Focus and anger? That sounds just like what a lib would say. Just hollow rhetoric. If you really want it to stop then there is only one thing when dealing with these violent callous killers and the only thing they understand, which is hard line. Anything less and it’s a joke to them.
Of course you being a lib would be against it, so ultimately nothing will get done that will fix the problem and then you libs will continue with your useless “focus and anger” meaningless talk that you think sounds nice.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Nothing you wrote makes any sense. You and your personal attack have been REPORTED! You know nothing about me, and I am not a "lib," so TRY AGAIN!
People don’t care about black on black violence. I have no idea why. If we eradicated it our overall nationwide stats would plunge, but everyone seems content to live with gang warfare and blacks killing blacks. As long as it’s not a white person doing the killing, the black community seems to be accepting of it. This is why so many Americans have turned their backs on it all.
For people who don't live in those gang infested neighborhoods, they don't see it as their problem. The only way people are going to care is if it ends up in their back yard. As long as people can move away from said problems, well....
And something else. Gang violence isn't the only problem. A large number of murders take place during arguments. People who have such severe anger issues that they feel killing someone is the answer. Mental health is an issue that is often ignored when it comes to Black men.
High crime areas need to be identified and stop and frisk needs to be reinstated.
He who would sacrifice essential liberties for temporary security deserve neither. Benjamin Franklin said that. I am against S&F on the grounds of the 4th Amendment.
It isn't my problem. If it were I'd use ANY means available to eliminate said problem(s)
Well it's my problem and I won't put up with anyone trying to violate my Constitutional rights. And you haven't given me a reason as to why I should. I'd rather be dead than live under quasi-dictatorship.

Not likely but knowing my neighbors, we pretty much all agree on how we want our neighborhood to be.
Criminal activity against us, ours and our possessions would not be tolerated.
Like I said, people will only deal with the problem when forced to do so. If you don't live in an area where gang violence is occurring, you won't be thinking about it. I live in a peaceful neighborhood. I don't think about gang violence. I'd think about it alot more if I live in a neighborhood rife with it. And you proved that if it came to your neighborhood, you'd be forced to do something about it.

It's a shame too because I know lots of black folks who are really good people and it's terrible that often they fall victim by individuals from their own culture, yet it goes completely unnoticed, precisely because it's a black on black crime. Do you know what it's like to be close with someone that falls victim in this exact type of situation and then see how no one has any interest in reporting it in the news, raising the issue at town halls, etc. etc. etc. ? It's sad, a total shame, and pathetic.
It's like recently Jimmy Kimmel gets in the news for using the "N" word back in 1990 or something like that when he apparently did a skit as Snoop Dogg doing one of his rap tunes.
That's rich. Snoop Dogg uses the word in his rap tunes and it's cool, but have a stupid comedian doing the same rap tune with the word in it and all hell breaks loose. That's exactly how this BLM thing goes too. Blacks are killing each other and it goes unnoticed, yet, have a non-white involved and it's all game on like Donkey Kong.
Trump went easy on Chicago at his Arizona rally tonight. He mentioned Philadelphia. I kind of forget about that town, Bmore and Saint Louis as well.
So trying to disband the actual local police force makes banning ICE seem right in their league.
You democrats must really want your Trump Landslide, huh?
Fascinating.
So we find that the 3rd or whateverthehell precinct in Minneapolis told the police force to clear out their lockers because they were sacrificing the precinct to the looting arsonists so they might calm down.
Folks in Minneapolis should stop paying their taxes.
Defund the F'ing government.

Last year, Chicago had 55 million overnight visitors. Chicago and Orlando compete for second place for trade shows. Visitors spend huge suns on lodging, dining, shopping and entertainment. They have no reason to spend time or money in the dangerous communities.
Of course this year will be different. Tourism, trade shows, annual events, like Lolapalooza and hundreds of annual events have been cancelled. The beaches remain closed.
I'm sure if I went and hung out up in Schaumburg or took the L to the Orbits for some potato pancakes or hung out up Michigan Ave or the Loop, I could hang out with rich whitey.
What if I went down to the south side and found some Blues Clubs like where my buddy Magic Slim played, would you join me.

So yes, Trump did his part.
Beyond that, Trump being the head of the Federal government can’t really do anything else if the Democrat mayor does not allow, and in every case, the Democrat mayor even attacked Trump for wanting to intervene.
The failings of Chicago and all these Democrat cities are all on the Democrats.
Aren't the democrats despicable? Folks that would do this, vote this in, be any part of this seems almost as digusting as ...

They really give 2 s...s about black lives. 104 people shot , many of them right in the neighborhood I work in 5 days a week. My black coworkers who lives around this mess don't even care about these blm protests, they are busy making sure their kids don't get shot on the way to the playground. (Im not making this up.)
Just wait, July 4th will be real bad. It always is but this year....
Yes.
We hear you.
All politics aside for just a second, this is the United States of America. We are Americans.
This used to mean something, especially in our darkest moments, when we used to come together and thrive.
Laroy Battle shoots dead two high school kids for asking him how tall he was. 6'3, evidently.
Something like 15 killed in Chicago this weekend, one of them being a 20 month old child.
I'm gonna be over here holding my breath, waiting for black lies murder to respond...
