Madness Continues: 5 wounded in Sunday shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/5-wounded-in-sunday-shootings/




Well, it's New Years Eve and over 500 people have been murdered in 2018. https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/chicago-murder-total-2018-homicides-police-department/

That is a horrible number. In the meantime, our politicians and clergy continue ignoring the carnage. There's still no joint press conference detailing a plan of action. There's still no mass protest on city halls and state capitols. If you are wondering why I type city halls and state capitols are not being held accountable, it's because every major city has similar numbers and Chicago isn't the number one murder capitol in the United States. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 7 wounded in Saturday shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/7-wounded-in-saturday-shootings/




Once again, you know how this goes. Meanwhile, our politicians and clergy continue ignoring the carnage. There's still no joint press conference explaining how they will tackle it. There's still no mass protest at city halls and state capitols. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 4 wounded in shootings since Friday evening

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/weekend-chicago-shootings-dec-31-2018/




You know how this goes. Meanwhile, our politicians and clergy continue ignoring the carnage. Instead of focusing on solving the problem they are squabbling over what to name an expressway or building after a former president. Yeah,  you read that right. People are getting killed, and maimed while these slapnuts argue over naming a building or expressway. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 4 wounded Thursday in city shootings

You know how this goes. Meanwhile, our politicians and clergy continue ignoring all the carnage. There's still no joint press conference explaining how they will fight it. There's still no mass protest at city halls and state capitols demanding action. Are you still wondering why?

Let's just hope these horrible numbers keep going down. Last night some boob decided they would speed down Central Avenue evading police and cause a really bad accident. I'm 3 or 4 blocks away and heard the very loud boom when the jackass t-boned another vehicle. All I do know is when they blocked off Central Avenue, it must have not been a good outcome for any involved. In the meantime, our politicians and clergy still don't give a damn about the shootings.

Damn shame isn't it? In the meantime, our politicians and clergy are still sticking their collective heads in the sand. There's still no joint press conference explaining how they will tackle the violence. There's still no mass marches on city halls and state capitols demanding action. If you don't believe it, check out the word salad second link. After you are done reading it, ask yourself the same question. My answer is an emphatic yes. They should be given longer prison stays.

As you can tell the first link is the total for just Saturday alone. The second link is a total of the weekend shooting carnage beginning Friday into the holiday weekend. Damn shame isn't it? Yet in the meantime, our politicians and clergy still don't give a damn. There's still no joint press conference explaining how they will tackle the violence. And, there's still no mass protest on city halls and state capitols demanding action. Are you still wondering why?

You can bet there was more. In the meantime, our politicians and clergy still don't give a shit. Two cops were killed by a train while an idiot claims "he found a gun..." fired it instead of calling the police and giving it to them. Yet, here we are with no joint press conference explaining what or how they will better coordinate with the rail system, or how they will deal with idiots finding guns and not turning them in.

Madness Continues: 3 killed, 1 wounded in Tuesday shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/3-killed-1-wounded-in-tuesday-shootings/




Criminals do notice when there is a decrease in police presence. With the death of two officers in the line of duty, these mini-terrorist took advantage and continued their murderous ways. In the meantime also, the politicians and clergy continued ignoring the carnage.

Yes, there are simple solutions for combating the violence. We all know how they can become law. Yet, there's no one demanding its implementation. So, the ignoring and carnage continues. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 4 wounded in Monday shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/4-wounded-in-monday-shootings/




In the meantime, our politicians and clergy continue not giving a damn. I was gleaning through the headlines, and can tell you there is already one death for Tuesday during the early morning hours. With that being said, you can expect the tally for the Tuesday post will be just as horrific. You can also expect the same non-response from politicians and clergy. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 4 shot in Chicago on Sunday

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/4-shot-in-chicago-on-sunday/





In the meantime, it's business as usual with our politicians and clergy as they clearly don't give a shit about the carnage. You can tell this by the lack of action. There's still no joint press conference by politicians, law enforcement, and clergy detailing how they will tackle the problem. There's still no marches on city halls and state capitols demanding action. It's just business as usual. Are you still wondering why?

Damn shame. In the meantime, our politicians and clergy still don't give a shit. There's still no joint press conference explaining what or how they will tackle this mess. There's no marches on city halls and state capitols demanding action. It's like people are just keeping their collective heads in  the sand and hoping it will all blow over. Now that's a damn shame.

There's one dead and three other people wounded today alone. Monday through Friday there is a total of 17 people hit by gunfire. Saturday isn't even over with. In the meantime, our politicians and clergy still don't give a fuck. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 3 wounded in Thursday shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/3-wounded-in-thursday-shootings-chicago/



It's Friday and so far we've had 10 people wounded in the course of four days. Meanwhile, our politicians and clergy continue ignoring the carnage. There's still no press conference explaining what they will do. There's still no protest at city halls and state capitols demanding action. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 2 wounded in Wednesday shootings

I could have took the lazy route and copied and pasted yesterdays post. But where's the fun in that? So here we go. Meanwhile our politicians and clergy continue not giving a shit. There's still no joint press conference detailing what they will do. There's still no marches on city halls and state capitols demanding action. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 2 shot in Chicago Tuesday

Even with a low number like such, our politicians and clergy still don't give a damn. There's still no joint press conference explaining an attack plan. There's still no marches on city halls and state capitols demanding action. And last but not least, the silence from the governor-elect is stunning. Are you still wondering why?

Alright, you know how this goes. Meanwhile, our politicians and clergy continue ignoring the carnage. There's still no joint press conference detailing how they will fight it. There's still no protest at city halls and state capitols demanding action. If this is the status quo, the mini-terrorist will keep on killing and maiming. Are you still wondering why?

I see the terrorist did most of their damage on Sunday. In the meantime, our politicians and clergy still don't give a damn. You can always tell this by their lack of outrage and action. So far, the let them kill each other off strategy isn't working. Stop and frisk should only be used for known gang members and their associates. If you have a "list" why not use it? I'm sure the ACLU would not have any objections for such actions? The simplest legislative action would be labeling them as domestic terrorist. Doing such, would place them in the cross-hairs of the Patriot Act. And since we know they deal in laundering their drug money, they can also be charged under RICO. So what's the holdup legislators?

