In reply to the discussion: 3 charged in shooting of 4-year-old girl [View all]Eleanors38
(18,318 posts)64. A clear example of the smear and animosity used by controllers.
You need to get past your stereotypes and prejudices and baiting and look at hard facts, including the ones I recounted. Either recognize the concentration of homicides in Urban areas committed by Repeat Felons -- and thereby have the opportunity to address on many levels that oft-overlooked problem -- or deny the hard facts and go about on a self-serving rant (inevitably built around "racism"
and let the problem fester until the next "gentile" mass murder distracts your attention from the Urban murders.
Please, in the future keep your accusations to yourself, and move the duscussion beyond DU-sanctioned hatred and attack. It doesn't do this country -- and obviously the Party -- any good to persist in that approach.

Most of the guns are being funneled in from Indiana gun shows. Chicago sounds like a war zone

True. Bubba is (was) a problem, but is only tangentially related to this crime and this story.

I never meant to suggest that you, personally, were tying bubba to the crime. I agree with you.

Carrying guns in Chicago is illegal. HAVING them is illegal. Just like where you live.

A difference may be that the laws against gun-carrying gang members in Chicago have been lax.

Switzerland does not have a standing army - it's preparation for defense is a private militia.
