Jim Hoft:
Hundreds attended the ‘Justice for Trayvon Martin’ rally yesterday in Chicago.
Meanwhile, a six year-old girl was shot Friday while at a memorial for a loved one gunned down five years ago.
NBC Chicago reported:View more videos at: http://nbcchicago.com.
And at least four people were killed and nine wounded in Chicago shootings on Saturday night.
Jammie Wearing Fool and Chicago Tribune reported:Shootings left at least four men dead and 9 other people wounded across the Saturday night and Sunday morning.
The violence was largely confined to the South and West Sides and three of the incidents had more than one victim, according to authorities.
The real crime in America is the silence of the media over this genocide of blacks by blacks whether it is with a gun or with an abortion.
None of which had anything to do with the Chicago rally.
People are apparently so disappointed that their predictions of extensive post-trial black rioting haven’t panned that they’ve got to insinuate connections where none exist.
Chicago’s new crime-fighting strategy: “Chicago police are going to hand deliver letters to people suspected of committing or being victims of gun crimes in an effort to stem violence in the city, according to a new report. ”
Main problem with this empty-headed PR move?
Can you average Chicagoan even read?
When Illinois closed the loophole that allowed their dumbest students to be excluded from even taking standardized tests the results plummeted.
About 1/2 of all the state’s public school students flunked the tests!
And this excludes the 40% of all students who drop out before the tests.
So, the vast majority of Chicago’s public probably cannot even read this letter from the police.
Greg
after the rally, that’s when the beating happened also at the beginning, last riot,
what make you so sure that it’s not related? it happened during or after,
and more will come to our attention,
@Greg:
Please, tell me that you’re really not that damn stupid that you don’t see the irony in four dead in Chicago that will be ignored by the Black Grievance Industry and the Trayvon Martin rally?
It would be much better for you to just admit you’re nothing more than a OFA troll, instead of giving the impression that you truly are as clueless as your post indicated.
@ilovebeeswarzone, #4:
There were no riots.
@retire05, #5:
Implying a connection between a peaceful Trayvon Martin rally and incidents that were unrelated to it isn’t an exercise in irony. It’s an exercise in lying.
It has been said, of course, that a fish is unaware of the water that it swims in. When lies are the medium a mind swims in, maybe they, too, are invisible.
@Greg:
So are you really that dumb that the point eludes you or are you just trolling for OFA again?
The point you seem to miss is that while there was a protest over the death of ONE black young man, FOUR others were murdered in Obama’s home town, the same town as the protest. Why wasn’t the protesters complaining about the hundreds of murders there in their own home town? Why concentrate on just ONE young man, and not the rest of them? Could it be that the Scheme Team has plans to increase the Fulton/Martin bank balance?
GREG
NO RIOTS YOU SAY AT THE BEGINNING LAST YEAR, well it happened after
what ever you call it a demonstration?
how ever they do it, it is inciting for the young punks ready to hurt whoever they can ,
as the savagely did on that W W II VETERAN, of over 80 years old, and the other I mentioned before
THAT IS 4 MORE KNOWN. BESIDE THE OTHER NOT PASS BY THE MEDIA,
GREG
YES THE FISH ARE AWARE OF THE WATER THEY SWIM IN,
DID YOU EVER SEE FISH LAYING ON THE SAND TO GET A DRY SUNTAN,
@retire05: You are correct. Black on black violence in Chicago continues and the level is absolutely unacceptable.
You and others are disingenuous (LYING) when blaming the 4 deaths Sat. night and Sun. morning on T.M. rally.Not so. Lets call a spade a spade-oops.
@retire05:
Possibly I was caused to miss that by the title of this thread: FOUR DEAD, NINE WOUNDED After Chicago Trayvon Rally
It would be sort of like a headline saying FOUR DEAD, NINE SERIOUSLY INJURED After Texas Gun Show, when the deaths and injuries resulted from an unrelated traffic incident on the expressway.
