20 shot all expect to survive.

In the 24-hours of July 4, there were 12 shooting incidents with 20 victims in all five boroughs of New York City, according to the NYPD.

Seven people were shot during a barbecue in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

The gunfire broke out around Monday night in Brooklyn. Four men and three women suffered non-life threatening injuries.

And in Chicago, a city about a quarter the size of NYC, four men were killed and at least 62 other people, including three children, were wounded in shootings over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

That's more people shot in 1 day across country than in Orlando nightclub! This terrorism issue is getting out of control penetrating the hearts of Brooklyn and Chicago. Where's the national press?

Amongst stabbings that I saw reported on the news this afternoon.

I've wondered for years why people think NYC is such a great city. Much of the people are criminal, drug addicts, socially inept, stupid (literal sense here, as in having IQ's of less than 80, particularly those from the third world), mentally ill, unemployed, slovenly, and violent. And much of the place is filthy, smelly, dilapidated (look at some of the roads and shopping centers, noisy, and crowded. I currently live in a suburban area of one of the boroughs, on the borderline of LI, and I am thankful for this, but am planning to get the heck out of here next year. It's a disgusting place!

I don't get it. Why do these violent shootings always seem to happen in predominatly Blue State/liberal/progressive cities?

And why would anybody bring a gun to a family barbeque?