My apologies for the third link. It should read "1 killed and 15 wounded" from Friday into Saturday. 500 guns and even a few replicas were turned in yesterday, and these butt-holes still managed two days of mayhem. In the meantime, our politicians and clergy still don't give a shit. Are you still wondering why?

https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2018/12/07/cta-shooting-guns/




The second link pretty much sums up the cities response towards gun violence. Confusion. Anyway, I've stated before this violence spreads like cancer. But the really sad part about all this, is the lack of attention politicians and clergy give it. We know what solutions should be in place, but because of the lack of actions from politicians, the dead and wounded keep piling up. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 6 wounded in Thursday shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/6-wounded-in-thursday-shootings/



Somewhere near the bottom of this blog post you will come across an archive and count the number of dead and wounded for each day, week, and month. It give you a good idea of what the people of this particular city must endure. I'm also sure other bloggers have similar statistics in their respective cities. I'm also sure they have the same lack of progress with their politicians and clergy. The only bright side, if you can call it that, is for two days there have been no deaths, just horribly wounded. With that being said, it's still a shame nothing is being done about it.

Madness Continues: 9 people shot Wednesday in Chicago

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2-dead-2-wounded-in-tuesday-shootings/




You know how this goes by now. As carnage continues its grip on American cities, the politicians and clergy stand by and do nothing. Law enforcement claims its hands are tied by the very same politicians and lack of trust from POC because they have a bad habit of shooting unarmed minorities. Are you still wondering why you don't see joint press conferences and protest?

Madness Continues: 3 killed, 4 wounded in Monday shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/3-killed-4-wounded-in-monday-shootings/




Meanwhile, our politicians and clergy continue ignoring the carnage. Some claim that when the weather gets warm, crime rates go up, and when it gets cooler, the rates go down. One thing that I found that remains at a consistent level is the lack of action by these so-called political leaders. There's still no joint press conference from any of them. There's still no marches on city halls and state capitols. Are you still wondering why?

So a horrific total of twenty-seven shot with four dead over the weekend. The saddest part, the bulk of the mayhem was done Sunday. In the meantime, our politicians and clergy continue ignoring the carnage. There's still no joint press conference from politicians, law enforcement, and community leaders explaining what they will do. There's still no marches on city halls and state capitols demanding action. Are you still wondering why?

Allow this explanation. The first day of this month nine people were shot with one fatality. Since that time, two more people were killed along with six more wounded. The two deaths and additional wounded were from today. Yes, Sunday. So far, the running total since Friday is nineteen shot with three dead. That is just astounding and as usual, nothing is being done about it. Are you still wondering why?

In the meantime, our politicians and clergy continue ignoring the carnage. There's still no joint press conference explaining what they will do about it. There's still no protest being held at city halls and state capitols across the nation. Need I say more?

Madness Continues: 4 teens wounded in Monday shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/chicago-4-teens-wounded-in-monday-shootings/





Any bets the majority of the victims are on the documented gang members list? Another thing that caught my attention, is the fact this didn't happen in what they call an impoverished neighborhood. Rogers Park and West Rogers Park isn't know for extreme levels of poverty. So why are they also turning out gang members? Simple answer, when they tore down the projects around there, they dispersed the mini-terrorist into those areas. This insanity spreads like cancer and yet, our politicians and clergy continue ignoring it.

Wow! The suggestion that a little rain drove the mini-terrorist indoors is astounding. I wonder what effect the snow will have today? In any event, the one thing you can count on is the deafening silence from politicians and clergy.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/1-killed-four-wounded-from-friday-shootings-in-chicago/




Well, Thanksgiving is over and now we march towards 2019. Yet, for some odd reason the mini-terrorist remain unfazed and continue their murderous ways. They spread from one neighborhood into another like cancer and our politicians and clergy continue ignoring them. Some people are for the death penalty, other people are against it. What will it take for us as a nation finding common ground that will quell this cancerous spread of violence? As we ponder such questions the insanity continues.

Well, if you were looking for good news this ain't the place. It's business as usual for the mini-terrorist as they continue their murderous ways. It's also business as usual for our politicians and clergy as they continue ignoring all the carnage. Still no joint press conference. Still no marches on city halls and state capitols. Are you still wondering why?

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2-killed-3-wounded-in-chicago-shootings-on-wednesday/





Yeah I know, it does appear futile sometimes but being aware of what's happening around you is important. If you are anything like myself, you may have noticed the decline or should I say, lack of outrage from the hospital shooting as the days meander on? It's not only here, but across the country.

Everyday you get up and see so many dead and so many wounded in shootings across the country. Your reactions range from disbelief, sorrow, shock, anger, and finally indifference. Yeah, you hit the indifference stage when our politicians and clergy continue doing nothing, and you're left hold the body bag or hospital bill. Like I said, it's not only here, but across the country.

Oh look over there, more shootings and more silence. Isn't it amazing how people are not fed up with this shit? There's still no mass protest at city halls and state capitols. There's still no action from legislators. And yet, here we are into another day dreading the death tally. Are you still wondering why?

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/monday-gun-violence-nov-19-2018/




What else can be said? Just watch and see if anything meaningful comes from this. Yesterday and today, officials from all walks life will be in-front of cameras saying this and that and offering prayers. We can only wait and see if they do anything about it.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/wounded-chicago-city-gun-violence-weekend-fatally/




The sad part about all of this, is the fact this insanity isn't being done out of hatred but cruel indifference. That's the makeup of pure evil. They don't care who they shoot even if it's a family member. That's why this shit happens everyday across the nation. Cruel indifference is the essence of pure evil. If you don't believe that, just look at the indifference being shown by politicians and clergy. Think about that.

Even though torture is illegal, I'd like for the asshole in the second link to be a candidate for some waterboarding. I say this because, I would like having the knowledge of how and where did he acquire the assault weapon so the rest of the assholes can face prison time. The first link is just business as usual. There's still no protest at city halls and state capitols across the nation. Police chief are not screaming at politicians demanding they repeal the very idiotic guns everywhere laws. Or better yet, advocating for universal background checks. Think about that.

