...where we had 11 less shooting incidents that resulted in the same number of murders as last year...

So are they becoming better shots?

Isn’t there at least one white ass cracker in Chicago who this can be blamed on?

Yeah, but 2 people died in an airplane crash . . . stop the presses . . . those two are more important than the 12 dead and 72 people injured . . . go figure.

There was a fight in a local neighborhood in my county. The two idiots were beating each other down in the intersection with little children at their feet. The thug’s’ pants were halfway down and a gun fell out. A little girl picked it up and handed it to her “daddy”. What a mess of a people.

Crime statistics are directly related to the available number of criminals and have nothing to do with (or without) gun control.

None of this matters. Get back to the important stuff about the white Hispanic who shot an innocent black, 17 year-old.

The liberals and race antagonists, who have had meltdowns over this Trayvon Martin case, generally are silent at the carnage in our cities.

The idiot black congresswoman, who cried out that Trayvon was shot down like a dog in the street, has nothing to say about thousands of black men shot like dogs every year.

It is hard to take liberals seriously sometimes.

It is hard to take liberals seriously sometimes.

Just about impossible, but there are so many low information voters and people on government programs that liberals can always buy enough votes to stay in office many places.

Is this what they mean when they say “free at last”?
