4. Who bankrolls her crusade?
Fri Jul 11, 2014, 09:16 AM

Follow the money.

Anyone who was really concerned about gun violence in Chicago would be taking steps to avoid the gangs and drug lifestyles that are at the heart of the violence. Since buying and selling illegal street drugs is an industry with no access to the court system, business disputes are handled in a more direct fashion. No different than when Capone was selling bootleg booze during Prohibition. But that doesn't suit the current narrative that seeks to blame lawful citizens going about their daily lives for the reckless actions of a very small segment of society that observes no laws.