Madness Continues: 5 shot in Chicago on Friday

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/5-shot-in-chicago-on-friday/




In the meantime our politicians and clergy continue ignoring the carnage. There's still no joint press conference detailing how they will fight it. There's still no mass marches on city halls and state capitols demanding gun safety legislation. Hell! a rural school board in this state is voting on arming teachers. Now why would they do that? More guns don't solve the problem. You can't fix this madness by shooting at each other? The only outcome from such a situation is you are either dead, or horribly maimed. Think about that.

I told you this shit spreads like cancer. Who can you blame? You can blame your politicians for weakening gun laws and stripping mental health funding all across the country. Now, what are you going to do about it? Well, here's a few things. You can demand campaign finance reform getting corporate money out of politics with a public funding system. The only way this can be accomplished, is by electing people that promise its implementation and holding them accountable. If we don't, this shit will continue spreading like cancer.

Another thing we can do is march on every city hall and state capitol and demand these politicians come up with legislation closing the gun show loophole and repealing the fucking guns everywhere law. Baby steps is how you stop this cancerous spread.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/1-killed-3-wounded-in-city-shootings-monday-2/




Meanwhile, our politicians and clergy continue ignoring the carnage. What more proof does one need? Where's the outrage? If you think this is bad, read the article and watch the video CBS Chicago did. Here's the link below, and I hope you do get pissed off.

https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2018/11/12/ferdinand-street-drugs-cbs2-investigates/



I understand the criminal justice process. You must encounter the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How process once you begin building a case. The only exception is when a criminal act is committed right in front of you. The cameras, if there are any, document the crime and the perpetrator/s. The police make the arrest and if necessary request warrants for additional evidence. The prosecutors present the case before a judge. The judge depending upon the plea gives a jury the deciding sentence or, the judge does it themselves. But you must ask yourself, why does it take so long when these fuck-heads are out there doing this shit everyday? Only when it reaches the news media, you see officials scramble. I hope that pisses you off.

Madness Continues: 12 wounded, 1 killed in Sunday shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/12-wounded-1-killed-in-sunday-shootings/



I was going to include the weekend shooting totals link, but it appeared misleading. The headlines was "20 shot 3 fatally", but the link had a lower account. As you can see from the Sunday link, the terrorist activities increased. Even with all that carnage, our politicians and clergy still haven't addressed this with a joint press conference. Are you still wondering why?

The first link is business as usual. The second link is a more interesting read because it addresses a major problem between citizens and law enforcement. In a nutshell, people must act by standing up and saying enough is enough. They must turn in their known gang family members before someone in their own family gets wounded or killed. Let that sink in.

Madness Continues: 4 wounded, 1 dead in Thursday shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/4-wounded-1-dead-in-thursday-shootings/



Nine days into the month of November and there's still no joint press conference detailing what will be done about this madness. If you don't believe me, just check your local section in this country. It's happening all over the country.

Just imagine what your local headlines hold for yesterday? One thing is certain, our politicians and clergy are still not demanding legislation for dealing with this sickness. Yes California does have gun safety measures in-place. But, if family and friends don't intervene, people with mental issues will continue getting guns. The same applies with states with weaker gun laws. They must step-up and prevent the infamous straw buyer by limiting gun sales. Until these actions happen, you will keep seeing these horrible headlines.

That second link is a trip. There's not much background reporting on if this clown was a repeat offender, but the charge of selling while carrying a gun raised the proverbial red flag. Maybe the judge was one of his clients? Could that be a reason his bail was reduced? I would not want to be in that judges shoes if he/she must run for retention on the bench. This "fugitive" is a classic example of why the sentencing guidelines are a complete failure and must be reformed. 40 years for dope and a gun no doubt, illegally obtained. That should have been an automatic life sentence. While all that was going on, our politicians and clergy still don't care about the shootings happening all around the country. Let both of those links sink in.

Madness Continues: 4 wounded in Sunday gun violence

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/4-wounded-1-dead-in-chicago-weekend-shootings/




The second link should read 15 shot 2 fatally. Why it states a 4 and 1 I have no fucking idea. Aside from that, it's still business as usual with our politicians and clergy as they continue ignoring the carnage. Are you still wondering why?

It's Still Madness: 5 wounded, 2 dead in Saturday shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/saturday-shootings-nov-3-2018/




Here we are four days into a new month and we already have multiple deaths and wounded. Four fucking days and who knows how many got popped early this morning? One thing is for sure though, our politicians and clergy still don't give a fuck. That's right folks. There's still no joint press conference explaining what they will do about this madness. There's still no mass marches on city halls and state capitols across the nation demanding action. How odd?

Madness Continues: 5 wounded, 1 dead in Chicago weekend shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/4-wounded-1-dead-in-chicago-weekend-shootings/




Why the link has one less wounded is odd. But in the meantime, our politicians and clergy still don't give a damn as they continue ignoring the carnage. Since it's business as usual, why are you still wondering why? Get off your ass and VOTE so we all can end this madness.

Madness Continues: 6 wounded, 1 dead in Thursday shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/6-wounded-1-dead-in-thursday-shootings/



Damn shame isn't it? More wounded, more dead and still no mass marches on city hall or downstate. There's still deafening silence from our politicians and clergy. There's still no joint press conference from anyone in a leadership position explaining how they will fight this insanity. Why the inaction? Why the silence?

What's so hard about universal background checks? A majority of gun owners support this legislation. The problem is you have a GOP house and senate who don't give a damn what the majority wants, and they refuse bringing this legislation up for a vote. The solution? Vote them out. Law enforcement agencies can't set-up a database and share firearms sales information across state lines. The ATF can't modernize their equipment because of GOP obstruction. The gun show loophole is still wide open. Citizens and states can't sue gun makers or sellers. Repeat offenders stroll through the revolving door of criminal justice with no reform or enforcement of current laws insight.

That's some major problems with simple solutions in plain sight. So why the inaction? Why the silence?

