Chicago on Labor Day weekend — 58 people shot, eight killed.  

Washington, D.C., on Labor Day — three shot, one killed.  

Washington, D.C., from Aug. 14 to 26 — no (nada) shootings.  

I attempted to look up the number of shootings and killings for that same time period in Chicago, but they were not readily available.

What was available was the number of people fatally shot in Chicago — thus far this year that number is 278 people.  

Nothing was available about the number of shootings, which, without much imagination, I would assume to be multiplicatively higher.  

Take 58 \ 8 = 7.25 x 278 = 2,015, maybe.  

Well, if you have a Republican mind, you can surmise my thoughts, which are: 

Who in the hell would want to go to Chicago and take a chance on getting shot?

I don’t think one would need to make a strong argument to a weak mind to conceptualize the point that these people may need a little help.  

A term that I have recently become aware of is called living on the “Democrat Plantation.”  

What is amazing is that 212 of these killings are of black Americans. Talk about genocide. I think most could relate that as a Nazi idea… behavior.  

It more closely fits that the Democrats — running the “Democrat Plantation” in Chicago — are… practicing black genocide on the Nazi Democrat Plantation Chicago... and they are definitely on record as not wanting any help to put a stop to it. 

Is it any wonder that 25 percent of black men voted for President Trump in this last election?

I would think that their mothers are turning to Trump, also. 

 Hell, they just want off the plantation — and I don’t blame them.  

Could it be said that, with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s approval rating of just 7 percent, there are just to many Nazi Uncle Toms killing black Chicagoans?

Possibly, if the story is true that I heard last month about Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker’s family ties to Al Capone, the governor — because of genetics — enjoys the death toll, also.  

It might be more accurately a fascist thing — not a Nazi thing.  

To my little Enka/Candler mind, they are the same thing — fascists/Nazis.  

Is it worth the time to look up the difference?  

It just seems logical these people would welcome some help. 

It is obvious they “ain’t” doing a good job of the No. 1 responsibility of government, which is protecting the people.

P.S. —  If you really want your mind blown, look up the number of people killed in Chicago in past years. 

It is possible that the numbers are down because they are running out of people to “euthanize?’”
