Chicago Mayor Lightfoot blames everyone but herself for the mass shootings of Blacks in her city

You can count on death, taxes, and thousands of Blacks being shot in Chicago every year.

Oddly the Democrats who have been running Chicago for nearly 90 years say it's not their fault.

White or Black the Democrats who run the city all propose the same solution; gun control.

The fact that some of the most restrictive gun control laws in America haven't made a dent in the slaughter of Blacks doesn't seem to bother the rich Democrats who run the city.

Now Lightfoot is blaming other states for her problem.  According to her Chicago is

“being inundated with guns from states that have virtually no gun control, no background checks, no ban on assault weapons.”

The first thing to note is that assault weapons, which are fully automatic, are illegal in every state so clearly she doesn't know what she's talking about.

But the main problem is that she's acting like people from Texas are coming into Chicago and offering innocent law abiding people guns.

The reality is that if guns were the problem the places which don't have gun control would be inundated with shootings but in fact they're peaceful.

In Chicago it's nearly impossible to get a gun yet there's lots of violence.

Clearly it's not guns but people that are the problem.

A person is shot every 2 hours and 13 minutes in Lightfoot's Chicago and murdered every 11 hours and 24 minutes.

There are thousands of shootings each year in Chicago because her administration lets most shooters get away with it.

Historically only about 33% of murders result in a suspect being charged. Last year there was a huge bump with the Chicago Police Department(CPD) declaring it had closed 53% of the murder cases.  The only problem was that of the 261 murders the CPD declared to be closed 152 were closed without anyone being charged.

Lightfoot was taking credit for closing murders that her police department just gave up on.  Now that's the Democrat way.  It's also probably racist since while Blacks make up 30% of the Chicago population 77.7% of the victims of shootings.

We all know that if nearly 3000 white people were being shot in Chicago each year more would be done.

Why doesn't Democrat Lightfoot care more?  Well one reason she doesn't is that Democrat politicians use the gangs to get out the vote  and Democrats are all about power.

The other reason may be that she buys into the general view held by Democrat politicians that Blacks are just more violent and less intelligent. Democrats say that despite the fact that Japanese Americans went from being in prison camps to making significantly more than white Americans without any special government help Blacks are incapable of doing so.  

Democrats, like their slave owning predecessors, have a very paternalistic view of Blacks. They really can't cut it on their own and they need rich white Democrats to help them live their lives.

Whatever the reason the reality is that Lightfoot seems disinclined to do anything that would actually make Black neighborhoods safe.
