The awful truth about Obama's hometown that he and the media ignore in gun discussion
The American Thinker ^ | 10-3-15 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 10/03/2015 8:43:32 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

Why has no one asked President Obama what “common sense” gun control measures in addition to those already at work in Chicago he would like to see? Why has no one asked him about the disparity in his concern over a handful of white victims in Orgeon versus his complete ignoring of hundreds of black murder victims in his hometown?

Chicago, the town Obama adopted as his own and where his mansion still sits, puts the lie to the vague gun control nostrums he is selling.

A highly amusing site called heyjackass.com (“Illustrating Chicago Values”) graphically illustrates the ongoing carnage with grim wit. The fact that President Obama has never been called to account for his chosen hometown’s disastrous record in the face of some of the harshest gun control laws in the nation speaks volumes about media bias.

Here are some of the highlights of the heyjackass.com page:

Time to identify the genome of these Bad Seed bastards before they go postal and kill innocents!

Obamanation lies and peoples die. From another article today concerning the shooting in Oregan by the liberal shooter Chris Harper Mercer

[The Federal Security Services (FSB) is reporting today that an American black-Islamist terror suspect, who yesterday committed an act of mass murder in the State of Oregon (United States), had been included on a list of 87,000 “known/suspected” Islamic terrorists that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) refused last month to accept from the Federation due to its not being “politically viable in the present atmosphere”.
According to this report, the black-Islamist terrorist who committed this act of terror, Chris Harper Mercer, had previously been indentified by electronic intelligence specialists within the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) as being an Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) adherent after he had attempted to gain passage to Syria via Turkey during the first week of September, 2015.
By the Obama regime refusing to accept this terror list from the Federation, this report continues, Mercer was able to accomplish his terror act when yesterday he killed 9 people and wounded 7 others at the Umpqua Community College prior to his being shot and killed by local US police forces.]

No kidding. The mini-Obama was going to jump to the ISIS recruiting station as fast he could arrange transportation?

Who knew, what evil lurked in the hearts of men? THE SHADOW KNEW....

Chicago is not his hometown, not defending it because I lived there for many years but still..

He is there because of Demographics, a Democratic run city with a militantly disconnected Black populace in constant tension

It is true, sad but true

Drop him in there and he is just another Black Community Organizer...

All planned from the beginning many years ago...

Watch and See...

Chicongo has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country. Yet they still have the most shootings.

The reason is simple:

Criminals ignore laws. That’s what makes them criminals.

Gun laws only disarm the law abiding.

Armed citizens are an occupational hazard for criminals.

Whaaaaaa, there are a disproportionate number of blacks v. whites in prison!!!!

He can’t fix one city. Don’t hold your breath for CNNABCNBCMNBCCBS to discuss this in a fair and balanced way.

The awful truth about Obama's hometown. . . .

Please do not call Chicago "Obama's hometown." It is not. He was an interloper. Chicago is MY hometown, where I was born and raised, and I disown him.

The ONLY time Obama drags out the full drama show is when white people are murdered...

Sorry about that. Obama, himself, refers to Chicago as his hometown. However, none of us really knows where his “home”town is. Honolulu, HI? Nairobi, Kenya? Vancouver, BC? Seattle, WA? Someplace else?

Jakarta, Indonesia. That’s where he spent a good deal of his childhood. Other than that, probably Hawaii.