As you already know there's still no marches on city hall and downstate. You can also include no press conference from political and religious leaders explaining a plan combating violence. The second link is a sprinkle of good news but, you must hope prosecutors and judges don't do the revolving door shit with the repeat offenders. The last link is a complete head scratching event. Not one parent ran out there and slapped the holy shit out of their teen. Not one cop grabbed a teen violating the law and placed them under arrest. What the fuck?

Madness Continues: 8 shot — 1 fatally — Tuesday in Chicago

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/tuesday-shootings-oct-30-2018/





What else can I say? Well, here's a few things you can do. Go online or pickup your local news source and see how many people were shot where you live. After you've done that, check your television news and see if there's any press conference coverage or, any coverage of protest at any city hall and state capitols. I''ll bet you there is none. Think about that.

Madness Continues: 6 wounded in Monday shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/6-wounded-in-monday-shootings/





If you don't what I'm about to type, you haven't been paying attention and not demanding action. Well, as you can see by the body count yesterday, our politicians and clergy still don't give a damn. There's still no joint press conference explaining what they will do about it. There's still no mass marches on city hall and downstate. That alone speaks volumes.

It's Still Madness: Sunday toll: 26 shot, 3 killed in Chicago

Bloody Sunday. Meanwhile, our politicians and clergy continue ignoring the carnage. There's still no joint press conference explaining what they will do about it. There's still no mass marches on city hall and downstate demanding action. With that being said, are you still wondering why?

The first link is from yesterday, but the second link is from this morning and it isn't even noon. Not surprisingly, is the typical lack of response from political and religious leaders. And to top all of this off, the GOP says it's your fault for not being armed so you can shoot back. Yeah, let that sink in.

Conflicting links for yesterday and the early morning hours. One thing is for sure, our politicians and clergy are doing a bang-up job at ignoring all of this terrorism. The last link is a bit of good news under tragic circumstances. Police have gotten some of the terrorist behind bars. Now let's hope the prosecutors and judge involved don't let these monsters back on the streets. You can bet all of them are repeat offenders, so let's enforce the new law dealing with people of this ilk. 

Madness Continues: 3 wounded, 1 killed Thursday in Chicago shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/3-wounded-1-killed-thursday-in-chicago-shootings/





Sadly, it's not just this city. I've stated before just look around the local sections of any newspaper in major cities you'll see similar numbers. You will also see the same lack of action from politicians and their respective religious leaders. There's no marches on any of their city halls or state capitols. There's no union police presidents or even police chiefs screaming for gun safety legislation. Think about that.

How does anyone in their right mind trust law enforcement officials when they refuse demanding something be done about this madness? Why didn't they rally the people when the Russian back NRA paid off GOP politicians into passing guns everywhere laws? Think about that.

It's Still Madness: 10 wounded Wednesday in city gun violence

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/copa-video-bridgeport-police-shooting-man-knife/




Given the fact no one died yesterday, it's still insane that ten people were hit by bullets. Five of them were hit on one street. But as you have already guessed it, there was no press conference. There was no march on city hall and downstate. Nothing but the silence of political and religious crickets. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 8 wounded in Chicago shootings Tuesday

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/8-wounded-in-chicago-shootings-tuesday-2/




The terrorist have doubled the body count from last Tuesday where only four people were wounded. In the meantime, it's still business as usual because our politicians and clergy continue ignoring all the carnage. There's still no press conference from elected and those running for office, explaining how they will fight this. There's still no marches on city hall and downstate by religious leaders and their followers demanding action. Why?

Madness Continues: 2 killed, 12 wounded in Chicago shootings Monday

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2-killed-12-wounded-in-chicago-shootings-monday/




It's bad enough these terrorist are running free on the streets, now they are shooting up funeral processions before, during, and after. Yet, in the meantime our politicians and clergy clearly don't give a damn. You can tell this by their lack of action. They still haven't held a press conference explaining how they will tackle this problem. The county sheriff announced a "task force" that will monitor funeral and burial processions of get this, "known gang members" so shootings like the one yesterday don't happen again. Yeah, it's gotten that bad.

Madness Continues: 10 shot — 3 killed — in Sunday gun violence

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/sunday-shootings-chicago-oct-21-2018/



Are you honestly surprised? Well, you shouldn't be. Our politicians and clergy clearly don't give a shit. That's why you don't see them holding a press conference informing us of how they will deal with this. In my honest opinion, they just hope these buffoons just kill each other off, just as long as innocent bystanders are far and few. I know, that's a harsh reality but, look at the lack of action from our so-called leadership. Now, are you still wondering why?

It's Still Madness: 6 shootings struck Chicago Saturday, leaving 3 dead, 4 wounded

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/6-shootings-struck-chicago-saturday-leaving-3-dead-4-wounded/




The ugly total so far is 18 overall with 6 deaths. That's just messed up beyond reason. If only there was a law that can track gun sales, law enforcement could find out how many habitual buyers are out there. I say that because we have a serious problem with "Straw-Buyers". These are your modern day gun runners. There's also Internet sales that prevent law enforcement from knowing how guns are passed on too convicted felons. You see, if our politicians and clergy actually gave a fuck, they demand legislation addressing even those two problems.  Alas, the politicians ignore it and the clergy would rather block up a fucking expressway instead of city hall and the state capital. Are you still wondering why?

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/6-wounded-in-shootings-thursday/



After two o'clock in the morning till around ten yesterday night these brain dead terrorist managed wounding six people. That's just simply insane. In the meantime, our politicians and clergy continue ignoring all of it. There's still no marches on city hall and downstate. There's still no press conference from the mayor and governor. There's still no press conference from the people running for mayor, governor, and state attorney. Six people were wounded yesterday and no one in or running for office cares. Are you still wondering why?

The third link is the first shooting for Thursday. In the meantime, it's business as usual for our politicians and clergy as they continue ignoring the carnage. There's still no press conference from the mayor, governor, or the candidates running for mayor, governor, and of all things attorney general. There's still no marches by religious leaders on city hall and downstate. Deep down in their twisted minds, they are just hoping these terrorist kill each other off regardless of civilians getting hit in the crossfire. Are you still wondering why?

Four people shot in one day is still too many. Sadly, we already have one death from a shooting today. In the meantime, our politicians and clergy are still ignoring all this carnage. Still no marches on city hall and downstate. Think about that.

