Now add a Democrat convention to the mix, and see what you get.

Good thing the mommas all have at least 5 baby Daddies. If one or two have a bad day, there are left overs!

OK, time for Dems to blame lax gun laws in the Dakotas or Montana or Texas and elsewhere.

Ah the language of the Progressive-approved journalists - “gun violence.”

I’ve owned and/or possessed double digit firearms in my life and not once has one been violent. To me the phrase “gun violence” cannot be confirmed observationally. It is illogical and should be explicitly rejected.

While I am not prone to violence, I am capable of it if it’s necessary. I could use a firearm while committing a violent act.

But ... the amoral culture in Chicago promotes and rewards violence. Firearms are just one tool in use.

Let’s shift the discussion to ‘violent individuals and groups’ which is supported in fact.

“Gun violence”/ Chicago
Synonymous except that gun need be left out.
Violence/ Chicago
There fixed it.
It’s the people people.

These Monday Chicago reports remind me of the Viet Nam body count reporting on the nightly news back in the day.

Sure is a good thing the democrat mayor has got a handle on this like he bragged about.

Let’s get serious here, if there were no guns there would be no gun violence. We need tougher gun laws that limit who can own one. /s/

Yes guns are violent critters. They jump into the hands of totally innocent criminals and kill people every day.

The weekly body count in Chicago alone exceeds the weekly KIA of all US military stationed in Afghanistan for the years 2014 until 2021

Forever. In Chicago, it has always been predominately Black on Black crime. And has been written off.

What happens when it starts being predominately Black on Hispanic? Or does it all of a sudden “get real” when it is Hispanic on Black>
