For 25 years I’ve lived in a gun saturated neighborhood in far west Knox County, TN and am proudly one of those responsible for the saturation. Not one murder or other violent crime by me or any of mynneighbors in all that time. Funny thing, not one inner city denizen here either.

I OBJECT to your using the name Canute and am deeply offended because the Canute, a one year old Great Dane who’s my newest family member, would never be so vile as any of those subhumans. He insisted you apologize as soon as I read him your vile post.

Well, how ‘bout dropping lots of guns and ammo all over the place, wait until the trash shoot each other and then, when one is left standing, shoot the survivor.

Think of then as home grown Sand Savages, which their behavior resembles.

Besides, as America’s greatest arms salesman, Obama will approve of my suggestion. And, those Vikes are not a ‘protected class’ according to Saint Holder.

"What’s the deal with those inner city ethnics? "

IQ I expect.

When half (47%) the people in Detroit And New Orleans cannot read or write, I don't expect it's much different in certain sections of Chicago either.

Four days ago Chicago Police Superintendant McCarthy said “they’re bringing down the robbery and shooting numbers, and the murder numbers will eventually correct and reflect the progress they’re making.”

This is no surprise to anyone that has seen the South Side. Iraq might be safer.

Complete list spreadsheet:...

Without taking the trouble to make an accurate count, a quick glance indicates ~85% black, and probably about 85% of those are young, black males. A large % of the remaining as "white" have Hispanic surnames.

I'd bet most of these murders are gang and drug related. If you're not involved in any of that, Chicago is a relatively "safe" place.

My Norvegian Elkhound often dresses up as a Great Dane, usually before committing some incredible outrage in the neighbor's garden. Just the way them Norvegians are.

But stow the idle threats of Canute attacks. My Norvegian Elkhound can also impersonate a Chicago Pit Bull. BTW, this Great Dane intimidation thing leads me to believe that YOU might be a member of a Norvegian Street Gang, Lars!