Meanwhile, our politicians and clergy continue ignoring all this insane carnage.Like I've stated before, it's not just this city, it's happening all over the country. If you don't believe me just pick up your local newspaper, or go online and check your local section. What you will find even more astounding, is the lack of marches and action. It is just reprehensible. Are you still wondering why?

27 shot with two dead over the weekend is beyond fucked up. But, you can rest assured our politicians and clergy still ain't doing shit about it. Think about it. The lack of action is astounding. The city council meets damn-near everyday and not one politician or religious leader is there raising hell about the lack of action. Not one politician or religious leader is raising hell downstate. Are you still wondering why?

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/saturday-shootings-oct-13-2018/

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/weekend-shootings-oct-15-2018/



Damn shame isn't it? One thing that we can all count on, is the lack of action from politicians and clergy. There's still no marches on city hall and downstate. There's a gun bill or two collecting dust in Springfield. Lastly, those marches on the expressways and Lake Shore Drive, didn't do shit in deterring these terrorist from their murderous ways. If these politicians and clergy ever wish to be serious in doing something about these terrorist, they must shutdown the revolving door criminal justice system and give these terrorist life in prison. They are repeat offenders after-all.

That's a pretty straightforward solution. After-all, if you have a "documented gang member list, why not use it against them? That is a sure-fire way of slamming that revolving criminal justice system door shut. Give the terrorist life in prison. They are repeat offenders after-all.

Meanwhile, our politicians and clergy continue ignoring the carnage. There's still no marches on city hall and downstate. They are not demanding more cameras be put in-place so police and prosecutors can finally arrest and charge these repeat offenders. They are not doing anything. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 4 slain in city gun violence Thursday — 6 others wounded

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/chicago-shootings-october-11-2018/




Well that didn't take long for the terrorist resorting back too their murderous ways. In the meantime, our politicians continue ignoring all of it, and there's still no marches on city hall or downstate. Are you still wondering why?

Meanwhile, there's still no marches on city hall and downstate demanding action and accountability.

Boy! These fucking terrorist just don't let up do they? In the meantime, there's still no marches on city hall or downstate, and I don't see our religious leaders holding press conferences or rallying the communities they take money from. They are just sitting back and ignoring all of it. Amazing isn't it?

Another week gone by and still no mass protest at city hall or downstate. There's a monster walking around Rogers Park that outright killed two people and not one person has come forward and turned him in. Are you seriously still wondering why nothing is being done?

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/saturday-shootings-kill-2-year-old-boy-wound-8-other-people/



Why am I not surprised at the lack of outrage? A child is dead but the major headline in local papers is who won a running contest. No marches on city hall and downstate. No press conference from religious leaders denouncing the violence and a call for action. No press conference from the mayor and governor denouncing the violence and a call for action. No press conference from all the candidates running for mayor, state attorney, state assembly, alderman, or alderwoman, denouncing the violence and a call for action. Nothing. Are you still wondering why?

It's business as usual for our politicians and clergy as they continue ignoring the carnage. Expect nothing less until, like a cancer, it spreads and affects them or their wealthy donors. But, that second link is just simply another reason why the people do not trust the police.

Instead of looking at the evidence presented, this shameless ass-clown cannot force himself admitting the officer fucked-up. That's all what the people wanted. The officer fucked-up and must be held accountable. Another cop on the other hand, fucked-up and now convictions are being thrown out left and right. Did the shameless FOP president issue a statement? Nope. You didn't hear shit but crickets. Why did he feel a need for calling this trial a "sham" and not the other cops fuck-up? Is it because one is White and the other Black? I'm just asking because I think this gives people a reason why they don't trust police officers. We see and hear what you do, and don't do.

Is the racist political strategy of letting them kill each other off working? We'll have to wait and see as the numbers appear like they are dropping off. Or, could it be that some of these terrorist decided going back to school could improve the economic despair they are trying to escape? Let's hope for the latter. In the meantime, there's still no march on city hall and downstate, and there's a gun safety bill still languishing downstate awaiting the governor's signature.  Are you still wondering why?

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/englewood-north-lawndale-austin-auburn-gresham-urban-institute-joyce-foundation-survey-gun-violence/



The first link is business as usual for the terrorist and politicians and clergy. The terrorist continue their murderous carnage, as the politicians and clergy look the other way. No press conference, no marches on city hall and downstate. The second link is an eye-opener and a wake-up call.

In the second link, the survey respondents brazenly stated the low risk of getting caught with a illegal firearm because of the police departments inability, or lack apprehension. Here's the excerpt from the study:

"And those who carry guns think there is little chance of being caught by police for illegally possessing or selling a firearm — or even for shooting at someone.
Wesley Skogan, a Northwestern University professor who researches crime policy, said that perception stems from the low rate at which murders are solved.
“Your risk of being shot by someone else is greater than your risks of being caught by police,” Skogan said. “If you think somebody is coming after you, you shoot them first because there isn’t going to be any justice afterward if you’re shot.”

That is truly mind-blowing but so sadly true. If that isn't an eye-opener and wake-up call, I don't know what is.

A grand weekend total of  twenty one people shot with six deaths. Meanwhile, it's business as usual with our politicians and clergy as they continue ignoring all the carnage. Still no press conference. Still no marches on city hall and downstate.

A landlords body was found in a sewer on the Southside, within a week the two people were caught and charged with his murder. Yet these terrorist, with very few exceptions continue being roaming our streets because people refuse turning them in. You know who they are. They will turn on you soon. The police know who they are but can't bring them to justice because of you. The pastor, preacher, and other religious figures know who they are, but still refuse turning them in. Are you still wondering why there's no press conference or marches at city hall and downstate?

Damn shame. Along with the two dead, five other people were wounded yesterday. With that being said, we now have over twenty (20) people shot since Sunday. I use Sunday as the beginning of the week others, consider Monday but it really doesn't matter with all the dead and wounded bodies piling up for one week. What does matter is the lack of action from political and religious leaders in this city, state, and country. Again I ask, where's the march on city hall and downstate?

