Just saying.
Leftists will blame climate change.
If only the people of Chicago would elect a black lesbian, then all this would stop.
So it’s no longer MAGA country?
And why arent we seeing an end to this now that their intersectional mayor is on the job?
Whenever you get urban shootings, the liberal media always connect it to the temperature:
Why do we never hear of Global Warming’s future effects on SHOOTINGS..?
Of course the question is ridiculous, but at the same time somehow logical.
According to their new mayor, the head lesbian in charge, Chicago is going to change. She is going to pump more money into the southside of Chi-town and give them more free money to buy more guns for the gangs.
Sophistry...informing American liberalism since the ‘60s.
Stolen guns. But you will never hear that in any media report. Or read about stolen guns in any gun violence study.
What’s a baby shower without gunfire?
“....Mayor-elect Lori Lightfoot tweeted that she’s heartbroken...”
They are democrats Lori, what did you expect? The best is yet to come during the warmer months. Funeral homes will make a “killing” this summer.
Englewood, Auburn Gresham, Ashburn - these Chicago neighborhoods account for most Chicago murders.
Four out of thirty three? Those morons need more range time.
The Garfield Parks and Austin kick in their fair share.

Obamaville...
Damn that White Privilege.
Obamaville...

Wastin’ away again in...
“You think these guys know The Commodores?”
They should have included guns on the Buybuybaby registry.
