They are getting the policing they demanded and the inevitable results.

And the pathetic president NEVER mentions it yet was an instigator in the chaos caused by ONE dead kid in Ferguson.

He is truly pathetic.

The ballerina mayor can’t keep things under control in his sanctuary city teeming with illegal gang bangers.

But, but, but.. gun control! The magic pony that keeps Chicago safe... NOT

It was very cold there-the trigger probably froze. Took the two hours to thaw it out...

Easy solution: Pass a law to ban shooting. Declare the city a “shooting free zone”.

Here’s the explanation:

1/15/15 month to date snowfall - 10.8”
1/15/16 month to date snowfall - 5.0”

Half the snow = twice the shootings. That’s know as an inverse relationship. Guess the thugs, drug dealers, and gang bangers don’t like the bad weather.

“One dead kid in Ferguson”

New York values, Chicago values ...

Is there any major city in this great Republic that isn't a cesspool?

—— one dead kid in Ferguson, in an act of self-defense against him.

Yep,that’s what I meant to say——but it’s still The Lord’s day and I was trying to be nice. :-)

My ability to care about hood rats gunning each other down is only overcome by my tears shed for muzzies killing each other...neither one register on my “give a sh** o’meter”...maybe I should ask for a new one next Christmas.

Rahm will go out with a bang. At the rare they are going Rahm ought to pull out the police and replace them with social workers. At least we would have something to point to when the progressive bleeding hearts complain again anywhere.