Some people say the Sunday is the beginning of the week. Others say Monday. Debate it all you want, but the fact is so far 19 people have been shot in this short span of days with several deaths. Today is Wednesday who knows how many will feel a bullet tear through their skin. There is one thing that's certain. You can bet your politicians and clergy will not do a damn thing about it.

That's fucked up for a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. But, what's really fucked up is the lack of leadership. That's right, another horrific weekend of gun violence and mass shootings and not one word from politicians and clergy. The republicans claim they are the party of personal responsibility, law and order, and protectors of the second amendment. The democrats state they are for public safety, equal rights for all, common sense gun legislation, and health care for all. But neither are will to do anything about this insane gun violence around the nation. Sure every time a certain group are impacted, they pass meaningless legislation. What they don't do is, go after the gun industry and states with weaker gun laws. Take Florida as an example. It's a hell hole for weak gun laws and the state had the audacity trying to sue a mayor for enacting gun safety legislation. That's totally fucked up.

Damn shame. A total of 25 people shot in just two fucking days with one death. Yet, the really sad part in all of this is our politicians lack of leadership. Think about that for a few seconds. That's the problem when we keep electing the wrong people. After all the voting is done, we find out they are not beholden to us, but the corporations and NRA. The only time they will hold a press conference or pass legislation on gun safety, is when they sense retribution from us very same voters. Are you still wondering why?

If you think the first link is bad, check out the second one. It's not even noon and five people have already been shot today. It's not even noon and no press conference from the mayor, governor, local and state representatives. I don't know about you but, five people shot in one area constitutes a mass shooting. Where's the outrage? Not a fucking peep. Still wondering why?

I told you it spreads like cancer. The big question is, what are the politicians going to do about it? Last night there was a televised debate of the candidates running for governor. The moderator failed badly and never asked what these men would do about gun safety. The moderator just let them talk about how much money they spend and fucking toilets. Enjoy your weekend as that sinks in.

Isn't it odd the mayor hasn't held a press conference or confronted the the driver of the car where the baby and teen were wounded? This is one reason why our politicians should write legislation holding parents and relatives responsible when shit like this happens. The dude refuses cooperating with police. That is a giant red flag. He knows who fired the shots and I'm willing to bet, he's a "documented gang member".  Are you still wondering why?

No press conference from the candidates running for mayor, governor, state attorney, and legislative seats. No press conference from any pastor, preacher, Rabi, imam, or monk. The fucking silence is ridiculous. Are you still wondering why?

Well, what more can one say? The daily body count marches on as the politicians continue ignoring all of it. But, don't worry you will see them in-front of press cameras again when 80 or more get shot within a weeks time. That's one thing you can count on along with the bodies.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/weekend-shootings-sept-17-2018/



So much for those expressway marches. Meanwhile, our politicians continue ignoring all the carnage. Yep, business as usual with a big old nothing to see here folks. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 1 killed, 6 wounded in Saturday shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/1-killed-6-wounded-in-saturday-shootings/




The terrorist have been very busy this weekend. I wonder where all those able-bodied police officers on desk duty are? In the meantime, our politicians are continuing doing nothing as the bodies pile up. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 16 shot — 3 killed — Friday in city shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/friday-shootings-sept-14-2018/




What can I say? Those numbers are beyond appalling. Yet, here we are again, watching absolutely nothing being done, or addressed about it. Sure, you can go block an expressway or two but that doesn't bring legislation into law. You must protest at city hall and down state everyday. You also must vote for people that will actually do something about this insane carnage. Get it? Good, now go vote.

Madness Continues: 6 people shot, 1 fatally, in Chicago Thursday

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/federal-drug-gun-probe-little-village/




Kind of a good news bad news day Thursday. More shootings and death, that's the bad news. The good news is, a bunch of assholes got caught with drugs and guns. In the meantime, our politicians continue ignoring carnage and the marching pastor still hasn't taken his protest downtown or down state. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: Teen killed, 4 wounded in shootings Wednesday

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/teen-killed-4-wounded-in-shootings-wednesday/



Meanwhile, our politicians and clergy continue ignoring the carnage. I'm still baffled why that pastor hasn't marched on city hall or lead a group down state? One would think if he wants effective change, he'd begin his protest there. I mean, come on dude kids are getting shot and killed. Where's your march in those neighborhoods?

Madness Continues: 12 wounded, including 5 teens, in Chicago shootings Tuesday

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/12-wounded-including-5-teens-in-chicago-shootings-tuesday/



It's back to school time and so far 8 teenagers have been shot in two day. There were 3 teens shot Monday, and now 5 teens yesterday. I noticed the mayor hasn't held a press conference yet. One would think with 8 kids getting shot in two days would be a red flag but, since it's a Black and Brown "thing" no one really cares. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 7 people, including 3 teens, wounded in Monday shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/7-people-including-3-teens-wounded-in-monday-shootings/



Meanwhile, it's business as usual with our politicians as they continue ignoring the carnage. Three kids shot by a school, no press conference from the mayor, state representative, or alderman/woman from the district. No religious leader suggesting a march on city hall or the state capitol. Really makes you wonder where their priorities are doesn't it? Well, I'll tell you where they hold such priorities. It's in the money they rake in.

They don't give a shit about kids getting shot unless, it's one of theirs. They laughed at the marches because it didn't affect campaign donations. The only time they will do anything, is when the money dries up. Then, and only then will you see them jump into action. It's the money they rake in. Now, are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 12 shot — 1 killed — Sunday in Chicago

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/weekend-gun-violence-chicago-sept-10-2018/





I don't know if the second link was counting just Saturday and Sunday, but it all boils down to simple insanity. Here's a question for our politicians in this state and law enforcement. Who is supplying these terrorist with guns? We know you must apply for a gun card before purchasing a weapon in this state. If you politicians are concerned about the safety of law enforcement officers, why isn't there a registry of all gun sales? There should be no debate about such a law that is needed like a gun registry, when you have a public and law enforcement safety issue of this magnitude. You politicians should focus on finding out who's getting these guns that have overflowed on our streets.

