A man? Sounds like less than a man...

That would most likely be a gang-banger.

Trump should be ashamed that this is happening in his America, and he hasn't done anything about it. This is 100% Trump's fault.

For over 50 years the progressive liberal policies of the Democrats have historically ruined that city and yet, the people keep voting these loons in, Obama in 8 years as president has done nothing to tackle this issue aggressively, the same goes with the legislative branch of that city and Emanuel has been one of the worst mayors to run that already besieged city. Once again, Blacks get duped again by progressive liberal polices, as long as the Dems get their votes, nothing else matters, pathetic these people.

That's because there's an extensive global war of terror going on, keeping down the numbers. Without it, the number of "foreign" terror victims would be in the millions.

Yes, but what does that have to do with him NOT addressing the Black community on a continual basis about the out of control black on Black crime. But like most Democrats, they want the Black vote, but other than that, they could care less about Blacks.

3,000 people were killed in one Monday morning in Manhattan in 2001. That was before the war on terror started. The Islamists would have continued killing, and you'd have no argument anymore. The true threat, or potential danger, of "foreign terrorism" is actually immense, capable of shutting down vast parts of our society, like aviation. Gangs can't and won't do this.
Your approach -- which you repeat on this forum -- of comparing 2 simple numbers is simplistic and misleading. It's akin to saying vending machines are more dangerous than nuclear weapons since the latter haven't killed anyone since 1945, whereas the former have killed a dozen or so in that time. It's the potential danger and the threat posed that counts, and which security experts (unlike yourself) are focused on most..

Why is a number that has stabilized if not significantly decreased in the past 20+ years in the USA something that is out of control?

Ok, that's about guns and what else did Obama talk about to stop the Black on Black crimes, not all of it has to do with guns and even if you took all the guns, they would find other ways to kill each other, stop using guns as an excuse, I know full well, that's not the underlying problem within the Black community generally.
Precisely!
These are the real issues that the former president and the left have avoided addressing for years, as usual, they want to shove the blame, that's just what liberals do. it's always someone else's fault, it's never their fault and again, this is why people don't trust Dems and they can't win anything politically, they have zero concept for what it means to be accountable or even responsible

Again, you dodge the issue, guns are NOT the issue, Chicago already has the strictest gun laws in the entire country. Stop shoving the blame on the irresponsibility of the thousands of Black men that refuse to step up to the plate and take care of their kids, be roll models, leave the gangs, get an education, get off of welfare, how about the Dems like under Clinton limit the amount of welfare received and as a result the amount of recipients went down and under Obama, it ballooned! Why libs don't address the school drop out rates, the gangs and on and on, you guys always gloss over that and try to make guns the center, it's just a BS argument and you guys know it. I would respect the left a lot more if they just would come out and say," we hate guns and the country shouldn't have them!" better than this charlatan game of maybe if we can get rid of all the guns, Black men will go back to being better fathers and stop joining gangs and selling drugs and stay in school. Give me a break!
Yes, because their constituents are predominantly Black in the highest crime areas and NONE of them ever address it, especially the Black caucus, completely silent. Where is the Sainted Al Sharpton? Why is he not outraged by this?
Like 2 or 3 times that will greatly change and influence the Black community.
