Bloody Labor Day weekend in 2 Democrat-run cities is "Devastating and Unacceptable"



Violent guns in Philadelphia and Chicago, two Democrat-run metropolises where guns are outlawed, somehow didn't get the memo that they were not allowed to be used and these guns caused bloodshed over the Labor Day weekend.

The Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) recorded 38 total gun violence victims between Friday and Monday, including nine who died from their wounds, authorities told Fox News Digital.

"The amount of violent incidents over this holiday weekend is devastating and unacceptable," Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney tweeted Monday. 

What does he mean by "unacceptable?" If he isn't going to accept it, what is his plan to stop those violent guns? Or by not accepting it, does he mean that he doesn't accept the fact that people were shot?

"Philadelphians deserve to be safe in their communities. My deepest sympathies go out to all those affected by this senseless violence, especially families that have lost loved ones."

Well, now that we know his deepest sympathies, as opposed to his shallowest sympathies, go out to all those affected by senseless violence, that helps a lot. 

One Sunday shooting incident that occurred around 5:45 p.m. at the intersection of Market Street and 10th Street — just blocks away from Philadelphia City Hall — resulted in the arrests of five juveniles along with their violent guns.

Police recovered two angry, illegal violent guns, including one with an illegal extended magazine, in their pursuit of the juveniles, according to PPD Commissioner Danielle Outlaw.

"Those who take part in violent behavior will be apprehended; our residents and visitors will not be intimidated, and ours [sic] officers will not be deterred," Outlaw said in a Sunday tweet.

On Monday, six people were illegally shot on the 700 block of Russell St in North Philadelphia. Two of the six victims died, and two are in critical condition, according to PPD. This also sounds unacceptable.

"Two people have died, two are in critical condition, and two are expected to recover physically," the Department said in a Monday tweet. "The violence happening in our city is unacceptable, and we ask the public to not only keep the victims in your prayers, but also to share information about crime in your neighborhoods."

There is a $20,000 reward being offered for information leading to the suspect involved in Monday's deadly shooting. Law enforcement asks that anyone with information to call 911 or 215-686-TIPS.

Homicides in Philadelphia are up 3%, with 373 total homicide victims recorded so far this year compared to 361 at the same time last year.


In Chicago, police recorded 55 total shooting victims, including nine who died from their injuries, between Friday and Monday evening. Another homicide victim was fatally stabbed, according to the Chicago Police Department.

The total number of shooting victims decreased, however, by 23% compared to Labor Day Weekend last year.

In one Sunday incident, four men between the ages of 18 and 20 were shot when "an unknown offender approached the victims, produced a handgun, and fired shots." One of the 18-year-old victims was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

In the Windy City, Chicago Police Department (CPD) Superintendent David Brown bragged about "significant declines in gun violence in the city" during a Tuesday press conference. He noted that there has been 605 few violent guns shooting people so far this year and that homicides are down 15% with shootings down 19%.

Meanwhile, almost 1,000 carjacking arrests have been made in 2022 and cops have recovered 8,765 guns this year, proving the old saying that when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.

"Our job is never done," Brown said Tuesday. "There's not a day that we don't risk our lives for all of you in this city, and we'll continue that."

Last year, Philadelphia saw record homicide numbers, while Chicago recorded a 25-year-high.

Thus far, 463 people have been murdered in Chicago compared to 545 at the same time last year. So the Democrats see this as a positive thing like they do with the federal budget when they lower the rate of debt rather than actually reducing it.

And as I write this post, there's a crazed gunman in Memphis shooting and killing people and live-streaming it on Facebook. Our criminal justice system has become more sympathetic to the criminal than it has for the victim. We even have an idiot Vice President who crowdfunded bail money for a killer who then went out and committed another crime.

Mass gun violence in Cincinnati as 9 people are shot by a violent gun



A video showing people fleeing from the sounds of a violent gun shooting multiple times in Cincinnati this past weekend. The video is a 15-second clip from a resident's doorbell camera and you can hear multiple gunshots in the background.

