Of course not. Those 25 lives don't matter.

You don’t want to use the toilets if that’s your only source of drinking water. Better to sit in your own feces. You would think these kids would be potty trained after 40 years.
How can the cops explain this period of relative peacefulness?

From Wikipedia: “Douglas Park is a large Chicago Park District park that serves as a cultural and community center on the West Side of Chicago, Illinois.”

How true it is!

If only there was a law against murder... ...or if liberals actually believed that black lives matter.

Conservative white supremacists run amok, no doubt.

No one cares. Unable to be used for politics.

I get that. Felt the same way about Detroit for a long time.

The first shooting, which took place at approximately 1:20 a.m. on Sunday morning, sent a total of seven people to local hospitals.

At approximately 3:45 a.m., eight more people were shot in the 4200 block of West 18th in Chicago’s Lawndale neighborhood.

What’s the definition of “mass shooting” again?

I had a high school roommate from Detroit, visited when it was quite a delightful place.

It is sad. Most large American cities have been ruled by Democrats for decades, but at least there was a point in the first half of the 20th Century when the bosses kept the ferals in check. Now the ferals *are* the government, but they’re too incompetent, greedy, and corrupt to rule themselves.

That’s not going to happen in the city the Community Organizer organized. Here’s some stats though.

Great analysis. I grew up there when Richard J Daley was mayor. While a teenage intern with United Press, I attended Dem National Convention ..Lots of powerful people in my life and most certainly at the convention. But one afternoon, the earth literally shook and a bright light seemed to precede a man coming down the hall. Richard J. Daley. More powerful than anyone on earth since the Roman Emperors. IMO of course. He did swing the election to Kennedy..

And he most assuredly would NOT have allowed the city to deteriorate and become crime central.
