Why do the cops even try anymore? The mob is going to do what they do and the cops are risking their lives trying to stop them. It is obvious that the elected in Chicago do not care to stop the violence so why should the cops even try?



The cops should have all come down with the "Blue Flu" and called in that night. The city could have sent counselors in to defuse the mob.

Of course if the cops call in with the Blue Flu and the riot rages on the residents of that neighborhood are granted the Right to protect themselves and property by any means necessary with no repercussions. The cleanup crew will come in to clean up the bodies in the morning.

Statues for everyone that shot someone!!! Lets have a national 'Shoot a Pedestrian Day' and have parades, burnings and rioting at the same time. Doesn't that sound fun and like something Uncle Joey would do? But thank goodness Joey doesn't Tweet!!

This happened two years ago when I was in Chicago for the 4th. The animals take over the city. There was a riot on the Navy Pier.

Not a good look for blacks.

well, 2.3% of them (1 store) or so.

The family-owned shop, which has been in business for more than 50 years, was accused in the suit of ignoring many of the obvious signs of straw purchasing, including buyers making multiple purchases of the exact same model of gun, buying sprees over a short time period, large-volume purchases, cash payments and staggered visits to elude multiple-sale reporting requirements.

The store’s longtime owner, Earl Westforth, also ignored warnings from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives about suspicious purchases at his store, despite remedial training on how to spot the signs of trafficking, according to the suit.
Responsible gun owners/purchasers and sellers would avoid the practices this store seems to have flouted.

"Unbelievable"? In Chicago? I am thinking the norm, just like many cities in the US these days now that police can't police!

That makes no sense at all. They should not have guns period. Doesn’t matter where they got them, according to the laws they shouldn’t have them. Do you blame the liquor store when someone buys something, drinks and drives drunk (against the law)?

Is it possible the lack of intact family units leads to these scenes?
SHUT UP WITH THE FACTS. You are going to make some left wingers head explode by talking like that. Shush you its all about Gun Control and Racism. I know CNN and the Dems tell me so.....

Yes, any use of fireworks is a form of US patriotism whether it be some guy in Argentina launching them or a group of criminals launching them at cops it is all a form of US patriotism.

Genius level logic.

Also a leftist publication just pushed using fireworks is racist as it causes more health problems for blacks from breathing it in.

Racists blaming guns and the NRA.

They don't want to face the underlying social ills and do things about it, so they try to tell everyone that the guns from areas with 5-10x lower levels of gun violence are to blame for Chicagos gun violence.
