The sword within….The city of dread & death!(,4 killed, 18 wounded in Chicago shootings)

Greetings,

” The great country of America and her great richness, great institutions, and her great towns and cities, spread out like a blanket over the surface of the Western Hemisphere with her tall buildings going upward over a hundred stories! The great architects and building engineers have become such experts at building to precision that it makes their past history of two and four thousand years ago look like child’s play.

Her land is shadowed with the wings of her many planes which cover her almost like a cloud. The great and wonderful work of science on the earth and in the air, her great mighty fleets afloat on the high seas (on the surface and below the surface), her great scientific mechanical communications system! Yet with all of this might of skill in engineering or building, the country of America displays and practices more savagery than any civilized country on the earth. And all of her educational institutions are not enough to make a man so intelligent and proud of his education and of being an American citizen that he would not practice the same savagery.

There is no such thing as law and order. The law is disregarded, as though it were thrown in the jungles to be carried out by savage beasts. Murdering, killing, robbery, raping, and drug addiction are the only law and order that is respected.

It has become such a country that the civilized man of intelligence and decency is afraid to walk the streets of the vast towns and cities of America…..”–Chp.22(tfoa)

4 killed, 18 wounded in Chicago shootings

Four people were killed, including a 15-year-old boy, and at least 18 have been injured in shootings across Chicago since Friday night.

Four people were killed and at least 18 others have been injured in shootings across the US city of Chicago since Friday night.
A 15-year-old boy was among the victims. He was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s office confirmed the death of the teen but was not releasing his identity.

Earlier Saturday, a 23-year-old man was fatally shot in the chest when someone opened fire at a group of people around 5 p.m. local time.

Just after 3 a.m. Sunday, another 23-year-old man was found with multiple gunshot wounds to his body, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Also Sunday, a man was found with a gunshot wound to the chest just before 7:45 a.m. and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Describing the gun violence in Chicago as the “most urgent problem,” Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced a plan in May that would make the city’s gun laws, already some of the strictest in the country, even tougher.

Chicago is notorious for its unusually high number of gun deaths, and the proposal is to stem violence there. Chicago’s gun-related homicide rate is three times higher than New York’s, and twice that of Los Angeles.

Every year, more than 30,000 people are shot and killed in the United States. The year 2012 was a record setting year for gun sales in the US. About 4.5 million firearms are sold annually in the US at a cost of 2 to 3 billion dollars.