Lt. Colonel Mike John [no relation to the former pitcher Tommy] confirmed there had been an active shooter in the area and that multiple shots were fired, FOX 19 reported. At least nine people were injured by the violent gun in the shooting, but none of them are in critical condition.

A police officer fired one shot at the person with the violent gun but he or she fled the scene. It is not known whether that person was wounded by the good guy with a gun.



There were no suspects in custody as of 5 a.m. Sunday and police believe there was only one violent gun with a shooter involved, but they couldn't confirm that.

"Seen people running and it was just [a] melee," a witness with questionable grammar and poor sentence structure told FOX 19. "Chaos. I actually saw the cops running down the street trying to find the guy who they were looking for."

Miami: guns shoot 25 people, killing 2--guns and shooters fled



A person-hunt is underway in the Miami area early Sunday after three people, whose genders were not revealed by them, held guns that began shooting at the crowd of people at a banquet hall. Two are dead and a third is in critical condition with about 25 shot overall. 

The guns, and the people holding them as they did their evil deeds, fled the scene.

According to WPLG-TV, police are searching for a white Nissan Pathfinder. [We all know how those "white" Nissan Pathfinders are.]

The guns began firing at the El Mula Banquet Hall in the Country Club Shopping Center in Hialeah, WPLG’s Parker Branton tweeted.

Wounded people were transported to various hospitals, either by fire rescue vehicles or personal vehicles, Branton posted.

The hall was being used for a concert when the Pathfinder drove up, three people with violent guns got out and started firing into the crowd, according to Branton.

A combination of rifles and handguns shot at the crowd indiscriminately. 

"We believe this is a targeted act of gun violence," Miami-Dade police Director Alfredo "Freddy" Ramiriez told the newspaper. "This is a despicable act of gun violence, a cowardly act."

Those violent guns should be ashamed of themselves. 

If only we had laws forbidding the use of guns of all makes and models there would be no violent guns and criminals would have to use other legal means to cause harm. Wait--never mind.

The point is, gun violence is simply a way the left tries to make the case that the Second Amendment needs to be abolished. It's how they use language to make their case, just like they do with abortion: a "woman's right to choose," or "pro-choice," as opposed to "killing babies in the womb." 

You know that progressives immediately jump on the anti-gun bandwagon even before the victims are buried. This was a horrific shooting and I don't mean to make light of it, nor do I mean to excuse the people who did the shooting. But don't blame the weapons, blame the shooters.

A suspect arrested in shooting attack in NJ: Gov. Murphy blames violent guns

Kevin Dawkins

New Jersey law enforcement arrested and charged one man with a violent gun in the deadly shooting at a house party over the weekend attended by around 700 people. The violent guns resulted in two deaths and dozens injured. Other arrests may be pending and the violent guns confiscated and made to pay for their crime.

Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae, of Cumberland County, said at a press conference Monday that Kevin K. Dawkins, 36, was arrested and charged with several counts related to weapons use and possession. The prosecutor’s office will move for detention pending trial.

Dawkins faces charges of unlawful possession of violent gun, unlawful possession of a large capacity magazine, certain person not to have a weapon and possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose.

Evidently, if Dawkins is a "certain person not to have a weapon" he probably has a criminal record like the illegal gun that shot people.

McRae said that the office is "still doing interviews" as state police continue to search for further suspects. The interviews may lead to further charges, but the prosecutor was not willing to provide additional information to Brain Flushings or legitimate news outlets as the investigation is ongoing.

"One individual has been arrested, and we anticipate more arrests," New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said at the same press conference.

Grewal also confirmed that police recovered "multiple" violent guns and shell casings, which authorities are using to determine the origin of the weapons and any other crimes with which they may be related.

An undetermined number of miscreants approached a house party on Saturday, firing into the crowd and killing two people: Asia Hester, 25, and Kevin Elliot, 30.

