Chicago, which has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country, has had 1975 people shot so far this year. Total people shot and killed? 300. Total people killed? 333. Most of the shooters and shootees were black. Dear John Lewis, get up off your fat ass and talk about the real problem. It ain’t guns. It’s young black males with guns. It’s Moslems with guns. It’s Hispanics with guns. White people? Not so much. If you take away the statistics of young black males with guns, we are one of the safest countries in the world.
Last year, there were 500 homicides in Chicago. This year, at the halfway mark, Chicago has had 333 homicides. And why do you think the numbers have gone up? Simple. The Ferguson effect and Black Lives Matter. Blacks make up 13% of the population but commit 50% of the crime. Because of Ferguson and Black Lives Matter, cops are afraid of policing blacks for fear of being labeled racist. The delicious irony here is that the Ferguson effect and Black Lives Matter have resulted in more, not less, black deaths. Way to fuck up dudes. Racists everywhere are laughing at your abject stupidity.
Black Lives Matter. Pull my finger.
Chicago stats are here. I’m sure blacks in Chicago are gonna be celebrating 4th of July with a bang.
It’s Friday here in Chicagoland and I am sure they already are. No doubt they will rack up more deaths this weekend and may set records. I am saddened and shamed and even scared about all of this. But the problem ultimately lies in the hearts of people, young men in particular. When people change, and decide no longer to kill and use violence, then you will see the crime drop. Until then we have our fine politicians to pass more laws attempting to solve this problem.
I live here and I can tell you that the cops here are finished with enforcing the law. Crime is bad and there are robberies everywhere.
You should have a weekly feature called “Pull My Finger.”
“Guns Don’t Kill People. Black Males With Guns Kill People” should the slogan that the NRA uses in their push-back against the gun-grabbing Marxists of the National Dimocratic Socialist Workers’ Party.
Black males are 6.5 % of the population and they commit 50 % of the crime. The crime rate of blacks as compared to whites is 7X.
Source: FBI crime stats
The Murder crime rate of blacks as compared to whites is 7X.
Exactly the point I was going to make.
And let me put an even finer point on it-black males are 6.5% of the population but the 14-50 age group is about 3% of the population.
So you have in essence 3% of our population committing over 50% of all violent crimes.
Hearing that the Chicago has some of the most restrictive handgun laws followed by the homicide by handgun figures is kinda like hearing that Islam is a religion of peace followed by the latest terrorist massacre.
So maybe the problem will be self limiting? 🙂

The democrats love misery – yours and everyone else’s. This way you’re always begging them to make it better. People don’t want “change” unless they’re miserable.
Argue with one sometime. They won’t argue points. They just want to make you so miserable that you want to leave.
8th grade girls. I wonder if she’s had her first period yet.
The Ferguson effect is a lot older than most people think. In the aftermath
of the Rodney King beating, LAPD internal statistics showed a 40+ percent
decline in felony arrests. I would also be willing to bet the same dynamic
applied to the riots in the the 60’s.
Once the liberal hand wringing begins, the results are predictable. That is
because economics is not the only issue that is driven by dynamic models.
Once the Kerner Commission report was published (I read it,) I predicted
the whole “Urban Renewal” approach was destined to failure. That which
is rewarded will be repeated! There comes a time to stop rebuilding cities
burned down by spoiled welfare brats!
Back in the 92 campaign, I predicted that given enough liberal gains, the
public would eventually rebel against the liberal agenda. I am a few decades
late, and I never even considered the champion of the anti-establishment
movement would come in the form of The Donald, but it looks like the push
back is finally beginning.
For those never Trump types, I have to ask how many establishment RINO’s
did he take out in the primaries? One establishment senator lost his or her
primary, and McStain is likely to lose his primary in August. When all the
liberals are scared of Trump, I see that as a good thing. When the same
nominee has the GOP establishment type shitting peach-pits because
he threatens their power, I got’s dat orgasmic Schadenboner thrill
thing going up my leg!
The moment the GOPe went just as ape-shit as the liberal left, I knew the
electorate finally got it right! When Bill Krystol, George Will and that
lunatic Glenn Beck started going off on incoherent rants that in effect
amounted to an endorsement of the lesbian in the Mao Jacket, I finally
knew that Trump was my man!
I wish I could have magicked Cruz into the White House, but it was not to be. Had my doubts about Trump, and a number of people I respect condemn him. But watching the flood of people who are aggressively wrong 100% of the time condemn Trump in the strongest terms makes me think President Trump will be a good thing, or at least a far better thing than the alternative.
When the campaigning started I too was a Cruz fan. I did a ton of research on him though, and came away with the realization that he was as establishment as The rest of the pack. His wife being an exec for Goldbrick Sucks was the first clue, but I persisted. It was when he lampooned Carson in the Iowa Caucus That I wrote him off.
Do some research into his voting record, He is establishment through and through. He is as bad as Mcshitstain or Gramnasty.
He’s not as bad as McCain but he’s a lying snake. I also started as a Cruz supporter, was even going to have a Cruz rally in my gallery here in Midland.
The WTF moment for me was seeing him with Bat Shit Crazy Beck on the border handing out teddy bears & soccer balls to 100s of incoming illegals.
The one guy I really want to see go down in Ryan. I try and send some dough every week to Nehlen. If I was in WI, I would ring doorbells for him. Ryan is the worst of the worst-seeing him Cantored would send a huge shock wave through DC.
