What? I thought sending more social workers into high crime areas was supposed to end the shootings.

No, we need more movies and other media glorifying ridiculous shooting positions as the only cool and manly way ... if the dumbasses in the gangs could shoot straight the bloodbath would be staggering.

Riots in the Loop Saturday Night - Amish kids attacking tourists on Michigan Avenue - jumping on cars, breaking windows. The Walgreens at Michigan and Superior was cleaned out.

The Left is claiming the pictures are photoshopped
