Imagine. Having a cookout. a block party. imagine that not a single person gets shot, stabbed or run over. Imagine nobody murdered. I guess that counts as white privilege.

Facts are stubborn things

Sadly though, we have a news media that is more concerned about their agenda than facts.

Do you live in a dull neighborhood? Maybe you and your neighbors should start having cookouts at 12:20 AM.

Gotta love how the Mayor dressed down everyone involved harshly except the actual shooters.

“...guns in the hands of people willing to use them...”

That’s the money quote right there.

Most cities had much greatness about them before The Riots. And I’m not talking about BLM.

Funny thing about the article--no mention of the ethnicity of the party's attendees and no pictures. Now, why could that be??

If it's Southeast DC no need for pics.

Yeah you could focus it down that much. I thought I was tightening it up by excluding females.

Newsham said a dispute broke out at the gathering and several people produced weapons and exchanged gunfire.

You know how it goes. Someone asks for catsup on their hotdog instead of mustard, then all hell breaks loose.

You’re right - it is pathetic. These dem mayors knash their teeth and cry over ‘illegal guns’ but never seem to do anything about them. In fact, they fall all over themselves encouraging immigration of those who just are not suitable to live in a free society. That is, people from conflicting cultures in their homelands who continue that conflict with even more liberty to do so within America. One only has to look at the marked increase in aggression towards Jewish people and Christian people by other than Jew or Christians for proof enough.
