You must not be a hunter. You think the rural meth cookers are a Sunday school class? From the NRA:

Chicago's mayoral race has been non-partisan since the eighties.

The other shooting happened in the FL city of Clearwater which is not a big city and has a Republican mayor. I don't blame the shooting on him but the 'stand your ground' law can be traced right back to Republicans.

Maybe it has nothing to do with the guns but the type of people? Of course the Left would never acknowledge that.
I understand this is the Politics Board but it's also called Other Controversies. I came here to discuss this incident, it only took the first reply to see the usual bashing of Democrats that permeates every thread on this board.

We are now on Page 3, I have seen exactly 3 posts actually discussing the story. Every other post is the usual political BS. Give it a rest guys and stay on topic.

A little more to the story.

Apparently the transit worker confronted Jeremy Begay about disturbing other transit users.

So because the discussion of liberal cities and crime hurts your feelings, you want it to stop.

Show me post of yours denouncing threads that bash Trump. I don’t think you were ever against too many of those. IIRC, you were more than happy to jump in and partake in those.

So non-partisan that the Democrats have a death grip on the city for countless decades.

So with that said obviously both men were wrong but the CTA guy was moving toward the other guy, that could be considered threatening. Not enough to justify pushing the guy down, and obviously he can't respond by shots to the back.

You don't remember the 26 years straight (1977 to 2003) when Republicans were governors in IL?

Let's get back to the issues.

From the looks of them, their differences probably could have been better settled over a sack of white castles
