MILWAUKEE - Five men are dead after a series of overnight shooting's in Milwaukee.

"We had a horrible night last night," Mayor Tom Barrett said Saturday afternoon.

The shooting's stretched from 6 p.m. Friday to 3 a.m. Saturday, a 9-hour span that saw 9 shootings, including the 5 deaths.

The victims range in age from 21 to 36.

But of course, liberals assure us that "crime is down"...

Anyway, 5 murders in one night in a city of only 600,000 is really, really bad. Vancouver (BC) has about 20,000 more people than that, and has had 5 murders this entire YEAR. Something is going wrong on America's streets.

Let me take a WILD guess.

“if Obama had sons ....”

[Theodore R.]

Something is truly wrong with the American people; they are clueless.

[Mark17]

I won’t ask the question. I just won’t.

[MinuteGal]

Sound like gang-related slayings.

I'm from south of Milwaukee, so I oughta know.

Calling Sheriff Clarke....

Were any of the shooters Obama’s sons?

Not my streets. How about your streets.

I sleep just fine at night.

If the animals want to stay this way, let them keep it i their own neighborhood.

I stopped caring long ago.

[ozaukeemom]

Reading the rest of the article a) explains a lot and b) makes me smh at these so-called leaders.

[Paladin2]

Maybe the MPD needs to be disbanded to let Sheriff Clarke police the whole county.

[cherry]

I hope truly innocent people weren't killed, but I suspect not....so my caring card is empty....

a stat I like to retell, from something I read somewhere, is if you are shot, chances are high ..50%....that you either have been shot before, will get shot again, or you shot someone else or are going to....

see....they are in this ring of chaos and violence and we mere whiteys are not going to be able to stop them, no matter what...

just protect your own, and teach your young...

[umgud]

I built in a pretty nice neighborhood 15 years ago. I’ll bet there are more guns per capita in my hood than most hoods. No crime here, no cops either.

[wastoute]

Exactly! My guess is the Black Lives Don’t Matter to Blacks.

[dp0622]

that’s very high but it makes sense. What are the odds of the average person in a good neighborhood getting shot? I guess I must pray for these neighborhoods as I am a Christian. You make it so damn hard.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Tribal warfare spreading out from Chicago to Milwaukee?

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Inner city ferals?

[Brilliant]

All they need to do is put the criminals in jail and keep them there.

[Dallas59]

What to blame:

Guns (guns have brains and are alive)

Money (some people can't understand why some people have more money than others)

Jobs (The kind where you get paid $14 an hour to play on your "phome", smoke weed in the parking lot and have sex with all the coworkers, not the racist kind where you have to work)

[mouse1]

Imagine that, this community organizer seems to justify it...

---

But community leaders like Tory Lowe say access to guns is only part of the problem.

“It’s way deeper than the gun issue, because most of the people that carry guns, they carry them for an economic reason. They want to get paid, they want to strong-arm somebody, it’s economic. There are only two ways to reduce violence in any community. That’s jobs, create an industry for people to work, and better education.”

Wisconson.

Liberat state, not?

No further comments needed.
