What's not being reported is what happened on Cleveland's east side this weekend. There were seven murders. Five of them were execution style at one location. (one of the five was that a victim was 7 months pregnant and they couldn't save the preborn child). Another two were shot at one location. This is very unusual for a city that doesn't see even 100 murders in one year.

It goes a long way in explaining why the police were on edge the very next day when someone was brandishing what might have been a real gun and aiming it at people.

The media are complicit in downplaying urban, black-on-black street crime. Early last evening we picked up a 15 year old, shot through the femur. He was laying on the pavement in the middle of a street. It will go unreported in New Haven’s news outlets. Yet these same news outlets and the black mayor invoke the Newtown shooting ad nauseum.
