Maybe the “Rev.” (and the black church in general) ought to try using a little Christianity and a little less politics. A small does can work wonders.

After this weekends more violent, anti white showing of Roots, I expect violence.

You get it. They would have us believe the timing of such broadcasts is just coincidence. I've been aware of those anti-white media "coincidences" for years.

Exactly. There are no guns in Chicago—they have gun control. How’s that working for them?

Wrong. Chicago's handgun laws were stricken down several years ago now (almost three) and replaced with state-wide Conceal/Carry.

I am a conceal/carry holder. I work in Chicago. I carry whenever I go into the City.

It has become apparent the libs actually don’t mind black people killing each other and do absolutely nothing to stop it, simply because they need that issue to continually harp about “gun deaths”, as if these guns have minds of their own and are running around Detroit, Chicago, and Baltimore just willy nilly shooting people.

...“If something doesn’t change, if we don’t get jobs for these kids, if we don’t change the economic situation, I’m worried that we could be looking at a blood bath,” said the Rev. Corey Brooks, a pastor on the city’s South Side, a mostly African-American area where some of the shootings have been concentrated.”

Well now, Mr. Brooks, all the kids that were ten years old or so when Obama ascended to office, well they're all 18 or 19 years old now.

My question is, "What were YOU doing to protect your flock after it was clear that Obama was do jack all for the AA community in Chicago, his own peeps?"

Just exactly how much "walking around money" found its way into your pocket? Did you all organnize your community to protect them from the Big Daddy Community Organizer in the White House? hmmm?

Dead.

Rodney King's death in June was the result of accidental drowning, although alcohol, cocaine, marijuana and PCP found in his system were contributing factors, authorities said Thursday.

Thank you for posting the link to Hey Jackass!

Any non-Chicago area freeper can go to that site and easily see that the overwhelming majority of murders and shootings in Chicago happen in three - five neighborhoods. Those neighborhoods are exclusively/almost exclusively black (as in the case of Auburn/Gresham and Austin) or black/latino mix.

Still, the overwhelming majority of shootings and murders are BLACK ON BLACK crime, which does NOT get the national attention of a single black on white, or white cop shoots neighborhood thug incident.

It is starting to remind me of the crack wars in the 80’s and 90’s. Why did that end? Was it longer sentences or a sufficient culling of the crack dealer population?

Over the weekend, the Chicago police increased the number of officers on the streets. About a week after a gang sweep that led to the arrests of 140 people, the police said they planned to have extra foot patrols in parks and neighborhoods and more officers on bicycles. They are also using social media to track potentially troublesome house parties.

What a strange concept...

Actually arresting gang bangers to take them off the street...!!!

I wonder how many murders these bamgers committed before being picked up?

There is a an easy solution to this problem, since the gang's own the street, just have a little pow wow letting all the gang leaders know if the killing doesn't stop, each and every one of them will be put in a deep dark prison hole for a long, long, long time, until order is returned to the streets...

Then your lieutenants will be next...

Suspend Habeas Corpus for all gang members...

Arrest them en masse until they get the point...

Lookit. Who really runs the city? The Pritzkers, that’s who. If they really wanted peace we would have it. They want the police staying busy looking after black on black crime rather than trying to solve real crime that the Pritzkers might be involved in.

“Why did that end? “

There are probably a lot of factors. But one I think is that drug use can be modeled something like the 1918 flu. The flu swept through communities killing many. But the flu ends by having no new hosts to infect. The people who get it have already had it and are immune. There are people who are genetically unable to cope with certain drugs, be it alcohol or cocaine or whatever. Those people die fast or burn out. Others without the drug intolerant genes try it and for one reason or another don’t continue or are what doctors call highly functional addicts. (For example, a movie producer stoned out of his gourd but still producing hit after hit until he burns out. You probably know an alcoholic like this.)

Another factor is I suspect that it was new and it got much more coverage than other drugs. Therefore the impact to society and culture was blown out of proportion and the problem was never as big as it seemed.

Either or both are possible. It seems that there are several drugs with the potential for being instantly addicting. Meth, for example. But we aren’t running around screaming the sky is falling. This may be because the whole world is weary and a lot less excitable now. (Look! Drugs! Bodies! We’reallgonnadie!!!!!) Yawn. Anybody know what’s on HBO tonight?

Who are the Pritzkers? They keep the books for the Chicago Mob.

Only five months into the year, at least 233 people have been killed.

Do like all liberals do- just call that the "NEW NORMAL". Problem solved!

Gun control laws are designed to jack around coservative traditional Americans... they have ZERO effect on gang bangers.

Those fools better start at home as kids are a clean slate when born. By the time they attempt behavior change it is already a violent character trait. A job is not going to change a violent criminal into a law abiding citizen. Simple minded fools think a simple solution will result in 180 degree behavior change. The home breeds hate and victim status into the kids but refuses to acknowledge the logical outcome.
