"The last thing the Dems want is it coming out that 20% or so have been murdered."
For some reason, I see the opposite. That is, I see them COUNTING on there being alot of urban warfare deaths so they can blame the president for not having troops there to protect themselves from themselves.
Remember, these people are not responsible for anything, much less their own actions. They need to be protected from themselves, and if the feds cant' do that, then its a conspiracy of racism.
After all, they will claim, if this happened in a white community, where white people were being shot, President Bush would have rode in on the first tank to protect those "white folk"... nevermind this was their own community tearing itself apart... they dont' want to talk about that.
The blame for these "gangstas" with stolen guns will be placed squarely on the NRA for allowing guns to be sold and stolen in the first place. It will never be blamed on individuals. After all, they are black, uneducated, urban and therefore not responsible for their own actions.
