I am a real American in every way. Please don't lump everyone in a pile to appease the peanut gallery. Our Freedom as a nation is secure, we can stop making that word an amorphous code word. Since 1812 our shores have never really been attacked. Notwithstanding some Nazi and Japanese potshots during WWII. Any and everything within reason you can do in this nation. The word we need to focus on is Responsibility, not Freedom,not values. As an American we are responsible for ouselves, our neigbors our community and our nation.

violent crime is down! what world are you living in?

Obamas States of America! Where your Laawwd n savior has led you to imaginary water and will soon leave you to die of thirst as the entitlements recede..., who ever thought ignorance and lazyness would be the most useful and divisive tools for the democrat party...

One of the most divisive things that this president has done was when he set flags at half mast for the death of a crack head singer, but not for a Navy Seal that gave his life to protect just that freedom that is so taken advantage of.... What do you expect real hard working Americans to read out of that? I read it as, if you love America you are no good, if you want to protect American values you are no good, smoke crack, be famous and support the lies and you will have a day set asside for you! As Hillary screams "What does it matter?" ... Dems.

Afrocine says: "Now, should you Batcave, fear going to Chicago? I think not."

I agree, Afrocine! I tell people all the time, Chicago is a GREAT city for a vacation. There are some fantastic restaurants, museums, some of the best live theatre outside of NYC, the aquarium, and VERY friendly locals. Chicago is a great place to visit!

This is the problem with these young guys. As you have seen the mothers allow and support these guys and behavior. That is the biggest problem in these communities. Let's hope the Judge will not slap them on the wrist this time and all three go to jail for at least 10 years each. If not they will do it again and again with support from their mommas.

Chicago is a violent city. I wish it wasn't. The gang and just plain foolishness culture is very powerful in Chicago. Now, should you Batcave, fear going to Chicago? I think not. Your journey would be paved with gold, mine however, would be a different story. I would need to watch every step because the majority of the people you cite in your demographic look like me. I resemble both the perpertrator and the victim, you don't. I appreciate your concern for me though.

Thank goodness we have you to condescend upon us so that we rightly know our place, and the value of our opinionated, if limited, understanding.JohnDrescher""

I certainly am capable of being able to mentally place myself in other's shoes to comprehend their actions. My comment was only directed at those that are incapable of such......do you feel guilty about something or perhaps you don't have the ability for empathy? My comment was just that.....a comment or my opinion if you will. It is not in my nature to be condescending.....it's amazing to me that you would read into my posting as that.

A disproportionate amount of violent crime commited by certain Demographics. Chicago for example. batcave""

Hmmm...then how is it that we have a disproportionate amount of public mass shootings commited by a specific demographic ....and they aren't black. So, do you blame the specific race in most public mass shootings? Or do you simply blame the person(s)? You can't have it both ways.

Beaulah Jackson opines "I doubt very many people can step outside themselves for even a moment to place one's self in another’s shoes in an attempt to know the why."

But you clearly believe you can, right Beaulah? Thank goodness we have you to condescend upon us so that we rightly know our place, and the value of our opinionated, if limited, understanding.

WHY not one's race. Simply not true on the grand scale. A disproportionate amount of violent crime commited by certain Demographics. Chicago for example.