Grewal called the attack "targeted."

Gov. Phil Murphy said the attack was a "microcosm in gun violence" seen nationwide. He said that he wished he could actually arrest the damn guns, but that wouldn't do any good. The guns would still be violent and there would always be someone to hold them and "point" them while they did their evil deeds.

He spoke strongly in support of further gun control, particularly in the wake of the shooting, because that's what political a-holes do when a crisis presents itself for their benefit.

"If it’s one thing we can’t normalize, it’s senseless gun violence," Murphy said, hoping to educate idiots who don't know that point. "We cannot allow there to be a next time."

Murphy would also like to abolish the police insidiously by defunding them and allowing attrition to be the culprit.

Murphy and McRae asked for anyone with information – particularly pictures or video from the party – to come forward and share what they have with police who have yet to be defunded.

No law enforcement social workers were injured in this terrible incident.

Comrade de Blasio points finger at tiny virus for weekend gun violence: makes perfect sense if you're an idiot

De Blasio and wife
The First Place Winner of the Nation's Worst Mayor of a Major City, Comrade Bill "My Real Name is Warren" de Blasio (D), does not blame the surge in gun violence over the weekend on the shooters who shot people, he blames the shootings on the Chinese Communist Wuhan coronavirus.

Brilliant!

While pointing his finger elsewhere, he also defended the city's policing reforms and pretended to keep New York City "the safest big city in America." This is known in intellectual circles as complete bull crap.

The mayor, whose only accomplishment is his height, held a press conference Monday after at least eight people were killed and over 44 others shot and injured in a city with some of the country's toughest gun laws.

“I want to talk about what happened this weekend," the idiot began. "Many were out there celebrating, but we saw too much violence, and we have a lot of work to do to address it,” de Blasio said, while adding that “there is not one cause for something like this.”

He also never explained just what the right amount of violence is acceptable. Probably burning buildings, looting and destroying statues.

“This is directly related to coronavirus,” the idiot mayor said. “This is a very serious situation… As we’re getting into warmer and warmer weather, we’re feeling the effects of people being cooped up for months, the economy hasn’t restarted – we have a real problem here.”

Yeah, the virus. It's the virus. Oh, and Trump.

De Blasio vowed to “double down” to address the violence, which included shootings in Brooklyn, the Bronx and upper Manhattan, noting that it was going to take “neighborhood policing” as opposed to actual policing, and cooperation from clergy and elected officials.

I can hear the priest calling out to Johnny who's holed up in an abandoned building that Black Lives Matter burned down. "C'mon out, Johnny. Give it up--the coppers got the place surrounded."

"They'll never take me alive, Foddah," Johnny shouts back.

A social worker crouches behind Father McMannus and calls out to Johnny, "I know how this makes you feel. It's unfair how they treat you and I totally understand your situation. Tell me, what are you thinking now?"

"F**k you. I don't wanna hear your s**t. Get outta here."

Back to de Blasio.

“This is all hands on deck,” de Blasio cliched, while adding that the city has “been dealt a really tough hand.”

Yes, the city has been dealt a really tough hand, but they were playing Solitaire and elected a schmuck to run it while his wife, Chirlane McCray, launched ThriveNYC in 2015, taking $1 billion to fund a project to overhaul New York's mental health and substance abuse services. The program was criticized by Politico for having an "opaque budget" and "elusive metrics." The results were zero and to date, there is still nearly $850 million in funding still unaccounted for, and Bronx Councilman Ritchie Torres criticized ThriveNYC, saying that there was "no evidence it’s working."

Brilliant!

To add to the brilliant leadership we are witnessing in the city, last month, the NYPD announced it was disbanding its anti-crime unit and reassigning hundreds of plainclothes officers to other divisions amid widespread criticism over the department’s handling of protesters.  Commissioner Dermot Shea said roughly 600 plainclothes officers from the anti-crime unit would be reassigned to other teams where they can help the community get that cat out of the tree that grows in Brooklyn.

