The Chicago Casualty Figures for the 4th of July Weekend Are In

A lot has been made of the horrible tragedy in Charleston where a white supremacist killed nine blacks in a church.  It was horrible.

But, every week, blacks kill other blacks in Chicago.  Most of it is gang-related and often innocents are killed or wounded.

I just read that this past weekend, 10 people were killed in Chicago and another 54 wounded.  We didn't even have those kinds of casualties in the Afghanistan and Iraq war zones most of the time.  And these are from a U.S. city, supposedly not a war zone.  Most of these people are also black.

Now, I know that gangs like to listen to Rap Music and we all know about the content of that kind of music.  And, I am offended when I have to listen to these songs, either on a jukebox or from a passing group of people or cars.   Perhaps there should be a movement like that against the Confederate flag to eliminate that as well.

Something to Think About.
