| Bloody weekend in Chicago, San Bernardino and Birmingham. |
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Enough is enough. Congress and Donald J. Trump, time's up. No one should have to live like this. There were numerous mass shootings in the United States this Labor Day weekend. Among them were in cities where minority populations are the highest. The National Rifle Association, Republicans and conservative agitators continue to promote this notion that a "good guy with a gun" will stop a threat. Unfortunately, a good guy with a gun could also be killed by the police.
Regardless of what is said, Trump and his allies will not move the needle on gun reform. Speak of that, Tuesday, Brett Kavanaugh will be going through his vetting for the Supreme Court. Obviously, Trump picked this guy for a reason. This guy will uphold controversial laws that keep firearms in the hands of crazy ass people.
People who will use their Second Amendment rights to murder fellow Americans.
Birmingham, Alabama
At least seven people were shot when a terrorist opened fire at a teen party in the city. This was at the Birmingham WorkPlay. The police said gunfire errupted outside the event venue when the party was preparing to end.
The injured include a 20 year old man and about seven teens. The party was being hosted by a high school sorority.
Two teens got into a heated dispute and then shots rang out.
Police say that one of the injured is in custody.
Kay Ivey, Richard Shelby, Doug Jones and Trump won't do nothing other than offer their "thoughts and prayers" to this senseless act of violence. Of course, conservatives will find someone other than the shooter to blame.
Birmingham is populated with 269,000 residents. It has a majority Black population. Obviously, hint, hint. Black president, Black leaders on television and the need for gun control (only in the case of Black men obtaining them).
San Bernardino, California
Outside an apartment complex, eight people were shot after a craps game goes awry. A 17 year old teen is in grave condition, while two other victims are likely going to die. The other victims were injured with life altering injuries.
Police said that 10 people were shot, most of the victims were adults.
Neighbors heard multiple shots ring out. One witness said that there were at least 15 to 20 gunshots fired in rapid succession.
The terrorist who shot upon the people is still on the loose and the law is hoping that people will finger this individual out.
The city of San Bernardino has a population of 224,000 residents. This area was the scene of the mass shooting in 2014. A city employee and his wife opened fire on fellow co-workers after being inspired by the Islamic State and constant taunts from one of the victims.
The terrorist and his wife became international news coverage when the feds busted down their door and raided their home. A reporter went through their stuff and showed personal pictures of family members and their social security numbers.
During that time, Barack Obama called for gun reform. It was met with criticism, NRA attacks and claims of government takeover.
Four years later, nothing is being done.
Chicago
There is a protest against Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel and Illinois governor Bruce Rauner.
Also five lives were killed in the latest round of violence despite Chicago Police being more active in the streets. The city had a rough Labor Day weekend.
Over 30 people were shot in the weekend alone.
The majority of the mass shootings were happening on the city's south and west quadrants.
The areas are food deserts, deteriorating neighborhoods and emergency crews have trouble trying to find victims. Most victims are often shot in areas where resources are low.
The last newsworthy mass shooting in the Chicago area was the August 3-5 weekend.
The city is demanding Congress find solutions to stopping gun violence.
Of course, Republicans will place the blame on Barack Obama, Rahm Emanuel and Democrats.
It's unfortunate.
