Correlation does not prove causation. Blacks have a high homicide rate and vote Democrat. This does not mean the high homicide rate of black Americans has anything to do with having Democrat mayors.

The left will try to pin it on evil old white guys that happen to support Trump. And the NRA of course. Never mind that neither of these shooters were white...or likely to be Trump supporters.

This is just the beginning of the downfall as for several decades, poor women have been having tremendous amounts of babies that they can't afford.

The next generation for Medicaid babies who are the vast majority of babies in LA and Baltimore are most likely going to be very upset over the circumstances of their poverty unbringings and will join dangerous gangs to fill the void of having terrible parents who had multiple babies just for the section 8, EBT, WIC and other goodies.

How are the Democrats going to implement also these luxury programs, when they can't even keep their cities under control.


It is the curse of political correctness. Everyone is afraid to voice and state the problems, so no solution will ever be formulated.

Well that sums of up Chicago (where I used to live).

If they didn't blame guns they'd have to explain why they put all the poor brown people in projects over on the other side of the interstate and train tracks with tall fences.

Well yes it is to a large extent when you have a system that leads to more poverty for some and then herd them together.

Also, we're talking about Chicago, which is a city I've lived in and understand.

If you've not lived there and haven't followed their politics and history then you're missing out on an opportunity to learn something.

They are working. Law abiding citizens are unarmed and defenseless, while the criminals rule the streets and terrorize the masses. This is how it works everywhere, when strict gun laws are created. The only thing that can prevent that (besides allowing citizens to arm and defend themselves) is to become a police state. But democrats will tell you that police are terrorizing the people, and they don't want that either.

Basically, you can't reason with lefties. They know what they want, but they have no clue how to get there, so they make demands from others that are unrealistic and largely nonsensical.
