Bodies Are Stacking Up as Progressive Politicians Blame Everything but Themselves

Police officers are being shot nationwide. A young girl in Chicago took two stray bullets to the head and died. Thus far this year, the nation has had 27 mass shootings.
Who or what is to blame? That depends on whom you ask, and sometimes, which news outlet is reporting.
New York State
New York’s “progressive” governor, Kathy Hochul, blames “illegal guns” for the recent shootings of two New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers, one of whom died. He was a 22-year-old rookie.
“We have a moral obligation to do everything we can to fight the scourge of illegal guns on our streets,” Hochul said in a statement. “Too many lives have been lost because of illegal firearms that should never have been on our streets.”
The cop-killer, Lashawn McNeil, used a gun he wasn’t legally allowed to own, with a 50-round drum magazine that is illegal in New York state.
So, who or what is to blame? Spoiler alert: the illegal gun didn’t load and fire itself. Maybe guns aren’t the real scourge here.
Chicago
An eight-year-old girl was hit by two “stray bullets” in Chicago. The bullets weren’t “stray” like a cat; they were purposely fired. Every indication is that the shooting was gang-related. That didn’t keep local residents from taking to the streets to advocate for “access to mental health care services.”
With the exception of Tony Soprano, how many gangsters are seeking a good shink for therapy?
FACT-O-RAMA! As of this writing, 179 people — a 9% rise from 2021 — have been shot in Chicago already this year. Overall, 4,542 were shot in 2021.
Chicago’s leftist mayor, Lori Lightfoot, thanked the girl’s neighbors for “surrounding Melissa’s mother with love as she grieves the loss of her daughter.”
What Lightfoot and her state’s attorney, Kim Foxx, have failed to do is create a situation where a gang-banger might think twice about firing a weapon in the direction of a child. (Word on the street is there is a video showing the gang-related shooter firing his gun even though the young girl was in clear view).
Foxx has long been accused of letting violent felons out of jail, and it’s more than an accusation. It’s been happening for a while now.
If I were gangbanger, I’d feel empowered to commit all the violent crimes I want. What’s going to happen to me?
FACT-O-RAMA! By mid-2020, Kim Foxx had dropped over 25,000 felony charges, including charges for shootings, murder, and sex crimes.
Mayor Lightfoot is on the same page as her comrade Kathy Hochul; they blame the guns, not the person pulling the trigger or the leftist politicians who go easy on crime.
