Memorial Day 2016 in Chicago

Tomb of the Unknown 3 SoldiersWhile some of America was taking time, albeit too briefly, to reflect on the sacrifices made by our courageous US military personnel on Memorial Day, the city of Chicago was continuing its all-important job of killing more black people.

Because black lives don’t matter.  They don’t matter to the Demorats, they don’t matter to Leftists, they don’t matter to the local Chicago politicians, and I can make an excellent argument that black lives don’t matter to blacks themselves.

Chicago’s Bloody Memorial Day: 66 Shot, 6 Killed

by Warner Todd Huston

An incredible 66 people were shot, although just six were killed, over Chicago’s Memorial Day weekend. The carnage pushed the number of gunshot victims well above 1,500 this year in this Democratic-run city.

One of the youngest victims was a 15-year-old girl who was killed on the city’s famed Lake Shore Drive while a passenger in a car driven by a known gang member.

The blood continued to flow all weekend, with victims in their teens and early 20s dominating the mounting tally.

Memorial Day 2016 outpaced the toll of violence for both 2015 and 2014, but not the death tolls. In 2015, 45 were wounded, and 12 deaths were recorded. In 2014, 21 were wounded and eight killed. While far more were shot this year than any other Memorial Day weekend, Chicago can take some solace that fewer ended up dead.

So far this year there have been 1,514 people shot in Chicago. Of that number, 228 have been killed by the gunfire. An additional 26 murders by other means pushed the death toll to 254. Sixty-two of those homicides happened in May.

So just who kills whom in Chicago?  Let’s examine the statistics — not just from “conservative media,” but from governmental and the American Media Maggots as well.

New study shows likelihood of being shot in Chicago

by Frank Main

The study, called “Tragic, but not random: The social contagion of nonfatal gunshot injuries,” was published in the January 2015 issue of Social Science & Medicine. It shows the risk of becoming a gunshot victim in Chicago is “more concentrated than previously thought,” according to Andrew Papachristos, one of the authors.

And as was previously known, race was a key risk factor in getting shot, the study noted. For every 100,000 people, an average of one white person, 28 Hispanics and 113 blacks became victims of nonfatal shootings every year in Chicago over the six-year study period.

Are you perhaps sensing a trend here?

AllenWest.com then weighs in on some statistics — Allen West being a retired Lt Colonel in the US Army and a former Florida Representative.  Who is himself black.

On average, 4,472 black men were killed by other black men annually between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2012, according to the FBI’s Supplementary Homicide Reports. Using FBI and CDC statistics, Professor Johnson calculates that 112 black men, on average, suffered both justified and unjustified police-involved deaths annually during this period.

This equals 2.5 percent of these 4,472 yearly deaths. For every black man — criminal or innocent — killed by a cop, 40 black men were murdered by other black men. The, at most, 2.5 percent of the problem generates relentless rage. And, yet, it is rude-to-racist to mention 97.5 percent of the problem.

The notion that America’s cops simply are gunning down innocent black people is one of today’s biggest and deadliest lies”.

Chicago: 75% of Murdered are Black, 71% of Murderers are Black

The numbers are horrifying

by Devin Foley

Simply put, Chicago has a massive Black-on-Black murder problem. All of the data below comes from the Chicago Police Department. You can access it here.

What stands out the most looking at both charts and knowing that 90% of the victims are male is that a lot of young, Black men are being killed in Chicago. No race comes even close to overall deaths by homicide. Keep in mind that based on 2010 Census numbers, only 33% of Chicago’s population was classified as Black. 

The data on offenders also tells a troubling story: Young, Black males are overwhelmingly committing most of the murders. Based on the data on the victims, that means young, Black males are primarily killing other young, Black males. What a terrible situation. 

“Black Lives Matter” have no problem with excoriating anyone and everyone not in sync with their racist mantra.  Anyone suggesting — and that includes any and all Leftists — that “all lives matter” is hoisted on their own Leftist petard.

