The mainstream media's silence makes one wonder if they care about people living in the inner city.

I'm sure it's only a coincidence that this explosion in gun violence is happening not too long after Chicago's handgun ban was lifted.

When a species propagates exponentially like what has occurred in the rust belt cities what should be expected other than killing each other off?

Why?

35 Hurt, 7 Killed in Chicago Shootings | NBC Chicago

The Empire State building shooting is disturbing enough but, isn't this even more heinous?

Once again, I'm calling 2012, the summer of blood.
Is that in 0bama's old senate district?

Also, you are overdoing it with your title.



We don't need another one of you. Go cry about Chicago somewhere else.



You don't know the context of the shootings. Way to be ignorant about a topic yet run your mouth. I'm not surprised.
LOL

Nah, I'll complain about my corrupt city all I want.

You have to try to be wrong because ignorance can only go so far.

This has nothing to do with corruption. And all you do is complain. I'm not saying you can't, but you are at the point of pathetic.

If the 19 reported in the post you tore into had all been killed I wonder how many would have been wounded. I think you took a swing at truth with a falsely stated attempt at deflection.

Urban violence in general doesn't get that much coverage in the US media. It's a depressing subject. Chicago doesn't even have anywhere near the highest murder rate among American cities, sadly enough.

I really don't see what the problem is.
Finally, we get the word from the left leaners. GET THOSE GUNS SO ONLY THE BAD GUYS WILL HAVE THEM.

That is what you are saying, isn't it?

Do you think there is a chance that some oif this is planned in the attempt to take up all the legal guns so only the bad guys, who, of course, won't turn theirs in, will have them? I think it may well be part of a plan.

Yeah, that argument has been proven wrong 'boy. Go look at the statistics.
