Anyone interested in details of Chicago Mayhem should look at Heyjackass.com. It's a compilation of who shot who. It covers ethnicity, weapon choices and neighborhoods.

How about around 800,000 killed in Rwanda in 1994 (including a lot of my friends from when I worked there)?
How about close to 50 million dead in China laid at the feet of Chairman Mao? (Over decades)
How about round 100 million killed in the Soviet Union in the name of communism? (Over decades)
Nowhere in our country comes anywhere close. Several of my friends—women in their thirties—were hacked to death with machetes in the church where I worshiped with them. (Ive written about it in my book “They Don’t Eat Missionaries Anymore”.)

We are not perfect as a country but people do not realize how good we do have it. Sad that people want to remove our history to learn how we came to be where we are.

I would hate to be a black person wanting to see positive changes in my country. The violence in black communities drown out their voices and whites only want to argue statistics to justify maintaining the status quo.

If pig farmers in Alabama were shooting each other while poor whites marched in DC for social change how would they feel about the pig farmers? Not the best analogy but I have things to do.

The changes needed to turn these "animals" , "morons" etc into law abiding citizens will not come. So get used to it.

Sorry but it’s hard to feel bad for them when the local and State people in charge don’t care and have done nothing about this for many years now.

Thank God I live in The Villages!!!

No outrage here. No one walking the streets of Chicago protesting these killings. Probably because they are too scared to go there.

Reply to 104 shot in Chicago
 
Anyone who grew up in a large metro area when we were young knows that urban violence that big cities are experiencing today would never have been tolerated when we were young. Things really started to change in law enforcement and society about 1980. In the 50’s, 60’s and even the 70’s large police departments would have never put up with today’s violence. Today they want nicer touchy feely social worker police officers. Citizens want a safe environment and expect the police to handle it while the police officer worries about every decision he or she might make. They know that the police brass will not back them if they were to make that split second decision that is controversial. I am in no way condoning police brutality or supporting those bad apples. It all started with the breakdown of the family unit and discipline in school.

It's like the Nicholson movie A Few Good Men "I want the TRUTH" "You can't handle the TRUTH".. I live minutes from Ferguson Missouri and during the riots and burnings they (the media) made it look like an entire city was burning, it was not, you could ride your bike through it in a minute or two.. They made it look like 1000's of residents were destroying their own city, they were not, the residents were all barricaded in their homes while young outsiders were torching and looting.. I saw the BLM group form up close and personal and immediately knew it was here to stay because just like the Vietnam protests and the Weather Underground revolution young impressionable people need a "cause".. I work in and around Ferguson among other similar areas still today and I can tell you that I know 1st hand no less than 98% of these residents LOVE the Police and do NOT want them defunded by even one penny and they actually want MORE police in their neighborhoods not less most also do NOT support BLM in any way shape or form.. These wonderful people really just want to be left alone to raise their children in a safe drug free, gang free neighborhood away from the news camera's but sadly our Media won't show these great people, they just want to show the guns and knives and fires along with the very small group of anarchists that use them..That's the "Truth"..

True and sad.

Five children were among the 14 people killed, including a 3-year-old boy and 13-year-old girl killed in separate shootings in Austin on Saturday.
