They'll deny it, of course.<br /><br />PS: Welcome back. Have you seen the execrable BBC News special report, "The Lost Streets of Chicago"? <br /><br />http://hotair.com/archives/2016/09/13/bbc-video-lost-streets-chicago/<br /><br />Apparently, America's obsession with guns and out-of-control gun culture has caused gang-ridden areas of Chicago to be suddenly flooded with guns, causing them to have no choice but to kill more of each other over the last decade or so than US soldiers have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. Completely out of the black youths' control, it seems.<br /><br />Even with some of the strictest gun control laws in the country (which the BBC forgot to mention), they're forced to slaughter each other as if they were in the great Chow Yun Fat gangster film, "Killer". The feature gun-toting family man - an Iraq veteran, so he has absolute moral authority on guns and violence - opined that the troubles all started "when they took the gang leaders out". No, the BBC didn't bother to find out what that meant, and I sure as hell don't know. In Chicago, the gang leaders work closely with some of the politicians.<br /><br />Americans and their stupid guns, eh? Oh, and spot the missing political party which has been running Chicago since 1927, and for the last four years has been run by the first black President's former chief of staff. No, they weren't mentioned either.<br /><br />This was just an eleven-minute shroud waving. The least investigative or curious special report I've ever seen. It was more like the maudlin, sensationalist ratings-fodder they do on the big three American networks. David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.com
