hello america!!! firstly, i want you to know i do not take any homicides lightly nor do i try to belittle those speaking out against them, however, there comes a time when even i must break my own rules---i've been following & writing about all the senseless homicides in chicago (& other cities) for years & see no reason to stop now---i also had something to say when baltimore's dem rep elijah cummings showed up & sounded off during the 'freddie gray' uprisings---so, please don't think this is new to me...
what's been going on in chicago has been going on for a very, very long time & the saddest part of all of it is, it's been going on under the 'so-called leadership' of the dems &, more pathetically, under the radar of our main-stream media, the obama admin &, those protesting &/or speaking out for 'social injustice' [police abuse]...look, there's something very wrong going on in these dem-controlled cities where murders have become the 'new norm' & go unchecked & unreported---you need to open your minds up & really think about that...
here are the chicago 2016 stats---3,941 people shot & wounded (not included in this are those that were wounded but never went to a hospital or reported it)---634 of those people shot were killed & yet, 707 total homicides have been reported ---police were involved in 23 shootings (killing 8/wounding 13)---529 victims were black/111 were latino (by the way, donald trump was the only one to hammer this during his campaign)---how come this isn't front page news every day/all day??? how come main-stream media isn't camped out in chicago blasting this on tv 24/7??? why are all of those 'so-called' civil rights groups so silent??? where are our elected leaders on these unjust killings??? (i can understand why the dems are quiet because for them to make noise would be to criticize the dems that run these violent communities)---most of all, where are the collective voices &/or protests of people of color at???
on the other hand, let a cop shoot a person of color under suspicious conditions & it's all over the tv & social media; the 'big-shots' grab camera time &, the liberal left yells 'social injustice' & claim 'racism'---HMMM???
unfortunately, a black killing has made the headlines but for the wrong reasons---yesterday & today we have seen (depending on who you follow) the media reporting the murder of 15 year old javon wilson &, also unfortunately, i believe it was only covered because he is the grandson of us rep danny davis (dem/ representing illinois)---while i feel for rep davis, his grandsons death does not deserve more 'air-time' over any other chicago homide---you aren't hearing about the shooting death of 16 year old (also black) elijah house (thurs/3 nov)---you aren't hearing about the shooting death of 16 year old (also black) clarence coakley (mon/7 nov)---you aren't hearing about the shooting death of 17 year old (also black) jeremiah parker (also mon/7 nov---not connected)---& hey, you also didn't hear about a 1 year old being stomped to death (thur/10 nov)---damn, there's just far too much you don't hear about & i call that 'willful ignorance'...but, you'll raise hell if a cop shoots a black man when he has a loaded gun that he refuses to put down---are you crazy???
there have been 278 homicides in baltimore (so far) this year & 180 of the victims have been black & you don't hear crap about them---
there have been 118 black homicides in st louis (so far) this year & you don't hear crap about them---just so you know, 104 black people are suspects in those killings---
there's something terribly wrong within these violent communities & hey, maybe i'm just stupid but look at the common facts---
1...the vast majority of these communities are controlled by the dem party
2...the vast majority of these communities live around the national poverty level
3...the vast majority of these communities have high unemployment rates
4...the vast majority of these communities have high dropout rates/low education standards
5...the vast majority of these communities have a hell of a lot of unregistered fire-power
6...the vast majority of these communities continue to re-elect the dem party to power
7...the vast majority of these communities are over-run with gangs, drugs &, people willing to shoot others...
you have to be a very special kind of stupid to think that our problems with the cops needs more attention than our problems with each other---gangs, drugs & guns are being allowed into our communities & the results speak for themselves...
my stats come from---
