of course the media cares, and they have determined the solution to reduce these deaths is by taking guns away from white men in rural America.

To even recognize this as an issue would be to question the culture created by liberal policy. Can’t go there. That’d be “racist”.

Here is another little known statistic, taken from Chicago in 2011: 70% of the VICTIMS had a previous criminal record...

Pavlov’s dogs are drooling and Obama’s pastor is the one who rang the bell this time.

this was a war against the entire black family. the democrats under LBJ ever since then. this is just the predictable outcome, one f many badpredicted and known outcomes, democrats knew this would happen.

strong independent black families with strong working dads shepherding families would not have let this happen. they are now broken as a people, ther leaders keep them in line on the democrat welfare plantation. they have convinced themselves they deserve other people taking care of themand are proud of it. that’s how brainwashed democrats have made them.

He was gunned down by two shooters rival gang members ...

One of the rules of good writing is that main words should add information. Since the author had already said the victim was "gunned down," the noun "shooters" does not add information. Instead, it causes the alert reader to wonder what information the writer wishes to conceal.

The problem is unfortunately worse than the article says.

Where are the strong, proud, responsible black fathers who would actually help their sons and their community become responsible?

They don’t exist, not in sufficient numbers.

The problem of fatherlessness is not solved by having a thug dad around, and that’s what the fathers of most of these boys are like.

And then there’s Bill Cosby and Juan Williams, “advocates of family”, whom continually excoriate Conservatives — pointless ethno-political allegiance.

“Where are the strong, proud, responsible black fathers who would actually help their sons and their community become responsible?”

If you were to believe TV and film, that’s nearly every black father. Since you believe reality, however, you know better.

Being a good father “ain’t keepin’ it real.”

From the Second City Cop blog:

Thoughts are simple

I am a black man and a product of the Englewood community.

I was downtown with my wife and 3 kids.

What I saw the other night not only was disgusting, it was shameful.

I am a successful businessman and have always believed in giving back to the community but thoe other night that same community let me down.

Here is what you won't hear the media or others say for the fear of not being politically correct.

As we walked down the sidewalk groups of black kids , that's right I said black kids, not whites, not Asians but black kids acting like thugs animals intentionally making comments to older white people and trying to get white younger people to fight and making racial slurs.

The media rarely gets it right but for a change a lot of what really happened found its way into the headlines.

Black youth is out of control and what bothers me even more is you don't hear any of our black leaders coming out and calling for peace.

From what I saw on my side of the glass was a concerted effort from black youth to come downtown and create chaos

News flash Reverend Jackson and the rest of the leaders in the black community make some noise. Your silence is deafening and everything that happened the other night is all on the shoulders of the black community.

I saw people scared and I saw police officers acting with incredible patience and restraint and teens and young adults acting like animals

This chaos as described by the media is "groups of young people"

Really ? More like groups of young blacks acting as if they were not brought up in a civilized society.

What happened the other night is something we should all be ashamed of.

I urge parents of young black kids don't fail your children , it isn't pretty

They're rare, but not nonexistent.

My heart goes out to the gentleman who wrote this.

from what I’ve seen, criminals usually have to commit a lot of crimes until they actually have a criminal record to show for it.
The actual number of dangerous thug “victims” is probably actually a bit higher than 70%

You don’t know their names, and the national media haven’t parked their media trucks in Chicago....

Thats because the media can descend on Aurora, Columbine and Newtown secure in the odds of another mentally deranged individual blasting away at them is almost nil. The hoods of Chicago is a different story. They would risk getting shot. Same reason the media is willing to go after Christians and not the Moslems.

There is no competition in journalism anymore. They move in tribes picking the nits off each other and hurling dung at any who get in their way.

It’s not the presence of a father that is determinative.

It is the presence of the right kind of father. And thug black (or white) dads are not that kind of man.

That upwards of 70% of black babies are born out of wedlock proves that to me. IMO a real man, the kind who makes a good father, will not allow his children to be born illegitimate.
