How bad has violent crime gotten in Chicago?
From the chicagotribune.com: The shootings this weekend bring the year's total to at least 1,714, according to an analysis of a Chicago Tribune database on city shootings. That's an increase of 200 over last year and 361 over 2013, according to Tribune data. The city has also seen more murders, according to a Tribune database on homicides: At least 281 were slaying victims through Monday morning this year, which is almost 40 more than last year and 30 more than 2013.
Of course, what the Tribune won't tell you is that blacks account for the majority of those shooting victims. In fact, blacks account for nearly 90 percent of Chicago's homicide victims this year, as they've accounted for the majority of the Windy City's homicide victims for decades.
The deep-thinkers and self-professed intellectuals such as Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and his police superintendent Garry "Charlie" McCarthy, will tell you that the homicides are the result of too many guns on Chicago's streets. What they won't tell you is that even though Chicago has some of the strictest handgun laws in America, those laws haven't deterred violent crime. Why? Because strict handgun laws only prevent law-abiding citizens from carrying guns. They don't stop criminals.
But it's always easier to blame guns than it is to hold people accountable for their behavior. If Emanuel and his police superintendent dared to call out the violent anti-social behavior of blacks that's the real cause of Chicago's violent crime, they'd be gone in a heartbeat. Emanuel would never win another election and McCarthy would be forced to resign amid the faux outrage of the PC enforcers.
And so, while the assorted Marxists, leftists and anarchists gathered in Ferguson, Mo. over the past weekend to mark the one-year anniversary of Michael Brown's death by causing even more trouble in that embattled town, two more people were shot to death and 43 others were wounded on Chicago's violent streets. The two homicide victims were blacks, as were the majority of those 43 who were wounded.
Certainly, Chicago isn't the only city where blacks are killing blacks at an alarming rate. That's happening in other cities such as Detroit, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Cleveland, just to name a few. However, Chicago has become the model for the abject failure of liberal policies and the leftist worldview. The leftist worldview makes perpetrators victims and victims perpetrators. And the leftist worldview invents problems and then blames them on its opposition.
For example? Leftists have destroyed the black family in America via the entitlement-welfare-dependency culture that has made millions of blacks beholden to the government for their survival. Leftists have delivered ruinous public schools to America's inner cities that do little to educate blacks and other minorities.
And leftists then blame white racism for the plight of blacks in America. Who are the real racists? There are white leftists whose success depends on the ignorance and failure of blacks and other minorities. Is it really ironic that the BlackLivesMatter movement is heavily funded by a despicable white leftist such as George Soros? Soros is one of the worst human beings on the planet.
And so, when blacks shoot and kill other blacks--which accounts for the majority of black homicides in the US--it's not news. However, when a white person or a white cop shoots a black person, then it's promoted by the national news media as a catastrophic event.
Evidently, black lives only seem to matter when blacks are killed by whites. At least, that's the impression one gets listening to the inflammatory rhetoric spewed by corrupt politicians, empty-headed celebrities and blowhard clergy.
All lives matter. Every human being, regardless of color, is created in the image of God. And Jesus Christ, the author of life, said this: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (John 10:10)
Every life matters to God. However, to leftists, life is cheap and meaningless and is exploited for their own personal gain. Their intentions and actions will damn their souls for eternity.
