Chi-Town 500+

Chicago reached a grim milestone.

Say what?

Yeah, Chicago, Illinois has lost over 500 members of its beautiful city this year. The city has reached its infamous milestone. Over 500 murders or homicides this year alone.

We're experiencing an epidemic of tragedy because of the rapid gun violence in the third largest city in the nation.

Mayor Rahm Emmanuel can't control the ongoing feuds within infamous street gangs.  

The president has to deal with this domestic terrorism in our communities. 

Gang violence is a danger to young Black and Latino males. Once you become a member of a street gang, you live by their rule or die by their rule. You gotta survive to eat! You got to make it in before you get in!
The Chicago Tribune reports that metro police confirmed that homicides were up 17 percent over last year in Chicago and shootings had increased by 11 percent, according to police statistics. Earlier this fall, Chicago already exceeded the number of homicides that occurred last year, but this is the first time the city has had 500 or more murders since the 512 in 2008.

Largely contributing to the spike was the unusual number of homicides that occurred during the early part of the year, when the city experienced unseasonable warmth. In the first three months of the year, homicides ran about 60 percent ahead of the 2011 rate.

Police stated that gang violence reduction strategies the department adopted this year have slowed the increase in violence.
Chicago mayor Rahm Emmanuel and Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy are trying to curb gang violence.
There's been too much violence by firearms. The Democrats are proposing legislation that may curb high power firearms. The National Rifle Association dismisses this as a threat upon the freedoms of law abiding firearm owners. 

In the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting, many are calling for reasonable gun control. Although the House of Representatives will never allow passage of this bill, President Barack Obama and the Democratic control senate will continue to push the message that Republicans are obstructionists to progress. In the wake of a tragedy, Republicans would rather continue to allow dangerous firearms in the hands of individuals who may capable of carrying out mass shootings.

When things happen in Chicago, Illinois, Republicans and their conservative allies are rooting for Blacks and Hispanics to kill each other off! The Republicans attack President Barack Obama for ignoring a crisis in one of America's cities. They'll find reason to say that this reminds them of the president saying that these gang members are like "[Trayvon Martin] being was one of his sons!'

Gun rights for White people and gun control for Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims. They want control over us, but never control over them. You see how Republicans act when it comes to serious issues like taxes, the sequester and debt ceiling. They portray themselves as the condescending idiots most Americans see them as! And it's not pretty. Republicans aren't focused on issues such as gun control. They worship the ground walked on by assholes like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Grover Norquist, Matt Drudge. They want to get good fitting on Fox News or standings with the National Rifle Association. 
Territory.
Conservatives can't understand that the people of Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Baltimore, Philadelphia, St. Louis, New York, Los Angeles and Atlanta are just as American as they are! They rather react to gun violence when it happens in the suburbs not the cities.

That's probably why it's a long way til we get to the promise land. 

A reminder to those reading, violent street gangs are domestic terrorist. They're no different from the White extremist who contributes to a mass shooting or racially-theme rant on the changing demogrpahics of our nation.
