Used to work on th near west side. Thirty years ago it was marginal. Twenty years ago it was revived and doing great. Thirteen years ago the city started to ignore it.

The NAACP just issued a travel warning for blacks to avoid Florida because it’s too dangerous for blacks. Reminds me of my tag line.

It was cold this weekend, the feral dregs stayed in as it got down into the 40s.

In a couple of weeks when it doesn’t dip below 70 is when the real fun will start.

This could be an interesting discussion, if people were intellectually honest. And that discussion would be, where are blacks in more danger, in Florida, or in Chicago?

*************

Yeh, the gangs that can’t shoot straight. Maybe somebody should tell them if they stop turning their gun sideways they will do better. 🙄

What about rapes? Muggings? Assaults? Murders not involving guns? I guess the only problem in Chicago is “gun violence”.

I’m sure that 1 death was because it was an AR-15. Those are the only guns that really kill people, right?

Just like a huge OK Corral. Stay far away from Chicago and from Illinois as well.

Yea but the NAACP put put a travel advisory for black to Florida.

Even though they get killed at a many times faster rate in Chicago. NAACP and BLM actually are first and foremost leftist political organizations not for ethnic causes.

Chicago is going to run our of victims for their weekend shooting gallery. Perhaps when there are no more Chicagoans to go after, the can import some from the illegal migrants.

In reality, what is happening in Chicago is the democrat party trying to turn Chicago into a white town again, by eliminating all blacks. Margaret Sanger failed in her mission to kill off the blacks, but democrats took over for her.

From the article title:

Chicago shootings: 23 shot, 1 fatally, in weekend gun criminal violence across city, CPD says

It's not "gun" violence, regardless of what the Communists at ABC Propaganda Media and the Chicago Police Department call it.

Guns kill people like spoons make them fat.

One for 23? Chi-town criminals need better shot placement.
