Was not a response to the article. Was a response to the tsunami of bullshit in the comments.

Well, in Illinois, the best course of action would be to pass a state budget. It would to reinstate the funding for all the non-profits, schools, community groups, charitable organizations, and other entities focused on combatting the problem that have been slashed over the past couple of years.

1) Yes, when people are arguing that Chicago is defending into a circle of hell. It’s important to point out the historical numbers.

When people are arguing that the violence in Chicago is “unprecedented” and folks like Trump are comparing African Americans to Syrian refugees fleeing violence, it’s very important to point out that violence is actually at historic lows.

Good lord. Who said it was “good”?

It wil still be far below historical averages.

1) Pointing out that black people are mostly killed by black people is stupid racist nonsense meant to argue that there is something unusually deviant about that group. It has nothing to do with “blackness,” it has to do with where people live. White on white violence is a problem.

Yeah, that’s not true.

Yes, we need to make America Great Again, like when Al Capone was murdering shit tons of people...

Yes, it’s tough, because it is a problem. But the right has seized on Chicago, specifically, because that’s Obama’s home town, and they use it to try and undermine BLM and criticisms of law enforcement, in general.

And this year’s number will still be WAY lower than peak.

Do you even consider the bullshit spilling out of your mouth?

I mean, I addressed this to vapid, racist wingers like you. You seem to have read it, and yet you say the same stupid things you always say.

I think Deadspin reported it because it’s a sports site and this is the relative of one of the most famous athletes in the world.

Care to share it?

Nah. Murders in Chicago are near historic lows. More people were murdered in Chicago in 1928 than were murdered in 2015:

All Asshole Racist Trolls:

I don’t know man, not going to defend Pence, but there has never been anyone as close to the Presidency like Trump. There is literally no headline that could appear about Trump that I wouldn’t find plausible:

Nope. It’s a good point. I mean, it’s sort of tedious to point out the endless examples of thoughtless hypocrisy on the right, but someone should do it. It’s the inevitable result of defining your politics by blind, reactionary outrage rather than consistent principle.

Yeah, it’s really impossible to defend the lack of transparency.
