NYC has a lot of catching up to do if they’re going to compete with Chicago.

Literal war zone numbers. Actually, higher than 2 days in Iraq even at the height of the insurgency.

Yep, it’s safer in a war zone, than Chicago.

I'm currently reading that Democrat Best Seller: "How To Convert Your Child To Tax Free income" by Iben Showinoff.

I'm not sure about the target audience, but it's written in Ebonics.

Taxpayers in these cities are paying big bucks to patch these thugs up and send them back out on the streets. Maybe what they really need to provide is training on how to shoot.

What if a normal citizen had to go to a hospital and the staffs were working on stopping the bleeding and infection of 118 gunshot victims? Maybe lie on the floor in the linen room until they treat the first 75 people ahead of you?

Why would a normal citizen be in Chicago or New York?

I remember decades ago when People Magazine ran a sevral page story on the astronomical cost to us of the young blacks in gangs who get slashed, stabbed or shot.

One picture and story detailed a smirking thug and the long list of extraordinary lifesaving methods with machines and specialists that left him alive in the hospital bed. In terms of that day's dollars it was some huge sum. He had no insurance, of course.

And his case was one of hundreds a year in the story, all on the hospital and the taxpayers' tab.