@Richard Wheeler:
The slaughter of young black men in Chicago, and Detroit, and Los Angeles and New York, et al, has been going on for a long time. And those four, one of them a very, very young girl, will be little mentioned and not long remembered by anyone but their families. Yet, the Trayvon Martin fiasco continues. Why? Who is profiting from Trayvon Martin’s death? Certainly not those who have been left dead on the streets of Chicago. Were their lives less valuable than Trayvon Martin’s? I think not.
Nice try, Richard. But then, you’re very good at twisting what I say so why don’t you show where I blamed the deaths of those 4 on the T.M. rally? Or did I point out the ” irony in four dead in Chicago that will be ignored by the Black Grievance Industry and the Trayvon Martin rally?”
@Greg:
So now you’ve reduced your argument to the comparison of four dead by murder to four dead by traffic accident? You can only use that if those four dead by traffic accident were slaughtered by an illegal drunk driver that your side wants to stay in this country. Because that is vehicular manslaughter. Oh, and that idiot, John McCain.
@retire05: @retire05: See Gregs # 11. Where are the riots you Sherm and others predicted?
@retire05, #12:
Zimmerman’s lawyers?
Right-wing media blowhards and their sponsors?
Firearm manufacturers and gun dealers?
@Richard Wheeler:
I said:
You first, Richard. Then we’ll move on to your latest question.
@Greg:
To my knowledge they have worked (so far) pro-bono.
You mean like Chrissy Matthews apologizing for ALL “white” people? That kind of blowhard?
Well, considering that most black young men are killed in their own neighborhoods by other blacks, and Illinois just passed a concealed carry law, yeah, maybe the firearm manufacturers and gun dealers are profiting from not the death of Trayvon Martin, but the many deaths of black teenagers at the hands of other blacks teenagers in every major city (most run by Democrats) in the nation.
Too bad Marley Lion, Matthew Bohannon and his older brother, Andrew did not have guns. Maybe they would still all be alive. But hey, no big deal. Just three young males killed by black trash. Oh, yeah, they were all three white, and all killed within the last 72 hours. I’m sure Eric Holder is right on those cases.
@retire05: You didn’t blame the 4 deaths on the T.M rally which was peaceful like other rallies nationwide. Where are the predicted riots? Sherm says “summer’s not over” BTW did you see where Sherm plans to change his moniker?
4 DEAD and many 9 wounded after the RALLY,
AND COUNTING.
if it’s not in the rally, it’s outside the rally. or because of the rally,
@Richard Wheeler, #17:
If that’s the case, what happened to all of Zimmerman’s defense fund donations? Between May 3, 2012 and January 2, 2013 it brought in $181,161.87, according to the official gzdefencefund.com website. Donations were running as high as $77,000 in a single week. According to International Business Times, the site raised around $500,000. At least that’s the total they’ve admitted to.
I imagine the qualifier “right-wing” would exclude Chris Matthews from any such list.
My guess is that the vast majority of firearms on the streets of Chicago were supplied by American gun dealers. That’s the initial point of sale. Unless maybe someone is smuggling loads of small arms across Lake Michigan by submarine.
@Richard Wheeler:
You’re right. I didn’t. So why did you say I did?
Define “riot.” And define how many people it takes to constitute a “riot.”
He’s right. We still have the rest of July, all of August and in Texas, all of September.
And that should be important to me why?
@Greg: As usual you have NO proof of your accusations. Not surprised given your track record of false statements.
@retire05: You’re just not too quick o5.
@Greg:
Of course. And many of those “street” guns were purchased by straw purchasers. You know, the very people that Eric Holder facilitated through the ATF.
@Richard Wheeler:
I doubt anyone is half as smart as you think you are.
retire05
one more wow to put in your collection.
So far there haven’t been any riots or violence in response to the verdict. Hopefully it stays that way. Given the calls for violence, riots, and bounties being put on Zimmerman’s head, there was ample concern for it. The lefties here seem to think that the predictions of riots were some sort of a wet dream for cons. It was quite obvious that law enforcement had the same concerns and rightfully so.

I also don’t recall any of those on the left going on record here stating that there would absolutely be no violence after the verdict if Zimmerman was found innocent. A strong indication that they thought the same thing.
@another vet:
You caught some great links, another vet.
