| #12 That's NOTHIN'! Sometime in the early 90's, Dallas was pushing toward 1,000 murders, and it is considerably smaller than Chicago. That was just the City of Dallas, not the whole DFW Metroplex. |

| #5 so you're expendable in the great scheme of things. Posted by P2Kontheroad ...and 500 dead in one large city appears to be an acceptable loss. |

| #4 Of those 500, how many were children? ...then again, being a member of a Democratic special interest group and dying in ones and twos at a time, in one of the most gun restrictive towns and states, doesn't grant the machine more power, so you're expendable in the great scheme of things. |

| #1 People can hurt each other with kitchen knives and darts or live in peace with pistoles, its not what is on-hand it is the culture, and culture is the sum of x daily decisions, and its almost like the leaders are unable or unwilling to solve problems. But hey, its easy to be brave inside of a castle. |
