Send the Muslim ‘migrants’ in. Chicago is beginning to resemble Detroit.

Black people are just committing the murders that white people don’t want to commit.

How can this be??

Rahm Emmanuel is a good Democrat. Democrats have run Chicago for generations. How will they blame this violence on Republicans or cutbacks to social programs????

It’s all Indiana’s fault. Interestingly enough, no city in the state that liberals blame for all the guns in Chicago doesn’t have the astronomical homicide rate that Chicago does. Apparently, the number of guns in an area is not the problem.

What a surprise that it should happen right after Obama released all those “nonviolent” felons.

BLM. Well at least statistically to statisticians, not so much to other blacks.

I don’t know, but the blacks who vote overwhelmingly for Rats will believe them.

Looks like the cops have given up on proactive policing or anything else that could results in them being tomorrow’s whipping boy for the media. This was a very forseeable consequence of Ferguson and Baltimore.

Gary, for all intents and purposes, is a Chicago bedroom community.

Obama has been granting clemency to a record number of thugs in jail and releasing them back onto the streets. Couple that with blacks angry when police actually arrest the criminals that are praying on them.. and you get this result.

"Hands up, don't shoot."

Guess that doesn't work too well in the hood.

The crime rate always seems to go up when blacks decide they’re going to take on the police. Happened after Rodney King too.

Liberals are always looking for a “revolution”
