Uhm, when does the looting start in Obama's hometown?

It never stops!

I demand a vigorous prosecution of the officer that shot him … regardless of evidence or investigation … no need for those things.

Hey, it’s the liberal way.

[Dr. Ursus]

Take the malt and Newports and leave the belts!

Unmarked police car? Pursuing someone on a bike in the car? Shining a bright light on him?

This one needs investigation.

In Chicago would they even know the difference if people started rioting?

Rolling through the pictures at the link, I find it somewhat strange that a grown man would want to die with his pants down around his thighs or knees. A cursory look at the photos of this guy and the one in St. Louis would show both men died with their Asses hanging out. A real testament to manhood!

[Jim from C-Town]

This isn’t even Chicago, it is a South side suburb, Calumet City, IL. It is, Like Ferguson, MO, an inner ring suburb. This is a city that at one time was a nice suburb, now it is a ghetto.

Those crime stats don’t even include Calumet City.

Its either us or them

this holds true across the board.....

Let’s see now. A shooting yesterday by police of a black man in another part of St. Louis. One in Philadelphia and now another in Chicago.

[KeyLargo]

Are you from Chicago?

Huh?

You don’t know that the Calumet District is the CPD police district and not the village of Calumet City?

Federal Altgeld Gardens Housing Project is within the city limits.

Maybe you lived on the Gold Coast, I guess.

[Jim from C-Town]

Not from Chicago, spent lots of time in Chicago in late 90’s early 00’s but haven’t been there in ten years. I did not know they where speaking of Calumet District, thought it was the suburb of Calumet City.

Regardless, Calumet City is a majority black community, just like Ferguson, IL.

From US Census VIA Wikipedia:

The racial makeup of the city was 38.74% White, 52.91% African American, 0.25% Native American, 0.53% Asian, 0.05% Pacific Islander, 5.37% from other races, and 2.15% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 10.86% of the population, including 9.4% of Mexican descent.

And what does Calumet City have to do with the news report of a police shooting in Chicago?

You may not be old enough to be aware of this saying:

“what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?”

[Jim from C-Town]

nothing I said as much. I said I mistook Calumet District for Calumet City.

Thanks anyway for the input.

Sorry, if I sound kinda testy, but this war against us from Obama is making me pissed.

I be chillin now.

Have a good one.:)

I hope that William Kelly will be elected mayor, in 2015. He supports allowing law-abiding people to own guns and defend themselves. His site is www.williamjkellyforchicago.com.
