Tragedy in the Windy City & Baltimore will NEVER END!

My Dad lived in Chicago for a while after high school.    These lunatics killing one another day after day weren't part of the culture he grew up in.  The culture of this insanity won't stop in my lifetime.  It will be going on forever if the incentives aren't changed.  Ayn Rand is NOT a town in Germany.

Think about all the brave warriors in Indian Country and America who gave their lives so idiots like this can have the freedom to own firearms.  Why is it that this culture is so anxious for America to care yet they spend the moments between excuses to riot and look the other way at the decay in their communities, the plague of drugs, gangs, unwed mothers, fatherless children, violence and joblessness?    Can anyone show me a work ethic in this culture?   If you want to find peace and quiet on weekday mornings hang out by any city housing project.  You can hear a pin drop.  That's because NOBODY is leaving or entering buildings.  Everyone is still fast asleep because most aren't going to work.    Here are some facts in Chicago since about a short 72 hours ago.    Thanks libs!
