Chicago has seen a significant increase in shootings and homicides so far this year, compared with the first four months of 2020, police said Saturday. […]

So far this year, 997 people have been shot, compared with 718 last year. The city has had 87 homicides — 31 more than during the same period last year.

Good questions.

I know sometimes black activist types complain that there was “white flight” out of our major cities.

And the complaint is that white businesses shut down or moved away, so the tax base crumbled. White people moving out meant that the people left behind were mostly minorities.

Allegedly, whites moving out created all these problems, even though whites aren’t killing black victims.

The social workers need to sit down with the guns and talk to them—that should work!

...and lets be clear, this is not lawful citizen owned guns used in self-defense, it is unlawful owned and used guns by criminals.

Wait, wait, wait. But BLM says the police needed to be DE-funded in order to reduce crime.

Gun violence is on the rise? No shirt, Shillock. A most astute observation.

When the perp is taken into custody, and names and faces are all already fairly well known, simply turning them back loose on the street does not do a thing for domestic tranquility, or even race relations. The pathogen keeps re-infecting the open wound.

The statutes are there. Nobody chooses to pursue any course of action to enforce the statutes.

Exile of the repeat offenders to another part of the country might be a productive means of control. This hard core feeds off each other.

The social score will be used to whittle down the population of the bottom percentile until they’ve gotten the population down to 500 million of the best human beings.

That has been going on in America since LBJ started his war on poverty with the massive abortions of Blacks and never rebuilding any buildings ruined by rioters or just old age.

Now, the blue cities and states have pulled back their cops and allowing the blacks to slaughter each other. Look at the stats for just Chicago in the links below:

“Meanwhile, “As black bodies, drop like flies around us, killed by violent black hands!”

In Chicago.. Realities re the killers/aka cause of Black death stats 2020/2021 are shown below:

Correct. There's no such thing as "gun violence" because inanimate objects don't shoot by themselves.

Restore shooting sports and firearms safety training to high schools. Close A-Tf- end all unconstitutional g “controls” and offer free firearms safety snd defense training to any interested citizen. and transfer its staff to useful jobs like building the southern defense wall. Clean up Illinois politics ( a truly Herculean task).

Thanks, lori. All part of the grand plan: get more and more blacks to “sacrifice their lives” for the greater cause of disarming the good guys. Pelosi gave it away when she praised floyd.

I told a gun grabber that taking my gun away to stem ‘gun’ violence is akin to cutting off his ‘tool’ to stem rapes.

He did NOT understand.
