I’ve been victim of property crime in Chicago 3 times in the last two years. Yes. Shot my windows out of my car twice. Car Stolen once. not as recent but I was mugged on Cicero Ave (the ghetto) at gun point stealing my coat and shoes … had to walk home in the snow. We were jumped by the 2-6 at a party. Several friends put in the hospital. I got beat … but not hospitalized. Is that enough ?

What? I am calling BS.

In case you couldn’t tell by whom I quoted…I wasn’t asking you. Run along little fella.

You can’t have it both ways. Give me one good reason Chicago released that illegal aloens who cut some poor woman’s head off and stuffed her in a barrel and messed with her corpse. ? These cities stopped policing. It’s why they’re shyte holes in certain areas

What possible reason could there be for this question?

Agreed, and “one” does happen in red states, blue states, and purple states, but I’ll await his answer.

I can’t wait for his waterlogged answer to this.

Unfortunately one can be enough ... one and done.

Let’s get back on topic then, do you think the number of conservatives mad at Cracker Barrel is higher or lower than the number of libs mad at American Eagle?

I’ll ask again since I was adding after originally posting. When was the last time your were a victim Of violent crime. How many times have you been a victim this year?

The more rational parts of the state vote red in larger numbers. That’s pretty easy to see.

How do they often end up with Republican governors? Do they have a lot of people vote R for governor but D for President?

Why do blue cities let criminals go all the time. Why no bail. Why do DAs in blue cities prosecute less. Why are cops running away from blue cities because they’re not allowed to police?

I want less crime too. Yes I do drive through the ghetto. When was the last time you were a victim of violent crime? How many times this year have you been a victim of violent crime?

I want less crime. Do you ever drive through the ghetto? I live in Chicago and it’s unavoidable.

State sovereignty is a pretty emphasized concept in the constitution as well. (I mean, we conservatives are supposed to be real big on state sovereignty and small federal government….right). I don’t recall seeing city sovereignty in the constitution. But again, whatever satisfies your hard on for has to be red vs blue. Like I said, whatever floats your boat. Enjoy.

Your inability to grasp simple concepts makes me feel better about what I said, not worse.

You really are missing something in your understanding of the issue.

I’m talking about America, and freedom and liberty, vs police states. If you want to be king whatabout, and be obsessed with everything has to be red vs blue, well I guess whatever floats your boat. But I’d be careful with that too. Enjoy!

Thanks for standing up so proudly for liberty and not dwelling on the decadence of our largest cities due to graft, corruption, and incompetence, nor the success of the current operation in D.C. I for one, will be on the lookout for one of those “police states.”

And nothing else? That is the dumbest thing you have said yet. Odd shapes are not the goal, they are the result. The goal is to over ride the true representation of a district. That is what gerrymandering is about, and nothing else. The shape is the tool not the goal. And Massachusetts does not have oddly shaped districts like North and South Carolina, Illinois, Maryland and Texas. I know you really want to believe it is true about Massachusetts, but it just isn't despite the fact that gerrymandering was invented there. https://gerrymander.princeton.edu/redistricting-report-card?planId=recCUmeKhThrNstI9

Besides being too stupid to realize that gerrymandering doesn’t have any impact on statewide elections, now you’re compounding your density by claiming it has to do with the numbers. Gerrymandering is a term applying to the shape of the districts, and nothing else. It only affects House races. Next time you see a Massachusetts House District map, come back and tell us how those lines couldn’t be changed.

I must say, I am pretty impressed by how well the predictions ended up being. well done!