Madness Continues: 1 killed, 5 wounded in Saturday shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/1-killed-5-wounded-in-saturday-shootings/




This shit is so surreal. During the 60's and 70's (Yeah I Know I'm Old) you would watch the evening news and get nightly reports about the war in Vietnam and have similar body counts. We are 9 days into this month and the bodies keep piling up, along with the wounded. I know many people don't care because it's Black and Brown people killing and maiming each other but, innocent civilians get caught in the crossfire. While all this is going on, our politicians continue failing us by doing absolutely nothing. Just like Vietnam. Until, the people finally got fed up with it. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 5 shot — 1 killed — Friday in Chicago

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/shooting-roundup-friday-sept-7-2018/



8 days into the month and here we are again with more death and wounded. 8 days into the month and no press conference or legislation dealing with this insanity. 8 days into the month and still no march in the neighborhoods affected by this insanity. Make your vote count and finally elect people that will address this insanity.

Madness Continues: 3 wounded Thursday in city shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/thursday-city-shootings/




Correct me if I'm wrong but since Sunday, I've counted 4 dead and 29 people wounded so far, and it's not even Friday afternoon. That is just way too much violence and it is simple insanity as our politicians continue doing nothing but paying us lip service.

There is so much that can be done legislatively. Legalize marijuana and tax it like cigarettes and booze. Use those revenues for mental health services and job creation. Institute universal background checks. Close the fucking gun show loophole, and hold gun manufacturers and states with weaker gun laws accountable and subject to lawsuits. It's way past time our politicians start doing something, instead of nothing but paying us lip service.

Madness Continues: 1 killed, 7 wounded in shootings Wednesday

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/1-killed-7-wounded-in-shootings-wednesday-2/




You realize we are only 6 days into this month and well over 25 people have been shot with double digit fatalities? 6 fucking days.

Meanwhile, our politicians continue ignoring all this carnage. At this pace, come 18 days that will be over 75 shot and God knows how many killed. Imagine if these terrorist pick up the pace like they did on their murderous weekend last month? This is serious and there has not been one press conference so far. 6 fucking days.

Madness Continues: 1 killed, 4 wounded by gunfire Tuesday

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/1-killed-4-wounded-by-gunfire-tuesday/



So much for that march on an expressway. Oh, and by the way, there was a shooting on the Edens expressway. Where were you? In the meantime, our politicians and clergy continue ignoring this everyday carnage going on the streets of this city. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 6 wounded in city shootings Monday

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/6-wounded-in-city-shootings-monday/



Meanwhile, the march and politicians continue having no effect on the carnage that went on overnight. When you think about it, that police presence could have been better served in the communities where the shootings occurred. Maybe someone should bring that to the attention of that pastor.

Madness Continues: 10 shot — 2 killed — Sunday in shootings across Chicago

https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2018/09/02/extra-officers-out-in-force-for-the-holiday-weekend/

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/9-shot-2-killed-in-sunday-shootings-across-chicago/



Even with the extra cops out there these idiots still pulled off another bloody weekend. And if that wasn't bad enough, that pastor still wants to clog up an expressway instead of marching where the shootings take place.

Let's face it. This expressway thing, is just an exercise in futility. They kept shooting after the Dan Ryan. They kept shooting after Lake Shore Drive. They will keep shooting after the Kennedy march is done. I get your purpose for doing this. People are very much aware of the violence happening in Black and Brown neighborhoods. They just don't give a shit because, it isn't happening where they live. Until then, march where the shootings happen, not where they don't.

Madness Continues: 2 killed, 6 wounded Saturday in citywide shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/saturday-shootings-roundup-sept-2-2018/



Meanwhile, our politicians continue ignoring the carnage. It took one bloody weekend for the mayor to come out from under his bed. Now, with this steady drumbeat of bloodshed, he's nowhere to be found. Week after week, weekend after weekend, the wounded and bodies pile up with no end in sight. It's September and we already have 2 people dead and 6 people wounded from gunfire. It isn't even noon as I type this on a Sunday, and there has already been two more people shot.

Madness Continues: 9 shot — 2 fatally — Friday in city shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/chicago-gun-violence-friday-shootings-aug-31/



Meanwhile, a pastor wants a march on an expressway instead of marching where the shootings happen. Think about that for a second. If you saturate the area where the shootings occur, they can't commit crimes because of the heavy police presence. It's all about priorities. Inconveniencing motorist in all honesty, doesn't bring sympathy for your cause. Let's be honest. Racist Whites don't care about Black and Brown people killing each other. As long as it is not happening where they live on a daily basis, they simply don't care. So, clogging up the expressway will only make them more madder and racist. If you really want to make an impact, go where the shootings happen. 

Madness Continues: 2 killed, 4 wounded Thursday in city shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2-killed-4-wounded-thursday-in-city-shootings/



Damn shame. Well, it's Friday and the shoot them up clock begins. One can bet the shootings from yesterday will prompt so form of retaliation strikes across the city. Don't forget, the police have a "known gang member list" and they've stated (Paraphrasing here), when these shootings happen, they check on potential retaliatory targets because of that list. Here's a better idea. Reinstate the gangs crime task force and put bodies on these gang members. Meanwhile, our politicians are keeping their heads in the sand. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 9 wounded in city shootings Wednesday

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/9-wounded-in-city-shootings-wednesday/



Meanwhile, our politicians and clergy continue ignoring the mass carnage on a daily basis. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 1 killed, 11 wounded in shootings across Chicago Tuesday

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/1-killed-11-wounded-in-shootings-across-chicago-tuesday/



Keeping it short today. Meanwhile guns were found on a "party bus" and not one person was arrested. There was no reason given why.

