This:
The story from…where else? Chicago.
Six-year-old Quianna Tompkins is one of two innocent bystanders who were shot Friday night on the 300 block of West 105th Street.
Ironically, both were at a yearly memorial to remember a 24-year-old shot and killed while sitting on a porch five years ago. Tempest Abdullah’s 52-year old aunt was the other bystander shot. And it was her daughter who was playing with Quianna on a scooter when the shooting started on the street, catching her in the crossfire.
So, they are enraged that a senseless shooting happens in a city where only the criminals and the authorities have access to firearms.
Bill hits it right on the nose.

But of course, he will probably be ignored and banned. It comes to a point where one almost dons the tinfoil hat and wonders if this level of violence is by design from the Mayor’s Office.
Don’t laugh, the principle is working rather well in Venezuela.
Hey, I know that guy.
Moms demand bow chicka wow, wow hasn’t blocked me, and they’re the only gun control group that hasn’t. I think that account is mostly on autopilot.
In other news, twitterbots are now retweeting the #WeDemandAVote twitterbots
You’ll be unsurprised to learn the vigil was for a gangbanger.
perpetuating the cycle of stupidity…..
It was for Obama’s other could be son…..
I’ve been saying it for years. They don’t want to end the crime and violence. Crime and violence creates fear. Fear gives them control.
^ Nailed it.
Sad day when your president says proudly- if he had a son, he would be a thug.
Given the president is an admitted heavy drug user and closely associated with organized crime (aka Chicago Democrat Party)…
I honestly go back and forth on the tinfoil hat scenario. On one side anyone with even a sliver of a soul would honestly work to stop this but on the other side the Pols fight tooth and nail to let it go on. Can so many Pols be so devoid of human emotion or political hubris to allow the slaughter to go on? I’ve got my roll of tinfoil but my (seemingly idiotic) belief in humanity hasn’t produced a hat yet.
“wonders if this level of violence is by design from the Mayor’s Office”
In the city where candidates for office hold special meetings with the street gangs?
Where they hired gang members for “anti-violence” programs?
Where the focus of enforcement of their tyrannical gun ban is on the peaceful, law-abiding people, not the street gangs?
