-Lurid Crime Tales-
2 Chicago moms' sons were murdered. Now they're suing 3 suburban towns.
2015-08-05
Bluf: [Washington Post] In an unusual lawsuit filed July 7, Bosley and Nance-Holt claim their civil rights have been violated by three suburban governments that they say do not adequately regulate gun shops near the Chicago border. The suit argues that weapons sold at these stores are responsible for too much of the violence that disproportionately afflicts this poor, black corner of Chicago.

Critics say the two mothers are stretching the definition of civil rights too far, and are urging the court to dismiss the case. Either way, the suit is timely: Although Chicago recorded the fewest killings in nearly 50 years in 2013, the homicide rate has since been on the rise, darting up 20 percent in the first half of this year.

Together, they blame the three villages, Lyons, Lincolnwood and Riverdale, for what they call a "flood" of guns into the city.
So black urban crime is now to be blamed on white suburbia. Ok, I get it.

#2  Crime can't be blamed on the trigger pullers if they have too much melanin.

#1  It is all about you giving everything you have to the "Black" victim community to assuage your sins of being white.

Also known as extortion.

I'm really starting to lean to the option of napalming the inner city to clean it up.
