failures Never get the attention they deserve.

Explain the insanely high murder rates in the cities that I mentioned including Wichita. I thought Republicans turned every community into Mayberry. Access Denied
Violent crimes happen in Wichita more than twice as often on average as they do around the rest of the country, according to the latest full year of statistics published by the FBI and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.

If there has been NO light shone on it then how the heck are you so positive it's really that bad there?

But if you are that concerned about Chicago, as you are righteously acting here, then go to Chicago and do something about it.
 
In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings.

On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…

500 to Medical errors
300 to the Flu
250 to Suicide
200 to Car Accidents
40 to Homicide via Handgun

Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.

You just copied a tweet by Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

You are that intellectually bankrupt? Really?

How... because I’ve followed this for quite some time:
Chicago Crime 2019 | Chicago Murder, Crime & Mayhem | HeyJackass!.

But if you are that concerned about Chicago, as you are righteously acting here, then go to Chicago and do something about it.

I see you’re not laughing any longer.

The media shining light on this with regularity would help raise awareness... That is their role. To report and shine light... the best disinfectant... but they have failed to do so, just as with Baltimore and other Democrat failed cities.

Why is that? Because exposing the massive failure of Leftist policies does not fit the Goebbels Media and Democrat Party narrative.

As for me doing something about it... I’m doing what I can to educate the ignorant here. To stick their collective noses in the steaming pile... but look at you folks. Just look at your responses.

Laughter and attacking the messenger. Why am I not surprised by the responses?

Update: 59 people shot across Chicago this past weekend, 7 fatally: cops

Neither democrats nor republicans can turn sinners into saints. Only Jesus can do that. Any effort to reduce gun violence which ignores Jesus is doomed to failure.
 
Just another weekend in Chicago.

The media? Silent... as they have been for decades.

Here we go. Right wing false equivalence in order to ignore mass shootings.

If the media is silent... where the **** did you get that link there champ?

You will be laughed at too by the Left, but moral and virtuous people don’t do this to one another.

The masses of laws won’t stop this and haven’t stopped this. And stripping law abiding people of their Rights will not stop this, but make matters even worse... as Democrat policies have in these hell hole inner cities.

Read Colin Powell’s autobiography and he reveals what it was like growing up in a functioning black community that has turned to rot. Others have written about it too. Instead of following the path of Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois has been followed... with tragic results.

Thomas Sowell. Walter Williams. Alan Keyes... virtuous Black men who would be great examples/leaders... never heard from.

Yeah. Its almost like its a cause driven crusade to some people and the dead bodies are just props they use to promote their cause. Or something like that.

It really is disgusting how fast some use the bodies and blood to try to advance their hateful agenda-but the left has always seen individuals as subordinate to their vision of the "greater good" so-for some on the hard core anti gun left-a bunch of dead people can serve their jihad against gun owners, well.

Another example of total intellectual bankruptcy.

Thank you for posting.

Bravo!!! At least you didn’t post an icon howling with laughter.

PS. The equivalent of Dayton and El Paso has been happening with regularity in places like Chicago and Baltimore but there is no outcry. Why?

Because it does not fit the Leftist narrative.

And when Trump did point it out, the WORD BURNERS and Leftists attacked Trump for using common, accurate language which other on the Left had used years earlier.

Why?

Because Democrats obviously do not like to have the massive failures of the ideology exposed for all to see.

Because they want to hamstring those critical of them and their massive failures.

You realize that this thread is about a right-winger trying to advance his hateful agenda right?

There you go zipper.

I checked the lists of the most violent cities. Cannot recall one he posted being on there. Then he adds a fictitious one.

The guy is worse than intellectually bankrupt.

in response to hundreds of posts of people blaming Trump for two assholes who murdered lots of innocents-and whose real motivations are still a mystery to us?

There we have it.

The Leftist response to an earnest, life ending and maiming problem in cities run by Democrats for decades.
 
Zimmer, claiming the media is silent on a story he got from the media...

Intellectual bankruptcy rears its ugly head yet again.
