You say they got what they wanted? That is a terrible thing to say. However terrible, what is tragic is there seems to be no protesting the carnage. No street demonstrations, no candlelight vigils, no shouts of “where are the cops?”, no mass meetings of grieving family members.
I saw more outrage over the shooting of a lion and then a gorilla. Two animals were shot and the liberal world went ballistic. The dead and wounded litter the streets of Chicago and (crickets).
Another summer weekend nears. Monday the media will quietly print the roster of DEAD and WOUNDED. There will be the sound of silence.
If, however, a situation requires a shooting BY A POLICEMAN, riots will break out, the media will wake up, and a certain “reverend” will be leading the outraged parade down the street betwenn the burned out buildings.
Oh, well, another weekend in Chicago. Heaven forbid.
You raise really good points.I agree completely. Lakeview/Wrigleyville has become super crime infested. Last week there were two robberies in the middle of the day - one at a Subway store right near two child care centers. Lake Shore Drive - the jewel of Chicago -is no longer safe. There are no “safe” areas. Muggings on Magnificent Mile at noon. Sad.
These savages and even the few law-abiding blacks within the neighborhoods hated the police. So, of course the police is going to back off so they don't get targeted by this corrupt administration and social justice warriors. What do you want them to do?
However terrible, what is tragic is there seems to be no protesting the carnage.
Not my problem. I don't venture into inner-city hellholes or support the political party that is responsible for blacks killing each other. Blacks need to look in the mirror, instead of blaming "The Man."
you know there's blacks around that do not want whites joining in them for their protests, parades, marches, meetings etc....
its their fault...we can not do anything about it....
I don't feel very bad for them except for the little children..
Well, it is a terrible thing to say. But can you dispute that is the truth? It is the truth.
What is true is it exposes the hypocrisy of the “Black Lives Matter”, and reveals them to be the Alinskyite racists that they are. THAT is a terrible thing to say, but it is also the truth.
There are a lot of Useful Idiots involved in the Black Lives Matter movement, just as they are involved in many other liberal endeavors. A good number of those followers are well meaning people who feel their hearts are in the right place, but the people who are pulling the strings, organizing, well...they are interested in the Alinskyite practice of exacerbating a problem to cause the maximum pain and anguish to achieve a political goal. The more pain they cause, the closer they feel they can get to achieving their political goals.
I take no joy in any of this. I think it is corrosive and damaging, but the activists who show up at city hall to protest the death of a black teenager at the hands of the police could absolutely care less about the legions of black teenagers who are murdered by other black teenagers. Their actions prove it. They are mute on the subject of black on black crime, especially since they have forced any semblance of law and order out of the areas that need it most.
They have deliberately and intentionally created a power vacuum, and as we know, nature abhors a vacuum. So that vacuum, created to serve a political end, is filled by the worst possible people, and the people who caused it move on to other things.
You and I can agree that this is a tragedy, but what is not a tragedy is how this tragedy came to be. How it came to be is immoral and should be criminal.
