In a bath house?
Living in D.C., the high life
Good on you, Chicago.
What about Rev. Jackson? How is he employed lately.
Imagine if this carnage was going on in the hometown of a Republican president. And the mayor of the city was also a Republican. There would be saturation news coverage by the MSM and charges of neglect and racism. Just like the media did to Bush during Hurricane Katrina.

Mooch tweeted the pic at right on valentine's day, while they were on a luxury vacation.
Not only vapid and immature, but stupid, as her foot dwarfs Barry's.
Why was that pic taken and then published? Weird...
Don’t go out after dark.
When I was 13 I couldn't be in the streets past 8, much less 11:30!...................
Plotting to overthrow President Trump.
Where are the parent?
He’s Golfing!
What you did there...............I see it.............
(Where’s Obama)
He’s safe behind the walls of his Georgetown compound surrounded by highly trained and (real) automatic weapon equipped gaurds.
When I was 13 I spent many nights camping and carrying guns.
Only five dead?
It was a beautiful weekend go out for target practice with your new Christmas pistol, Comeon mf’ers, next week we want to hear about a record body count!
And while they don’t say this, I’m sure the vast majority of these are black on black shootings.
The media who make race an issue in shootings such as Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, ignore the racial aspect here.
Just based on the addresses listed here, it appears that these shootings happened in the bad neighborhoods which are mostly black areas of Chicago.
I read somewhere that Chicago is fairly safe among big cities, when you get outside of the bad neighborhoods.
That’s an ongoing issue right there, regarding how it is, that the youth gangs lay waste to vast areas of some major cities, and seemingly are “in charge”, and do God knows what in the streets, without consequences to the perpetrators.
