Mass Shootings Kill 13! No Outrage From Here!!!

13 DEAD - ONE WEEKEND!

I thought this group here was all about pointing out these mass shootings!! I even waited a day just to make sure everyone had time to leave here and see some news.

Where’s the outrage, passion and compassion for this weekends’ massacre?

Is it just because it’s black-on-black violence in a liberal city w another Obama disciple running it? Chicago is my hometown and birth place and it makes me sick to see this every weekend.

No comment from the left is expected.

I do not see a comment from you. Not an interesting valuable comment or even a trivial comment.

Some people seem to suggest black people cannot complain about getting shot by police until blacks stop killing black people in Chicago. This sentiment does not make sense to me. It makes so little sense that the sources vaguely suggesting it decline to actually come out and say it.

Yes, we know there is a gun problem.

Why is it the only time Right Wingers express fake concern about gun related deaths, it is only in the context of mocking Chicago? Cities in Red States are far worse.

That's just what we need here: another fruitless gun debate with people who cuddle their guns at night.

It always feels nice to be lectured about not caring enough about something by someone who doesn't care about it at all. Nothing cynical about that!

I've brought it up a few times. I also got rid of my two handguns. I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to do?

The people on this board insist that I can't complain about the national debt unless I'm willing to see the military gutted or unless I complain about Trump's economic stimulus package. Does that make sense to you?

Why is there not a similar outrage and call for harsh measures of justice when the perpretrator is black as well? How is that not a reverse racist view?

What specific measures have you taken to stop it? Please share.

Well, there have been a number of black men sent to jail. It is true that nowadays there is all this liberal fallde rall with trials, evidence, judge and juries. Not so much of that old fashioned swift white justice , rope and tree.

You know I am pretty sure it is the prerogative of all Americans to complain about the national debt. With the current presidents policies of increasing that debt substantially your opportunities to complain are sure to continue.
