Why no rioting over these shooting deaths? [Just another weekend night in Chicago]
American Thinker ^ | 08/18/2014 | Ethel C. Fenig

Posted on 08/18/2014 5:39:58 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

While rioting and racial tension continues in Ferguson, Missouri over the controversial shooting death of Michael Brown there was a ho hum, business as usual, nothing-we-can-do-about-it attitude towards the following headline  in the Chicago Tribune regarding shooting deaths that was probably similar to others across the nation over the week end.  

Three people were killed, including a 16-year-old boy, and sixteen others injured in shootings across the city between late Saturday morning and early Sunday morning, police said.

The majority of the victims--and most probably the shooters--in Chicago were black; the others Hispanic.  And yet, except for grieving family and friends, a protest or two by some local religious person--nothing.  Reverends Jesse Jackson Senior and Al Sharpton had nothing to say; they were silent on the destruction of the black family, teen agers having children, lack of fathers. 

President Barack Obama (D), was too busy vacationing in his 1% locale to mourn the loss of males who looked like the sons he might have had. 

Local politicians were also silent--except maybe to demand still more tax dollars for still more useless after school programs, before school programs, during school programs and maybe another scandal ridden "job training" program to explain their communities' continuing downward, out of control situation.

Ferguson is anti-white racial politics that benefits Team Evil the Democratic party that is why. 4GW on the streets, calls for de-escalation and conciliation in the halls of power and shazam a one party state like Chicago that exports its governing model to its suburbs (the next ferguson flashpoint)

A Discussion On Race, Crime And The Inconvenient Facts

By John F Gaski
Posted 08/26/2013 06:40 PM ET

“About 90% of interracial violent crime in our nation is committed by blacks against whites. The black-on-white murder rate in the U.S. exceeds the white-on-black rate by about 2.5-to-1. The black-on-white assault and battery rate exceeds the corresponding white-on-black rate in this country by at least 10-to-1. “

Federal Statistics of black on white violence, with links and mathematical extrapolation formulas

http://www.examiner.com/political-buzz-in-lafayette/federal-statistics-of-black-on-white-violence-with-links-and-mathematical-extrapolation-formulas

Statistics are meaningless when those in charge and their complicit media seemingly want a race war.

At least Herbert Hoover sent in Eliot Ness and the Feds when the Chicago police proved to be too corrupt and inept to stop the violence. Obama has a vaunted pen and phone. What has he done for his “hometown”.

If it ain't Whitey shoots Black or Cop shoots Black, you can just forgetaboutit!

The thug life is just part of the urban culture,so if it's your culture, your society, then it's totally acceptable.

Black teenager lying in the street dead ... shot by another black ... crickets.

Black teenager lying in the street dead ... shot by the POlice ... riots and Jackson/Sharpton.

Let's be clear. The rioter's are not concerned about the black teenager.

They don’t riot because it doesn’t further the Obama agenda. Unless there is a white guy involved you can’t really exacerbate racial tensions. If there is a white or even a white Hispanic involved, then it’s a different story. Then the Regime can send someone down to spread rumors and innuendo. And I am not kidding or being sarcastic in the least. This piece of rat filth in the White house is EXACTLY why we are having riots in town like Ferguson. Ask yourself this: When has this ever happened before? And I’m not talking about obvious abuse like the Rodney King video. This is different - Clear cut case of self defense in Florida with Zimmerman, cop shoots robber in Ferguson, happens everyday, happened 1000s of times, but gee whiz anytime it gets too hot in Obama land as with the border, suddenly we have something to distract the press.

Inconvenient Facts

********************
That, in a nutshell, largely explains the deafening silence. Objectively analyzing the cultural aspects of Chicago’s violence makes liberals (and their fellow travellers in the “journalist” community) uncomfortable. They simply don’t want to open that can of worms nor acknowledge the real root causes of the violence.

Even in a slow newsweek, you’ll hear little if anything about the routine weekend violence and killings in Chicago. The media would rather allow the violence to contine than question the complete failure of liberal plantation policies.

"36 Shot in Spate of Weekend Violence in Chicago"

Very impressive!

Whenever there is gunfire during my backswing, I wind up shanking it into the woods!
