It was a quiet July 4 weekend in Chicago Only 77 human beings were shot and 14 killed. This is what is known in Chi-town under Mayor Lori Lightfoot as a lull in the action. As is always the case, the vast majority of those Americans are black, and some of them were just kids.
And Black Lives Matter does not care about them.
They’re all earning their PhDs in Hypocrisy Refined.
Democrats killing Kids... Nothing new there.. :(
Is there a ratio on deaths/Biden Rally yet. Seems like a metric to keep an eye on.
Black male sucker punches white kid.
Chicago, what a wonderful place to sell ammo....
The DEMs Planned Parenthood kills 300K+/- black children nearly every year, but yeah, I digress......
I’m betting a lot of these twits have never handled a weapon before and are walking around with safety off and finger on the trigger.
“Chicago was left reeling...”
I don’t think so. I am friends with an Afghan combat vet; a marine. I wanted him to tell me about his experiences. He said that none of the stories translate to our present experiences because things he considered hilarious at the time now seem wantonly crazy or cruel. For example, an enemy soldier had blown himself up planting an IED. When they found him, his detached hand was frozen in an open grip and one of the Marines picked it up and pretended to masturbate with it.
I suggested to him that the way he responded then was so his mind could deal with the violence. Now that he wasn’t involved in violence his mind dealt with it differently. If he had dealt with it then the way he was feeling about it now he would have been rendered nonfunctional.
Chicago is not “reeling.” It shrugs its collective shoulders and keeps going. Nobody there can affect violence they are not a part of, so they just ignore it. The author’s description is how he thinks Chicago should be dealing with it. They aren’t.
I suggested to him that the way he responded then was so his mind could deal with the violence. Now that he wasnt involved in violence his mind dealt with it differently.

“Never let a crisis go to waste.” Right, Rham? Better confiscate all guns. 2A? Bill of Rights? Of no consequence. It’s just a “charter of negative liberties”, right Barry?
Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what your overlords can do to you.
Collateral damage for agenda. Ghoul-looking Lori is the perfect overseer at this place at this time.
SUPERCRIMINALS 1) Face 2) Words 3) Deeds (the aforementioned have the trifecta)

White supreemists and KKK continue to drive into Chicago and do these heinous acts of racism! AG Barr needs to clamp down on these far right Nazis!
Yes, sarcasm.
SUPERCRIMINAL PSYCHOPATHS - They’re not really human, they’re some sort of subspecies...

This could be far worse if Groot doesn’t get a handle on all those White Supremacists shooting black children b/c of the color of their skin.
Hey Jackass reports last week’s totals:

Shot & Wounded: 112
Total Shot: 138
Total Homicides: 28
“That’s the entire premise of M*A*S*H.”
Mash was an anti-war vehicle based upon a movie. It was not reality. Until a person faces the reality, fear, apprehension, anger, sorrow, and later the regret it had to happen, it isn’t a reality. It’s a television show to sell sponsors’ products. It’s a wall of entertainment surrounding a person to let them see what the show wishes. Reality is a small part of it. They don’t feel the loss. Video games are the same thing. You die, with no pain, and you come back after reset to die again. Reality? Not hardly.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, take my advice: Pull down your pants, and slide on the ice."
I think you and I have discussed Radio Host Mark Scott before.
He once asked Dr. Samanow how street thugs could be rehabilitated and Samanow said “You can’t rehabilitate them. They’ve never been habilitated.”
Off Topic. As America has been so busily ignoring our Constitution during COVID, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking of the hours of time spent under the constitutional tutelage of Mark Scott and how important that has been to me.
No question MASH was anti-war.
However, using black humor to cope with the carnage of war was a running theme throughout the entire run of the show.
Exactly, cyclotic. Mark’s (RIP) show is where I first heard him and heard of Mark via my wife who listened to Mark everyday on her walkman while she was reading meters for Detroit Edison. She bought his book way back when. I still refer to it.
My screen name came from Mark’s interest in Ayn Rand, so I combined my name initial with Galt.
“....using black humor to cope with the carnage of war ...”
There is no type of humor downrange that can cover the reality of combat. And the patients in the show were always very compliant and calm. They obviously didn’t have much in line.