I had been keeping up on my old stomping ground, Long Beach, CA.
Most ”date night” businesses make 60-to-70% of their money on Fri,Sat, Sun.
In LB a ”bash mob was predicted based on police monitoring social media.
All the businesses on Pine and at the Pike were ordered closed on Fri.
The police cancelled all days off.
No mobs happened that day.
BUT the city lost big time.
Lost revenues from businesses.
Overtime for police.
Better safe than sorry is expensive.
@another vet:
You say that knowing, I assume, full well that the President, on the eve of the planned assembles, made a forceful plea for peaceful protests. And guess what, thousands of your fellow citizens exercised their Constitutional rights peacefully. Yet some on the Right, this website in fact, have blatantly lied (there is no other word for it) by calling the President’s speech a call for blood, for GZ’s “head”. How do you reconcile the truth of what was said and what happened with the narrative of what wasn’t said and what didn’t happen?
@Common Sense, #22:
I’m not the one making scurrilous, unproved accusations about the motives of the black community, about a dead kid who isn’t in a position to defend his reputation, or about the dead kid’s family. Nor am I deliberately misrepresenting the nature of the rallies.
@Greg:
Unfortunately for you, Greggie, the information is out there to show that Trayvon Martin was not the angelic 14 year old pilot wannabe that was portrayed by the Scheme Team. This was a kid who was into drugs, lean, fighting, guns, wanting to have sex with a “white” girl and had porn photos on his cell phone.
@Tom:I didn’t listen to Obama’s speech so I can’t comment on it or the response to it by anyone on this web site. Those who commented were exercising their 1st Amendment right, right or wrong. I’m assuming you are old enough to remember Rodney King and the MLK and Malcolm X assassinations or at least have read about them. There is a history of violence. The people here who predicted the violence are probably basing that on past experience. If that is a pre-perceived notion, it will take years for it to go away. Hopefully we have turned the corner and people will quit listening to the likes of the fringe groups like the Black Panthers. Now a question for you, do you think that had there been a different President (R), that there wouldn’t have been violence had that President (R) called for peace and calm? I seem to recall that GHW Bush called for that after Rodney King’s verdict and it didn’t make a difference.
The word ”after” has liberal panties all bunched up.
So, I’ll say ”since,” instead.
It is now 6 dead, 23 wounded in shootings in Chicago since the rally there for Trayvon Martin.
A few of the details……
*Donald Lewis, 25, of the 2600 block of West 12th Place, was fatally shot outside a group of boarded-up Cabrini-Green row homes.
*A 23-year-old man was shot in the leg.
*Marcus Holden, 28, was shot multiple times and was found unresponsive at the scene. He died.
*A 40-year-old man also was shot multiple times.
*A 28-year-old woman was shot in the back.
*A 22-year-old man was shot in the back.
*Eugene Clark, 25, was shot multiple times near 71st and Ashland. He died. An arrest has been made.
*William Brown, 34, of the 8700 block of South Essex, was shot in the head and died.
*Carlos Barron, 19, was killed in a drive-by shooting.
*Maurice Gibson, 26, was on the sidewalk in the 8100 block of South Vincennes when he was shot in the head he died.
* A 6-year-old girl,Quianna Tompkins, was shot in the chest.
*A 52-year-old woman was shot in the thigh.
*A man in his 30s suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the abdomen.
Notice the two children who were shot?
Sorry, but isn’t Obama calling Chicago his ”home?”
Why no outrage from him?
Were the shooters the wrong color perhaps?
And how would we know?
Only one arrest out of all of that!
Nan G
that is terrible, there are no other words for it, a real massacre,
and they leave the burden to the BRAVE POLICE OFFICERS TO DEAL WITH IT,
INSANE AND UNREAL TO SEE THE INAPTITUDE OF THE LEADERSHIP.
