More children were shot in Chicago than died of Covid in 2021.

Where are all the protests?

It's black on black crime...or cartel drug gangs vs the world, and that is just okay to BLM and all the media hypocrites.

@chrisCA How amazing you are to have peered into the hearts and discerned the feelings of each and every one of us.

It looks like [u]defunding[/u] is being [u]debunked[/u].

Defund the police is a proven catastrophe and the ultimate victims are the very people it was supposed to help. This pattern repeats over and over and over again when it comes to socialist policies.

@irishmolly72 same in my city, the mayor and her minion city council did it here. They invited BLM to the city hall at night and let them stage a protest, gave no advance notice to the citizens and then took a vote quickly Commie-style (no citizen input allowed) to defund our police department by nearly $1 million, which resulted in 8 police jobs being cut and more police retiring early or transferring to the next city. It costs about $200,000 to train new officers at a police academy. The mayor’s solution was to hire “social workers” to pick up slack. There is a homeless problem in this city, including a sizable meth camp living in a wooded area. Crimes have increased, there was a triple shooting this past month involving homeless (1 died as a result), arrests increasing due to public drug use & violence, warrants being served at the shelters. Those who have been banned from the shelters are still living here in woods, spreading human waste and costing the city a great deal of money to clean up camps. ($50,000 at one site within the city and hauling away 17 tons of waste). Social workers identified 18 people living in that site and offered to help them get on a housing list and help them get their paperwork (birth certificates, Social Security cards, ID cards) so that they can get on the list and about 40% are refusing to do even that. A few days ago the person hired in charge of housing the homeless quit the job and two others working in that dept also resigned. This city has a mess on it’s hands.

@cherokeepatti Thanks for your thoughtful post. We can never give up on caring about people of all creeds and colors. But it's because we DO care that we need to point out the literally fatal hypocrisy of the BLM/ANTIFA anti-police stance.

I think that black people are finally coming around to the realization that ANTIFA demagogues are not really on their side at all. Now, let's all try to think of ways to move forward.

Are you under the impression that nobody's ever protested the socioeconomic conditions that drive people to such desperation that they turn to crime? What even is this?
chrisCA · M
@BlueVeins Unless it is White, Upper Middle class neighbourhoods getting shot up, no one really cares.
[image deleted]damn that a lots of children deaths why did i not here of it. oh wait never-mind . it was a gotta moment. grin[image deleted]

@SW-User also when kids get sick they can get their parents and family members sick. Whether they die or not they could end up with long term health issues. Death isn't the only terrible outcome of Covid.
wildbill83 · 36-40, M
@markansas abc? lol, might as well cite some bathroom graffiti...
losthorizons · 51-55, M
@markansas numbers are over inflated. Total bullshit
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
Our politicians don't care about the problems of poor people. As long as the drug dealers and thugs confine their violence to the areas in which they live.
irishmolly72 · 56-60, F
Recent data:

At least 276 children aged [b]16 and younger[/b] have been shot in Chicago since the start of last year, according to data analyzed by CBS Chicago.

That includes 43 children younger than 13, according to the data, obtained by CBS Chicago through a Freedom of Information Act request. The data include all shootings between Jan. 1, 2021, and Jan. 10, 2022.

Was defunding the police a good idea? Maybe some day we can hear from Lori Lightfoot.

In St Louis this year 52 children were shot while 5 children died of covid in 2022.
Just so far this year.
FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F
No one to blame so its ignored.
redredred · M
There’s the equivalent of a Sandy Hook massacre about every three weeks in Chiraq but, since it’s Black kids shooting other Black kids no one cares. Shoot twenty white kids and it’s on the news for a month.
@redredred A bit different than a drive by shooting and some one going into a school and shooting kids on purpose . lots of difference
and this added to the story of sandy hook ALEX JONES SAID IT WAS A HOAX

redredred · M
@markansas it was no hoax, I lived about ten miles or so from Newtown and twenty or so dead kids is twenty or so dead kids. Ask their parents.
protesting for what exactly ? more dead kids ? less kids getting shot ? i think there is plenty protests against gun violence... but school shootings are part of american culture... like obesity and shitty healthcare
irishmolly72 · 56-60, F
BLM is itself a zombie movement. It will fail over and over and over again. But of course its failures can always be blamed on "racist whites". This blame can be used to rationalize the next round of demagoguery.

There is no way to avoid the hard work of building a healthy, thriving community. (And there are literally millions of well intentioned whites willing to help in this effort.) It requires both men and women to put aside their differences and form strong families. It requires patience and vision in raising educated, disciplined children who will some day want to work within the system to share in the wealth of this country. BLM and similar left wing movements have accomplished exactly the opposite. They have amplified the failures. The failures will continue as will the scapegoating.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan saw this phenomenon decades ago in similar "Black Power" type movements during the Great Society debacle.

Many on the left hate me, but I believe in the potential of black people. I wish the best for us all. But deep cultural changes need to happen within the black community for this to occur, and the blaming needs to stop.
Muldoon · 56-60, M
@irishmolly72 I won't be surprised when BLM is hit with rackateering charges.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
Is there supposed to be any real correlation between a virus and people -- probably many of them children themselves -- shooting children?

As to protests, the only protests I've seen re COVID are people trying to top the treatments for the disease. BUT I have seen quite a few anti-gun protests -- unfortunately ignored by politicians and shot down by insane courts.

It doesn't come with Kool-Aid or brainwashing, is why.

'Tis sad when it's [b][c=800000][b]supposed[/b][/c][/b] to be a gun free zone at that. They get a free pass to kill in Chicago and our government sits back and allows it to happen while they try to "criminalize/ demonize and take from registered and law-abiding gun owners like myself. Black on black crime is completely ignored. Their audacity makes me sick, and especially because of the innocent children and victims killed by gangs and thugs that'll get out on a plea bargain easily.

And before anyone calls me a racist, know that Candace Owens of BLEXIT( blacks exiting the left wing ideologies/agendas ) is my idol.💫
@MoonlightLullabyWill the Real Blexit Please Stand Up? [image deleted][image deleted]IT GOT TAKEN OVER BY TRUMP AND FRIENDS
Blexit foundation, a social media campaign launched in 2018 by Candace Owens to encourage Black people to leave the Democratic Party. WHOM IS A REPUBLICAN
[image deleted]so the NAME BLEXIT WAS STOLEN
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@markansas If West denied forming the group, then it doesn't make it stolen, right? So what if she supports Trump? Can she not be a republican and [b]former democrat[/b] using her voice to wake up others?

You're allowed your opinion, as am I. I refuse to ever get into a battle with politics amongst friends. I respect the opinions of others, but I had many so called friends block me after writing the most cruel and disheartening PM's right before they did. I promised myself to never go into such posts like this one again, and should have stuck with it.

We are very much into “ selective outrage “.
There’s zero consistency.

The place is owned lock, stock and barrel by Democrats so we're not going to hear much about the mayhem.

@markansas I have some experience with New Jersey - my car broke down once right in front a business featured on that show. Never saw that sort of thing there - bribes at the arena, limo drivers writing in their own tips, etc.
@graphite i loved that show tho.. it was quite good. however the mob ran or runs Chicago and still does [image deleted]and las vegas . its all about the money . so kinda sad a few get rich living off the poor.

Are people protesting COVID? Must have missed it.

"0.4 per cent (over 12,300) occured in children and adolescents under 20 years old have died from covid as of January 2022"


"Gun violence has killed 1,165 American teens and children so far this year: " this was from October of 2021....in all of america..not just Chicago.

But also...your fake stat is false.
