Chicago War Zone

[NorthDallas40]

So is Dallas a cess pool of violence on a scale greater than Chicago?

There is violence for sure in Dallas. However that isn’t an argument I remember making. What do they call that again? Straw... something ?

You are essentially telling me, "I know Chicago is a cesspool because I can look at the statistics. I don't need any baseline. I just know." What I am saying is that chicago is a cesspool of violence when compared to what?

Seems like the gun laws are only there to for a specific group/demographic of people.

Potential criminals?

Draw your own comparison. In fact you already have.

Points at cow. “That is a cow.”

“Compared to what? That horse over there?”

“No not compared to anything. It’s just a cow.”

Just like Chicago is a cesspool

Yes one law abiding demographic is punished for the lawlessness of another and it still doesn’t work.

I taught my children before they were even in kindergarten that the innocent always suffer because of the guilty.
It seems as if some of you guys still do not understand that simple life lesson.

It sure seems that way when it comes to Democrats and the Clintons

That’s a sad life lesson to teach. You might accept that but I do not.

His son was killed in the worst shooting of Chicago’s most violent weekend. He ‘just happened to be one of them’

Aug. 6, 2018: 74 people shot, 12 fatally, in Chicago over the weekend

The same weekend as massacres in El Paso and Dayton, 15 people were shot in 2 Chicago incidents. Why aren’t those called mass shootings too?

56 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend, including four fatally


Looks like it’s getting plenty of coverage

They do count these as mass shootings when it’s convenient. Every drive by or public shooting is considered “mass” when it fits the narrative.

You cannot arrive at any real conclusions using your method.

Your opinion doesn't carry much weight, but you've made your point, "in your opinion, chicago is a cesspool."

this is something that you and I see eye to eye on.

Oh I’d call it a fact but you will just reject it because you have to compare to something to make your whataboutism arguments.

Walks like a duck

Quacks like a duck

Looks like a duck

Must be a cessp... er duck!

How many gun deaths does it take to be a cesspool of violence? Does population size matter?

Then you are insanely delusional.

It's much more about demographics to some..........it's the elephant in the room.

It’s all about the demographics genius, statistics don’t lie

How much violence in general does it take to be a cesspool of violence? The tools used don’t matter.

I don't think that's a road you want to go down.

Still focusing on only guns eh? Ok.

I’m not having as much fun anymore. Your argument is boring.

Your ability at analyze statistics and derive meaning is frighteningly lacking.

Any deaths works fine for me, but we were talking about how gun control doesn't work. Seems advisable to maintain a bit of focus. Anyhoo, my arguments are unchanged. You are still left with your opinion and you haven't yet explained why that is trustworthy.

Actually I believe our current exchange started by me pointing out you were using whataboutism is trying to prove your statements? Argument seems a bit too strong a word here.

Stats mean nothing without some comparison or baseline. With such it becomes an supportable argument.
