    Why would you take that story personal though? Maybe it belongs in the gun thread instead?

    That be fine. It’s sad and tragic and worth talking about. 

    I don’t take it personally. But the Trump-y shitting on Chicago because of gun violence is tired. (Chicago isn’t even in the top 25 US cities for gun violence) And starting a new thread to basically do that is weird.

    I hope we don't end up with a separate thread for every goddamn shooting, otherwise the whole AMT page will read "Shooting here", "Shooting there", "Shooting everywhere", "Shooting, etc."...

    not low enough to keep trump from sending in the national guard.

    subway crime in new york is the lowest it has been since they started keeping records. over 100 years ago.... but he wants to send the national guard to new york too.

    Actually now he's not sending anyone to Chicago and instead is sending them to New Orleans.

    probably because he got benchslapped by that judge saying he illegally sent the national guard to LA.

    It's so bizarre to read old white guys here blather on about how safe cities like DC, Chicago, Memphis ad nauseam are. And how you vilify Trump for actually trying to do something about it.

    Look the bottom line is we can find people that want it, but the overwhelming majority don’t want it and it’s not popular nationwide either way. 

    All this reads to me is Trump has no faith in local policing and he wants to look tough on Crime that’s been falling for years and wants an easy W.

    I mean we do have really great parks if they want to help with the landscaping.