But the only logical bottom line is this: there are any number of reasons that blacks are murdering blacks at remarkable rates.  Those aside, that law enforcement is a “major player” in the demise of young black males is an out-and-out lie.  Repeat: a lie.  Young black urban males predominantly kill young black urban males.  That is a fact.

The logical extension is this: blacks continuously demand what they term “respect.”  Let me state the obvious for those who cannot ken the obvious: when blacks truly respect each other, then and only then will respect be 1) given and 2) earned.

Blacks: earn it.

Law enforcement isn’t the problem in your “black community.”

Try some introspection.

Senator Tom Cotton on Harry Reid: “his cancerous leadership”

Senator Tom Cotton (R, Arkansas) lighted Harry Reid’s aged and wattled ass on FIRE. And rightly so.

Please watch.

“This is an outrageous slander.”

“And to say that he cares for the troops, how about this troop and his son and his father and his grandfather, four generations of service, to include almost six years of rotting in a prisoner of war camp, say that he’s delaying this because he cares for the troops, a man who never served himself. A man who in April of 2007 came to this very floor before the surge reached its peak and said the war was lost when 100 Americans were being killed in Iraq every month when I was carrying their dead bodies off an airplane at Dover Air Force base. It is an outrage,” Cotton argued

Concluding his scathing remarks regarding Reid, Cotton argued, “We’re delaying it for one reason and one reason only, to protect his own sad, sorry, legacy. He now complains in the mornings that the Senate is not in session enough, that our calendar is too short. Well, whatever you think about that, the happy by-product of fewer days in session in the Senate is that this institution will be cursed less with his cancerous leadership.”

“A man who never served himself?”

Precisely, Senator Tom Cotton.

“Indian” Elizabeth Warren is a hypocritical “small, insecure money grubber” HERSELF

Elizabeth Warren, being a good Leftist sycophant for Hillary Clinton, opened up a proverbial Pandora’s Box (sorry, couldn’t resist) when she said, about Donald Trump:

“Donald Trump was drooling over the idea of a housing meltdown – because it meant he could buy up more property on the cheap,” Warren said Tuesday in Washington at a Center for Popular Democracy gala. “What kind of a man does that? What kind of a man roots for people to get thrown out of their house? What kind of man roots for people to get thrown out of their jobs?”

“I’ll tell you exactly what kind of a man does that: It is a man who cares about no one but himself,” she went on. “A small, insecure money-grubber who doesn’t care who gets hurt, so long as he makes a profit off it.”

But there’s a problem.

The problem is, Elizabeth Warren is also a money grubber because the made a quarter of a MILLION dollars in PROFIT from foreclosed homes.  She made a ridiculous profit from the pain of others.

From the UKDailyMail.com:

Elizabeth Warren accused of making a fortune from flipping foreclosed homes

Harvard professor and U.S. Senate hopeful Elizabeth Warren is back in the headlines after it was revealed that she took part in around 12 lucrative real estate deals using manoeuvres such as ‘flipping’ properties to make profits.

Mind you, this article I found is from June of 2012 — long before Warren accused Trump of doing the same thing she did.  Perhaps Warren has forgotten there is something called the “internet” which tends to have something of a longer memory than she does?

Warren has in the past rallied against predatory banks and heartless foreclosures but that didn’t stop her using the controversial tactics to make fortunes.

On her website she writes: ‘We are in the midst of one of the greatest economic crises in our country’s history — a crisis that began one lousy mortgage at a time’.

But apparently Trump is a money-grubber and she is not.  Because she was hopeful that persons such as myself would somehow not conduct any kind of a search-engine consultation?

But the college professor was herself an active player in the real estate market in the 1990s, buying and selling properties at steep mark-ups across her home city of Oklahoma, land records show.

Money grubber.

She loaned money to relatives at high interest rates and paid bargain prices for foreclosed properties.

Money grubber.

One such property she bought for $30,000, then sold for $145,000 five months later, a 383 per cent mark-up.

A 383% mark-up.  Damned money grubber.

Warren typically gained between 10 and 73 per cent on her sales, netting hefty profits.

Unrepentant, damned money grubber.

You lying Leftist hypocrite.
