Please wonder no more. The Caucausa-Caucus in congress isn’t going to call for investigations.
They’re all minorities but not all black.

It may be those bitter Pennsylvanians he brought back from Safari, they may have escaped. BEWARE.

More Americans killed by illegal aliens than Iraq war, study says

Yes I know all about that. Those in the southwest attempted to warn the rest of the country what was coming years ago. Few listened, and most others thought we were joking.

THat won’t last long. Better get another 40lb, plus 50lb or spagetti, lotsa canned tomato and a dozen jars of peanut butter. And some oil and/or shortening. Doesn’t matter what kind, just get it.

Might I recommend the pan seared prime rib, side of taters, spinach, and the best bottle of red your company will let your order.

Over 50,000 gang members...only 14,000 cops in the whole town

“Can you dig it?!!!!!!”

(Line from the 1979 cult classic “The Warriors” for those of you who aren’t familiar with it)

When you zoom the map out, it really makes you wonder...

...how all those guns owned by those folks out in the countryside suddenly managed to gallop into that small area -- and create all that carnage.

All by themselves!!!

Obviously it is the guns' fault!!!

That site’s inaccurate. I looked up the area near my dad’s neighborhood. One of the neighbors was “busted” for “burglary.” One problem. That guy doesn’t live there or have the last name of who lives there.

You are here to relate the incident today so I would consider that hesitation to be a smart move.

Might be hard for you to believe, but Texas major cities are very close to or in some cases actually exceed per capita major crime rates as opposed to Chicago.

Sweeping the streets (locking up) everybody out after dark would end this quickly. Anybody want to guess how many illegal guns would be taken (in tons).

My betting is that the black gangs in LA are being overwhelmed by the Mexicans. This has emboldened the Mexican gangs to overplay their hand in the big cities in other parts of the country like chicago. but maybe not. either way the turf wars over drugs are likely to get much bigger and badder. its a mixed bag. when you look at the people wanted for murder in Washington DC — its all hispanics. When you look at Philadelphia—its more evenly mixed between hispanics and american blacks.

Things never change in Chicago, apparently. I was born and raised there - moved away in early 1969. The South side was always the “bad” part of town. People who weren’t looking for trouble knew to stay away from there. I’m saddened to see that some of the West side neighborhoods where I lived in the mid-40’s to mid-50’s have succumbed to these violent populations.

The West Side's downturn started after you left. The Vice Lords formed in 1958 in the North Lawndale area. They are there to this day selling dope and killing. There are still numerous vacant lots where buildings once stood that the rioters burned down after King was killed. Such a vibrant neighborhood, it looks like Hiroshima now. Even the Sears complex on Arthington is gone except for the Administration Building and the origional Sears Tower at Arthington and Homan Ave. So sad.

Solution: I believe the Chicago Buuuuuhhhs, that's Chicago Bulls, for the rest of us English speakers, play at the United Center.

After Baxetball season, invite all the different gangs to a shootout at the stadium. 10 or so gangs, a sh!tload of guns, etc. in the middle of the floor, and the Marines outside to shoot anyone who tries to prematurely escape from the building before the 24 hour period is over. Let them kill each other. Three survivors get 100000 dollars each (in cash.) Put tracking devices on the contestants, and TV cameras in the building, and you have a blockbuster. And you rid the city of gang crime.
