Would love to see Hogg and that thing that travels with him ranting in Chicago, but we won't, because Chicago is an all-Democrat gun situation.

Life is cheap to liberals, and it's cheaper still if it conflicts with their commie mission.

Must be a typo. Chicago has strict gun control.

It’s okay when Blacks kill Blacks in a liberal city.

Doesn’t fit the narrative therefore it didn’t happen.

But the usual race-baitors can’t be bothered with such trivialities.

Absolutely mind boggling so few see the hypocrisy.

If it didn’t involve a school, the media aren’t interested.

Ten times the carnage happened in the small town of Santa Fe, Texas.

Slow weekend in the usual neighborhoods. Cold, damp, and rainy.

Wait until it warms up.

Global warming has an upside.

No guns, no problems... Oops!

Well... Maybe a few problems, the main one being that when law abiding citizens don’t have access to guns, while criminals can buy guns from their local drug dealer down the street, then you’re in trouble.

It’s kind of like the Socialist Utopian vision that if everybody has enough money that there will be no social problems... Except that isn’t true.

I grew up in a town where everybody was employed, had good paying jobs, etc... And guess what? There were still drug addicts, break-ins, shop lifting and of course, outright theft occurring on a daily basis.

Human instincts, common sense and good manners are delivered by a good upbringing, not by left wing lunatics and their vision of a Socialist Utopia bought and paid for by the state, and controlled by rules and regulations that everybody must follow.

The weather is warming up and school will soon be out for the summer. The 3 day Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner. Watch the numbers rise.

That’s what I thought. Only 1 was killed?

Slow weekend in Bammy Town. Usually a lot more are killed there.

1800 block of South Komensky

That must be where the White Sox play. But wasn't that at 35th & Shields?

“Ten times the carnage happened in the small town of Santa Fe, Texas.”

Actually the opposite is true. Fatalities: Chicago—1, Santa Fe—10

The difference though is that Chicago is an ongoing problem.

Read earlier today that some jerk wants kids to boycott school until Congress passes some NEW GUN LAWS. I don’t even remember who it was because there are so many jerks out there with these idiotic notions and during our day, we run into all of them online or on the news. Makes for weary and tiresome times..
