Clearly they don't have a gun violence problem in Chicago.

and clearly BL don't M,,,


but it does not fit the narrative to change the culture, so it will continue

That's OK. The next gun ban will fix everything. The Cook County violence tax hasn't covered any of the expenses for the wounded yet, but not to worry. All the go-fund-me pages are doing a fine job of it. So why waste a good political Christmas party on the needy?
Wait....correction. The surplus funding for the Chicago Park District covers Christmas. My mistake.

Give it a minute, and one of our local Liberals will come on and explain those people aren't really dead -- they're only playing 'possum.

Amazing how death brings out the political instinct in people.

Two Democrats (they may have been from this forum) were in a graveyard registering voters. One of them came across a badly-weathered tomb stone.

"Did you git that man's name?"

"I cain't read it."

"You git his name. He has as much right to vote as anyone else in this graveyard!"