AND THEY WANT A FEDERAL RE-CASE, WHICH WILL NOT PROVE GUILT UNLESS THEY FABRICATE IT,
MORE DEATHS AND WOUND COMING,
AMERICA IS AT WAR, WITHIN, BE ALERT AND READY.
get THE ARMY IN america to fix the problem and help the OFFICERS OF THE LAW,
THIS HAS GONE OUT OF HAND WITH THE RALLYS AND THEIR LEADERS
CALLING FOR WAR,
the citizens are not safe in AMERICA
the LEADERS have chase away GOD AND THE 10 COMMANDS, THE FLAG AND THE CONSTITUTION,
THEY LOST CONTROL OF THAT PART OF CITIZENS, DON’T BLAME ANY ONE BUT YOU BUNCH OF IGNORANTS,
NO ONE IS MORE GUILTY THAN YOU AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
I am listening but hear nothing but crickets from the office of the WH. Gee I guess black on black crime just doesn’t get it politically. I am also waiting on the WH to say something about a young white girl who was killed by two young black men and then stuffed her body in a garbage can. Why? to steal her bicycle. no. no story here either. obama, sharpton, holder, jackson, beyonce, jayz et al are nothing but RACE BAITERS. (and yes in capital letters)
@Tom:
Meaning Obama was also concerned about post trial violence. I also checked and saw that two of the three reverends (Sharpton and Jackson) made similar pleas meaning they too were thinking of post trial violence. Why do suppose that is? Past events in this country? Racial stereotyping? Perhaps trying to calm the waters after they stirred them up with their past statements? Comments they read on FA? A combination thereof? Does that also make them right wing racists who stereotype blacks?
This whole sorry episode boils down to two boneheads who had a physical confrontation resulting in one of them ending up dead. Today, July 22, 2013, there are probably dozens of two such boneheads who will get into a physical confrontation. It’s not worthy of national news nor of statements from the President or any other national figure.

on my JULY 20 newspaper CANADA,
4 MEN FOUND IN DEPLORABLE CONDITION IN A GARAGE THEY WHERE FORCE TO LIVE IN THE GARAGE, IN HOUSTON, THE POLICE SAID AT LEAST ONE ONE IS A MILITARY,
THEY WHERE BEING HELD CAPTIVE SO THAT THEIR CAPTOR COULD CASH
THEIR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE CHECKS THEY WHERE MALNOURISH AND ALMOST INVALIDSTAKEN TO A HOSPITAL ON A STRETCHER, THE POLICE DESCRIBE THE LIVING CONDITION AS A DUNGEON NO BED ONE CHAIR,
THEY WHERE THERE FOR MANY WEEKS,
A NEIGHBOR CALL AUTHORITIES, YESTERDAY TO REPORT, AOTHER NEIGHBOR SAID ONE APPROCH HER BEGGING FOR HELP, SHE SAID, I didn’t believe him because he was not crying,
oops, I am crying ,
@ilovebeeswarzone: There are types of people out there. One can only wonder how desperate people will become if things really get bad.
another vet
yes, it seems that it’s escalating to that end,
and no one can depend on the leader, HE HAS NO CLUE WHAT TO DO,
the SHERIFF AND POLICE OFFICERS can do so much, THEY SHOULD HAVE THE ARMY AS A WHOLE UNIT,
PATROLLING THOSE PLACE OF CRIMES KNOWN AND IDENTIFIED,
BYE
@retire05, #31:
You seem to be under the mistaken impression that it’s OK to shoot unarmed teenagers who aren’t sufficiently angelic to meet your exacting personal standards. Do you have any clue how questionable that entire line of argument seems to psychologically normal people?
@Greg:
And you seem to be under the mistaken impression that a white Hispanic doesn’t have the right to defend himself against a black teen who was seemingly profiling him as a homosexual rapist (according to Rachel Jeantel) or that a punch in the face (according to the rules of the Knock Out game) is not life threatening.
So any creepy ass cracka that might be suspected of following any black teenager is going to be considered a queer rapist and you want to tell me that there is no profiling in this nation? Seems Rachel Jeantel and Trayvon Martin were doing plenty of profiling.
I think I’ve wasted enough of the afternoon in pointless argument.
GREG
OH WAIT, WAIT DON’T GO YET,
unarmed kid you said?
his attack was armed fully, he was trained in martial art he used it,
he had a concrete slab he used the edge to kill,
now you can depart.
