Chicago is a different thing and he has no business there.

[Hortical]

Ok, its business as usual with people killing each other in Obama's hometown. This is a reflection of the poor leadership by Obama's boy & the Democratic goons in Chicago, and lack of interest at the nation level.

[Mosiah]

That's just abject nonsense, my friend.

One situation happens to be internecine violence that happens all over the USA and many parts of the world, albeit at alarming rates in places like Chicago.

The other...well, can you tell me what the other is, and what the difference could be?

[Hortical]

Nonsense? Why do black people only react when someone is killed by a white cop? Nonsense is only flinching when 60 people are shot in a weekend.

[Mosiah]

Clearly, you don't understand the issues.

Ask somebody.

So what would you say about Newark, NJ? Chris Christie is doing a wonderful job in curbing the daily shootings over there.

[Hortical]

Break it down, I went to public school. - thanks

He is correct... the violence by Black men on their own is a far bigger problem than Babylon violence

We will not be respected by cops or anyone until we first respect ourselves

[Hortical]

I am not in tuned with Newark issues. The mayor & police chief are primarily responsible for reducing crime in their city. If they are incapable, the Gov must bring his resources to the city. If they are all failing, the Feds must step in. 60 people shot in one weekend in Chicago, no National Guard? Really?? Oh black lives are not important!

[Rockman]

Hortical,we have seen many attempts aimed at stemming the uproar resulting from the execution of Brown;the suspiciously timming of the release of the shoplifting surveillance video,the appointment of the afro american lieutenant etc...
Si
Similary,the Chicago......
There is unprecedented attention being given to the Missouri matter,the only distinction between that and countless similar occurrances is the continued flare ups of violence ,looting and property destruction.This is the first time officials from Amnesty Internationhave set foot on US soil in their official capacities.
It could easily spread like wildfire because other states can easily identify with the protestors in Missouri.

[Mosiah]

Ok. So what should Obama do?

[Don1]

there's only one thing he can do to stay safe... don't cross the Military Industrial Complex too much

so far he's doing a good job of that
