Barry must be a racist. Nothing about the black homicides in Chicago but immediately goes on the air when White people are killed to denounce it and promote gun control. Sure looks racist to me.

But that makes sense because #blacklivesreallydontmatter ... in Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore, NYC, Houston, LA, SF, etc. ..... or anywhere there is a “Demon-cratic” mayor.

Of course he did-—we have a president that is right on top of things. A true leader./s

Er well Detroit has a mayor now who was featured on the cover of the NRA magazine. He is pro-gun. As a result, things are rapidly improving there.

Yes and the “nice “ neighborhoods of Lakeview, Wrigleyville and Boystown now have muggings in the middle of the day. There is an excellent blog “Crime In Wrigleyville and Boystown” - definitely worth reading. An eye opener of what is going on and what is not going on.
