The Chicago War Zone

Some news sources say calling Chicago a “war zone worse than Afghanistan” has “racial overtones” because most of those being shot and killed are non-white. But when they say that, they’re missing the point, entirely. Why AREN’T more participants white? Maybe it’s because they aren’t the criminal element that many black people are. Most people who live in Chicago have never heard a gunshot, and most who have live in Chicago’s South Side, where gang wars rage. And most of the shooters are black. As are most of those shot. And it’s mostly over drugs. Selling them, or buying them. In a recent weekend alone, 106 people were shot, and 14 died. And I guaranteed you gangs and/or drugs were involved in every shooting. As were black people. So talking about “being worse than Afghanistan” is NOT racist, it is the simple truth. The numbers alone support it. And this is a city with some of the tightest anti-gun laws in the nation. So what’s the problem? Those laws cannot apply to those who are the worst shooters because they don’t get their guns legally. They don’t stand for background checks and, therefore, don’t give their names and addresses to the government. So anti-gun laws cannot reach them, except on a case-by-case basis as some are caught with their illegal guns. And “that ain’t gonna git it.” Meanwhile, the Dumbocrat mayor and all her accomplices have no idea how to handle it. (Chicago Tribune)
