For the first time ever in my recollection, Rahm Emanuel, the lefty piece of trash Mayor has finally stated "guns don't kill people, people kill people". The quotes are mine, he actually said it with different words.
The quote from the NY Times" "If we all come together and reclaim our streets, reclaim our parks, there’s no room for the gangbangers,” Mr. Emanuel said, stopping by one of the gatherings on Friday night on the Southwest Side, where people played basketball and painted murals. “I would also say to the gangbangers what Eddie Johnson said,” Mr. Emanuel said, referring to his recently appointed superintendent. “There’s a small percentage creating an overabundance of the gun violence. The Police Department knows who you are. They know where you live. And they know what you’re doing.”
Keep in mind that a Black Chicago resident is 19 times more likely to be shot and killed than a white Chicago resident. And almost all murders in Chicago are committed against victims of the same race as the killer. So obviously, unless the inanimate guns are capable of being racist, the problem is with the people not the guns.
