Uh, hello. Anybody home? Must not have been any Dodge Chargers seen or Confederate Battle flags in the area. Otherwise it would be a national story. But, nuthin'. Obvious need for new improved spring fresh gun laws that will REALLY, REALLY, REALLY do something this time. Crickets.............

This carnage is almost certainly due to a white man working on the Minnesota state flag.

America has been enduring a continuous attack since January 20, 2009.

Was this a rampage? Will Pres-Z-dent be gettin’ all jiggy at the funerals with a song about a wretched slave trader?

Never let a crisis go to waste.

This is known as ‘Chiraq’, as Spike Lee coined the phrase.

I understand he regrets it now and doesn’t want anyone to use the term.

Sorry Spike! We’re gonna have to call ‘em as we see ‘em.

Majority if not all of these are black victims, most likely shot by black criminals.

Why isn’t that Sharpton, Jackson,Obama, and liberals, rarely comment on the violence among minorities in our cities?

To listen to media the last few years, you would swear the biggest dangers to blacks are white Hispanic neighborhood watchmen, white police officers who are using black men for target practice, and white racists who take glee in shooting up black churches. When in fact the bigger threat to blacks, especially young black makes, are other black men with guns.

A little perspective rather than liberal race hysteria would be appreciated.

Spike was right about Chiraq.

Call a spade a spade.

They need to teach their jobless yutes how to become undertakers. There’s plenty of work opportunity.

They looked around for a Whitey to blame and there was none, so this didn’t make it to the 6 o’clock news.

And will you see Jessie or Al there speaking out against it? No, because it is black on black crime...
