Where's Rev. Al, the Justice Dept, the NAACP or anyone? Oh that's right they weren't slaughtered by overweight non-Black men so their deaths get little notice.


Chicago Weekend Shootings: 10 Dead, At Least 40 Wounded
Quote:
At least 10 people were killed and 40 others wounded in one of the most violent Chicago weekends in recent history.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that most of the victims were in their mid-teens or early 30s, with the exception of 6-year-old Aliyah Shell, who was gunned down Saturday while playing in front of her home in the Little Village neighborhood.
Two teens were arrested and charged in Aliyah's slaying Sunday.

Good thing carrying guns is against the law there. Seems to be working like a charm.

And the response will be a call for even more anti-gun laws.

Guns always seem to work like a charm... if this is the kind of "charm" one is looking for.

Yeah, it's done wonders to curb crime. Chicago should be held up as a model for all other cities to follow.

Where's the outrage from the Average Black Everyman? Travon Martin stole all the love for dead black men? There's none left to go around?

Is this yet another thread against your own race or is this about gun control?

EdwardA is a realist and a pragmatist. Too bad there aren't more black men like him.

There's more to life than Loyalty To The Race.™ I promise.

That just fits in with the anti-responsibility direction society has been taking for the last couple of decades. Passing laws makes half the population happy, and not enforcing those laws satisfies the other half.
