Cleveland - The War on Guns

Fun Times in Cleveland Again

Mayor Justin Bibb and the Cleveland Foundation have announced the first recipients of grants from Cleveland’s violence-prevention fund, which the mayor describes as an historic, long-term investment in public safety. [More]

No doubt they have cost/benefit metrics to document how much violence will be prevented…? They don’t? They have no idea? This is simply a bunch of fraudulent and incompetent Democrats poltroons who don’t have a clue taking unearned credit and sticking their snouts in the trough while the lapdog press eats it up and regurgitates it for public consumption?

Hey, at least we’re not Detroit…

So Much for ‘Crime Gun Intelligence’

“The flow of crime guns to those people. How are they being armed? Many of them are felons, people who the law says can’t have weapons yet there finding them anyway.” [More]

So the guy in charge admits what he’s doing isn’t working and his solution is to do more of it…?

And marvel at the way professional “Authorized Journalists” are not only subject matter ignorant but grade-schoolers with their stock-in-trade, the English language.

So much for the “tenants” of journalism…

If Only They’d Disarm You and Me…

The U.S. Marshals and Cleveland police have taken custody of Antonio Baker, who is accused in at least three shootings, including one murder… U.S. Marshals took the second suspect, Bryce Tanksley, 18, into custody Thursday morning. The third suspect, a 15-year-old boy, was shot and killed Wednesday night… [More]

Between white supremacy and easy access to guns, I’d say Cleveland has a problem.

Proof That ‘Replacement Theory’ is a Racist Right-Wing Trope

Cuyahoga County needs people to reverse its decades-long population decline, and millions of people throughout the world need somewhere safe to go. So why not bring them here? [More]

Whether decline is a bad thing or not depends on the population.

Chris Ronyane, of course, is a Democrat.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Fun Times in Cleveland Again

The suspect was described by police as about 20 years old, 5′10″ tall with a thin build, and was wearing a green hoodie and jeans. [More]

They had to provide a photo to show what “real reporter” Rachel Vadaj and her editors dare not tell you.

“Gun-free school zone,” eh?

Cleveland, eh?

Fun Times in Cleveland Again

Cleveland could reach homicide figures this year that it hasn’t recorded since the 1980s, when the city’s population was much greater. [More]

But it doesn’t involve the whole “city’s population,” does it?

At least we’re not Detroit.

Fun Times in Cleveland Again

“If the violence were taking place in Strongsville, if the violence was taking place in Westlake, if the violence were taking place on the east side — far east side — everybody would be in far different emotional outrage about what’s taking place,” said Rev. Kenneth Chalker of First United Methodist Church. [More]

What we have here is a failure to comprehend why that is.

That and an insistence on following the path of most destruction.

At least we’re not Detroit.

Rash Decisions

Two men are accused of a committing rash of robberies at several dollar stores and pharmacies in Cleveland and Euclid. According to prosecutors, the men committed six robberies in 12 days. [More]

And I suppose before this “rash” they’d lived the lives of young saints…?

Grieveland

Student shot and killed at bus stop near John Adams high school in Cleveland [More]

John Adams, eh?

And “gun violence”?

As long as the conversation is dominated by subsidized distractors like Cleveland Peacemakers Alliance and idiot narrative parroters in the media, the focus will continue to be on the effect instead of the cause.

At least we’re not Detroit.

We’re the Only Ones Overkilling Enough

On Nov. 29, 2012, a police chase involving 60 police cruisers through multiple cities in Northeast Ohio ended with 13 officers firing 137 shots into a car leading to the deaths of two unarmed individuals, Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams. [More]

They almost tied with Bonnie and Clyde!

The important thing is, they all made it home at the end of their shift.