“We [became] the safest big city in America. We will keep that title,” de Blasio said. “We will not go back and that’s the work we will do together in New York City.”

He was referring to when Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg were mayor.

Gun-free London: 4 shot in 48 hours

Two anti-Semitic clowns
Four people have been shot in Sadiq Khan's gun-free London. You remember Khan--he's the cretin who wants to outlaw knives because of the recent stabbings that have taken place on his watch.

How could these shootings possibly happen? Guns aren't allowed in the UK.

The first victim was Rhyhiem Ainsworth Barton, 17. He was shot and killed while playing football in Southwark on Saturday evening. A witness told the BBC that a number of shots were fired, one which nearly hit a woman and put a hole in a nearby window.

Barton was described as a talented rapper by his godmother--he died later from his wounds.

On Sunday, two younger boys, ages 13 and 15, were shot within minutes of each other in broad daylight in Wealdstone, northwest London. Both received head injuries and are in the hospital but neither are thought to be life-threatening.

A local shopkeeper said the 13-year-old child was "lucky to be alive," as the bullet appeared to have grazed the back of his head.

A bystander later flagged down police to assist a 22-year-old man who suffered a gunshot wound in the early evening. He was the last known victim of the weekend of violence in gun-free London, where other Londoners were allegedly enjoying a sunny Bank Holiday.

The shooting occurred after UK politicians were having a hissy fit over President Trump's words concerning the high level of violence in London, when he spoke at the NRA conference.

The surgeons at a London hospital which Trump compared to a "war zone" admitted he was correct about knife crime in London, but argued that guns were "no solution," obviously misunderstanding what Trump meant--he wasn't advocating for criminals to be given guns instead of knives [the surgeons said that knife wounds were easier to treat] he was advocating for law-abiding citizens to have the right to defend themselves with guns.

Anyway, the shootings over the weekend in conjunction with statistical analysis show that gun crime in London has risen by 42 percent from 2015/16 to 2016/17. 

This tends to support the NRA adage: "When guns become outlawed, only outlaws will have guns."

Alyssa Milano tweets racist anti-gun claims against NRA and is schooled by NRA spokesman

Alyssa Milano is an actress, and like many in the performing arts, knows everything about everything, and is chock full of advice on how to run the world. The progressive activist took to Twitter to reprimand the National Rifle Association and pull the trusty old race card on them.

Her racially-charged tweet created an inundation of internet responses.

Earlier in the week, Milano tried to contribute to the gun control debate by trying to debase the NRA with this tweetard:
"If @NRA or @NRATV were run by brown of black people, it would be labeled a terrorist organization with hate propaganda programming that incites violence."
Colion Noir, an NRA spokesman, who happens to be black and who never lets progressives get away with bringing race into the gun rights discussion, jumped on her tweet with this response:
"That's odd because I spent all last week being called a Terrorist by people who say what you just said only without the passive aggressive tone." (H/T Twitchy)
Another Twitter user named Victor Nikki also came back at Milano and tweeted: 
"There are so many times I believe that some Lib has concocted the absolute stupidest tweet to have ever been tweeted but then another Lib tweets & surpasses the previous tweet's stupidity. For now, this is the stupidest tweet ever, but Libs have an infinite capacity for stupidity."

JH19 tweeted:
"5 members of the NRA board of directors are black, but you knew that didn't you."
BuckinTennessee tweeted:
"Never has the NRA incited violence. That is a blatant falsehood. Do you enjoy spreading lies?"
Noir has been a significant part of the gun debate and school violence, particularly how it relates to race and racism. He recently schooled David Hogg, self-proclaimed gun control expert and garbage-mouth, for speaking on behalf of African-Americans.

Trump blasts Rahm Emanuel on gun violence

Chicago just had one of its most violent years in its history with 762 homicides--the most in twenty years. 