Madness Continues: 2 children dead, 4 men wounded in Monday shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2-children-dead-4-men-wounded-in-monday-shootings/


Meanwhile, we still are watching if our politicians will ever introduce universal background check legislation. So far, nothing. And in the event you forgot, there's still over 300 able-bodied police officers on desk duty. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 9 wounded Sunday in Chicago shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/8-wounded-sunday-in-chicago-shootings/

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/chicago-weekend-shootings-august-27-2018/


300 able-bodied cops are doing desk work, and the mayor is doing absolutely nothing to fix this. The only thing we can do is keep an eye on city "jobs" website and see if any positions open up. Should there be an opening, apply people. In the meantime, our other politicians continue ignoring the carnage. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 5 wounded Saturday in city shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/5-wounded-saturday-in-city-shootings/

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/chicago-weekend-shootings-august-27-2018/


Clogging up an expressway isn't going to solve this insanity. If this pastor really wants to make an impact, bring the protest into the areas where the shootings happen and point out the fact there are no cameras there. If and when these murderous ghouls know they are being watched, maybe, just maybe they'll discover they have a brain and will not pull that trigger. In the meantime, our politicians continue burying their heads in the sand. Ask yourself this. Where are the minority alderman/women, and state representatives where these shootings happen? I haven't seen any holding a press conference. Have you?

Madness Continues: 3 killed, 11 wounded Friday in Chicago shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/3-killed-11-wounded-friday-in-chicago-shootings/



One would think this is a good time for getting healthy officers off desk duty and finally hiring civilians. Civilians can answer phones, operate computers, and do paperwork just as good as any cop. I know, I worked at central booking as a teen and was very good at it. In the meantime, it's business as usual for our politicians as they continue ignoring this insane carnage. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 2 killed, 4 wounded Thursday in citywide shootings

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2-killed-4-wounded-thursday-in-citywide-shootings/



Can't we go one week without any shootings? Nope. As long as we can go online and skip into Indiana, guns will always be a problem for the State of Illinois. If only law-abiding minorities bought and openly carried guns on the streets, only then would you see lawmakers scrambling for more aggressive gun control legislation. It happened before.

Remember when Blacks got so fed up with police brutality in California? They began openly carrying weapons legally. The racist quickly shit their collective pants and the next thing you know, that law was repealed. It happened before and it can happen again.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/man-shot-killed-while-stopped-at-red-light-near-university-of-chicago-campus/



So that's two dead and six wounded yesterday. Meanwhile, it's business as usual with our politicians, parents, and clergy as they continue ignoring this insane carnage. We need universal background checks. We need a national database so law enforcement can share information quickly on where these guns are coming and going. We also need the ability to sue states with weaker gun laws. We need prosecutors to throw the book at repeat offenders. Are you still wondering why nothing is being done?

Madness Continues: 4 men wounded in Tuesday shootings across Chicago

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/4-men-wounded-in-tuesday-shootings-across-chicago/




Meanwhile, hundreds of cops still work desk jobs. Past and present mayors promised they would hit the streets and civilians would fill those positions. Promise broken. Over 50 plus people shot over the weekend and the governor vetoes education bills that could help these under siege neighborhoods. You can't hold a good job/career without a great education. So there you have it. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 4 wounded in shootings Monday

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/4-wounded-in-shootings-monday/


https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/emanuel-tough-questions-garfield-park-fieldhouse-shooting-kenwon-parker/



Now that second link has a very damn good question presented by the mayor. (Paraphrasing here) Who gives a fucking 13 year old a gun? When we find out, that asshole must be held accountable. In the meantime, 4 more people were shot yesterday. With the gunshot detectors not being deployed where they are really needed along with cameras, and parents, relatives, neighbors and friends not turning these shitheads in, this shit will continue happening across the city. Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 21 shot — 3 fatally — in Chicago Sunday

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/chicago-weekend-gun-violence-august-20-2018/


Meanwhile, the governor vetoed three education bills and the mayor is missing in action. This is standard normal behavior of elected officials that just hope all Black and Brown people just kill each other off. Are you still wondering why shutting down expressways will never work?

Madness Continues: Saturday shootings: 1 killed, 17 wounded across Chicago

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/saturday-shootings-1-killed-17-wounded-across-chicago/



Meanwhile, it's business as usual with our politicians as they show zero interest in the daily shooting casualties. You will only see them appear when the body counts closes in on a hundred or more for one weekend. Other than that, they will remain silent and continue hoping they all just kill each other off. That's not an urban legend. That's exactly how they think when it comes to crime in minority neighborhoods. It's their unspoken "code". Are you still wondering why?

Madness Continues: 23 shot — 1 fatally — Friday in Chicago gun violence

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/chicago-gun-violence-friday-summary-23-shot/




So a pastor thinks clogging up an expressway instead of being in these war zones will stop the violence? If they were marching in Englewood last night that mass shooting may have never happened. You would have had a higher number of police in the area. Remember the Back Of The Yards incident where an ATF agent got shot? Law enforcement flooded that neighborhood for a period of time and guess what? No shootings until they left.

So go ahead pastor. Clog up an expressway instead of getting into where the shootings happen. All that will do is divert police resources from the areas you claim your saving, or bring attention too. Just remember the Back Of The Yards neighborhood when law enforcement flooded it. No shootings until they left.

Madness Continues: 2 people killed — 4 wounded — Thursday in city gun violence

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/chicago-gun-violence-thusday-shootings/



For the pastor that wants to block up expressways, you are marching in the wrong places. You need those marches in these neighborhoods where the shootings happen. You need to demand they put cameras and police on foot in these areas. You are going about this in the wrong way. Ever since the first protest the shootings keep happening. What you are doing is a classic definition of doing the wrong thing over and over expecting a different outcome. It doesn't work. It never has, and never will. You need an all out attack on the root of the problem. Drugs.

Madness Continues: 1 killed, 6 wounded in shootings Wednesday

https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/1-killed-6-wounded-in-shootings-wednesday/



Meanwhile, some journalist posted a story attempting to lay the blame on an incarcerated drug lord for all the violence. I take it he forgot mentioning that any Joe blow can stroll into Indiana and buy a gun of their choice with no questions asked. And there the problem is laid bare. It's bad enough our politicians are puppets of the NRA, but lazy journalism is even worse.

Think about that if you ever become an editor of a newspaper or investigative magazine. Make sure your reporters do their due diligence and bring the facts and not puff piece bullshit. How does a locked up ass-clown direct who gets hit by blind bullets? We all know the dope comes from over the border. The only shit we can grow here is weed not poppy plants. So ask yourself, why haven't the fields been burned or sprayed with Roundup? Now there's a story for even a lazy journalist. He/She can't fuck that up or make it worse.
