Forget about open borders and the gangs that flood in and engage in open warfare. Forget about the hateful rhetoric of Black Lives Matter and the White House visit that honored those cries of hatred. And pay no attention to the ACLU and Justice Department's halting of most stop-and-frisk action by the Chicago Police Department.
Nope, the reason Chicago is so violent is…social media!
Dave Workman reports for Conservative Firing Line:
When Zachary Fardon resigned as U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, he apparently did not do it as "abruptly" as reported by the Chicago Tribune, because he took time to write a five-page analysis of the city's violence problem and he blames social media for driving it.
"Today's gun violence is driven by social media," Fardon wrote in an open letter that was published by the Tribune online. "And a corollary of that is that gun violence has become like a virus. One taunt through Instagram leads to a shooting, which leads to bragging on snapchat or Facebook, which leads to a retaliation shooting, and then the cycle repeats. The virus spreads."

oh please........
These shootings have been happening long before social media came along. Try again as to the reasons for the shootings.
But whatever the liberals do, never, ever blame any aspect of ghetto culture for the carnage. Because that would be racist. We can only talk about politically correct reasons for violence. (sarcasm)
How about the one about how Chicago, being close to Indiana, suffers because Indiana has laxer gun laws than Illinois????
EVERYBODY knows ...
It's TRUMP'S FAULT!
my first thought was boosche...
He does have a point...a small one at that.
I think he may be on to something, here.
The Chicago criminals might be using social media to shop for stolen guns on the black market.

“,,,, he blames social media for driving it.”
How about a totally corrupt government and citizens ... seems more appropriate.
Call it what it is, Gangsta culture.
Was Chicago a Model City?
That does happen.
Well, there ya go.
It’s social media.
Suckerberger’s fault?
Evidently.
GLOBAL WARMING!!!
He should have put his money where his mouth is and arrested Zuckerburg and the purveyors of Obama phones.
Come on, the reason Chicago has gun violence is that Indiana has lots of guns that they sell to people in Chicago. The funny thing is that Hoosiers (Indiana citizens) don’t use the guns to hurt themselves.
I’ve got a quick fix for that. Turn off their cell phones. Ban them from the internet if they’re on probation. When riots start, turn off the cell towers.
They do in Gary.
And where did all those Obamaphones come from?
OK..OK I know that’s a hard one so how about this.
Who’s buried in Grants tomb?