Donald Trump took to Twitter Monday to attack Chicago leftist Mayor Rahm Emanuel: "Chicago murder rate is record setting--4,331 shooting victims with 762 murders in 2016," he tweeted. "If Mayor [Rahm Emanuel] can't do it he must ask for Federal help!"

Emanuel met with Trump on Dec. 7th in Trump Tower in Manhattan, but they spoke about illegal immigration, not gun violence. 

Chicago is our third largest city and saw 1,100 more shootings last year than it did the previous year and this has been the largest homicide spike in 60 years. 

It's almost safer in Aleppo.

Emanuel was Obama's former White House chief of staff and as such, did as good a job as he now does in Chicago. The shooting violence is staggering and police and city officials are concerned over the flood of illegal guns into Chicago--and the crime numbers support their concerns.

Police have recovered 8,300 illegal guns in 2016. a 20 percent increase from 2015. 

Chicago is among many U.S. cities that have seen a spike in violence, including attacks on police, said Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson. He said that anger at police, left criminals 'emboldened' to violent crimes.

He added that it's becoming clearer to criminals that they have little to fear from the criminal justice system. "Any time a guy stealing a loaf of bread spends more time pre-trial in jail than a gun offender, something is wrong."


Exactly. It isn't gun laws that prevent gun crime--it's the faithful execution of those laws.

Johnson has been complaining about Illinois' lax gun laws and believes more gang members are arming themselves because the price for being caught with a gun is small compared to other large cities.

Typical liberal thinking.

Johnson said gang members he has spoken to think the court system is 'a joke'.


The majority of deaths and shootings which jumped from 2,426 in 2015 to 3,550 in 2016, took place in only five of the city's 22 police districts on the South and West sides, all poor, predominantly black areas where gangs are most active. About 80 percent of the shooting victims are known to police and had gang ties or past arrests.

Emanuel announced last year that 1,000 cops would be added to the department and in the meantime, police officials are trying to figure out why homicides and shootings suddenly surged.

Whatever the cause, gun control is clearly not the answer, as Chicago is among the strictest in the nation. 

But conservatives always knew that.

Obama tears: the new gun oil

In honor of the empty seat Clint Eastwood used to represent the absence of a real president of the United States, our current so-called president of the United States is using the same prop that represented him, to represent victims of gun violence. However, the White House left out the entire explanation regarding the prop. 

The drama will take place at the State of the Union address on Tuesday and it is predicted that nothing will change--law abiding citizens will continue to not kill innocent people with their guns but criminals will, and Islamic extremists will continue to take advantage of "gun-free zones" shooting as many unarmed citizens as they can before police arrive.

Obama is pretending to reduce gun violence by being a dictator and shredding the Constitution. In fact, the Constitution was written to protect us from the Obamas of the world just as he pretends that he is not trying to take our guns from us.

If he was so concerned about the lives that could be saved, even if it's only a few, he should consider becoming a dictator over the pro-abortionists and take those rights away from them while providing rights to the unborn who cannot speak for themselves.

A White House official said that Obama told his supporters the open seat next to Moochelle'v viewing box was for "the victims of gun violence who no longer have a voice--because they need the rest of us to speak for them."

Great idea. Let's do the same for the unborn. They  apparently don't count as much to Obama as the gangbangers who shoot each other on the streets of Chicago.

How is it that Obama can cry over a child who is accidentally killed by gun violence, but he's perfectly okay with a child's brain being harvested while he's still alive?


He says that he's using his executive powers to change gun laws because Congress has failed to act, but that is precisely why we have a separation of powers. Just because Congress refuses to go along with his abuse of Constitutional law, does not give him the right to do as he wants to change the law.


And people wonder why the political outsiders are kicking butt in their campaigning.

The real empty seat was the one Clint Eastwood used to represent Obama, but it also represented many in Congress.

"Molon labe, baby."
