With gun deaths up in Seattle, leaders ask how 'to bring us together'

[RedCardinalSeven]

For some reason, the "leaders" don't seem to be talking about cracking down hard on violent criminals before they become killers or whether there may be a cultural aspect (see here and here) that helps explain why the shooters and victims come "disproportionately" from the same minority group.

More platitudinous twaddle: grandiloquent nebulosities and generalities urging all and sundry to join hands and sing "Cumbaya."

I guess they don't care about knife deaths, or baseball bat deaths.

Leaders? I don't think ANY of us are supposed to talk about it. I'm too simple-minded to figure out why no media is interested in telling us that a majority of murders and other violent crimes are being committed by a very identifiable 5% chunk of our population.

I would have figured that the "summer of love" vibe that Mayor Dipstick was touting would have spilled over into the fall and maybe even into winter....

They use the increasing violence as a result of their policies to call for "gun safety"measures.
It's not unintended consequences - they aren't stupid.

I think there's a chance that voters are a little more pro-gun right now in our state. How long it will stay that way, I give it less than a year.

Well in our town over here, the police force FIRMLY practices proactive police work versus reactive. Something the left coast doesn't comprehend
