NOT A WORD FROM THE LIBTURDS

More unfortunately, not a word from Republicans or from our side of the media. We are always in "reaction" (I hate that word) mode.

“NOT A WORD FROM THE LIBTURDS”

Looks like it was reported by “Libturds”

I would love to see President Trump tweet something about this. Talk about causing mass aneurisms. “How darrrrrrrrre you politicize a tragedy!?”

Ironic that a Canadian, Ted Cruz, has the balls to tweet the truth about Chitcago (sp?).

Chitcago (sp?) Mayor to Ted Cruz: Keep the name of our city out of your mouth

Labor day weekend was three days so the numbers are inflated. of the 7 killed, it is said three were stabbed, not shot. Knife murders are British and therefore really don’t count

That is, the true adjusted figure is only four dead that actually matter

More people killed and wounded, in Chitcago, this weekend, than in TX, or anywhere else in the country.

Just another typical weekend, in Chitcago, btw.

Not a word from the media or libs, about that.

7 dead - the same number killed in the infamous St. Valentine’s Day massacre.

Appears Chicago now has one of them every week.

“what happens when only criminals and governments have guns.L

I’m so sick of this “gun free Chicago” crap being spouted by people who don’t have a fricking clue. Law abiding citizens can obtain a CCL fairly easily if they follow the procedures and pay the (too expensive IMO) fees. It’s far, far easier to get one here than in Los Angeles, New York, New Jersey, San Francisco, DC, Baltimore, or just about any other Dem run urban hell-hole you can name.

I often wonder how many of the 35 shot were shot with a “approved” CCL.
…………….OR...

In Chicago, 1,800 people have been shot this year. That is 212 fewer than 2018.
Data through Monday, August 26

Who will tally the weekend carnage from all of the Democrat Stalinist-run killing fields including St. Louis, New Orleans, Baltimore, Detroit, Memphis, Los Angeles, Oakland, Memphis, Camden, Philadelphia, Houston, etc? Who’s calling for enhanced background checks on inner-city thugs and gang-bangers, or confiscating their stolen firearms? The total number of those shot and killed on any given weekend must run in the hundreds. Instead, all we hear is Odessa, Odessa, Odessa.

Why aren’t Brave Bet-0% and his fellow comrades running their sanctimonious mouths about it? When will that pencil-necked buffoon swish into Southside Chicago or South Central L.A. to disarm the Crips and Bloods, or better still, the Mexican cartel’s and MS-13? The only reasons why endemic inner-city slaughter is justifiable to Democrat Stalinist’s is twofold: 1) they’ll never do or say anything that might offend or stigmatize their monolithic black voting block; and, 2) they expect and accept that inner-city minorities are predisposed to murdering each other. In other words, they’re conspicuous bigots.

It was labor day, so they didn’t have to go to work. (sarcasm)

A 15-year-old boy named Dovantae Jackson was shot on the same block where he lived and was pronounced dead at the scene.

I wonder what the life expectancy is for guys named "Dovante"? I only ever hear the name in connection with a shooting (perp or victim). Same with "Trayvon.
