Yeah, but I hear it’s down 9% from last year............
The definitive source says 4 killed 28 wounded. I don’t believe the lying mockingbird media.
23 shot in Indy since Friday
You know, there’s a common thread running through the reports of these body counts. If I could just put my finger on it...
They reap what they sew. They voted for it, they can live with it, dumb @$$holes.
Gotta be those gun shows
Yep...gun shows
New mayor, same old problems....jimmy crack corn
It’s not “gun violence”.
It’s gang violence.

Hercule Poirot, Father Brown, Sherlock Holmes, Inspector Jacques Clouseau, Miss Marple, 007, Lt Tragg, Sam Spade and Sgt Friday combined couldn’t figure it out.
Could it be cultural violence?
It was a slow weekend due to the chilly weather that started Saturday night and went into Sunday. Gang bangers don’t like the cold.
Tribalism plane and simple fact.
Zulu’s pound spears
Our “gleaming alabaster cities” are still running but dimmed by human tears.
Rained Sunday too.
We know we are not going to do anything about Chicago. We can’t.
So we should accept that some good people and some bad ones are dying there. At others’ hands. The supermajority Dems who live there vote Dem again and again. The Dems are evil and control it all. NOT US.
Why even report the stories to us?
You didn’t create the world and you’re not going to save the world.

I’m trying to live by it in this decadent fallen world.
About 1% successful so far.
It ain’t “gun violence.”
Indy surprised me, 100 murders +/- so far.
Weekend gun violence. Those darn guns out again shooting people! When are we going to learn not to trust them out alone on the streets of our cities???
