And note that Nome Park shooting of HS students was drive-by:
Aurora Police Department Chief Vanessa Wilson is asking for the public's help in the investigation of a drive-by shooting at Nome Park that sent six teenagers to the hospital. https://t.co/pJm3tNmwXB
and then there were the weeks preceding in Aurora -
"The shooting Monday follows a series of shootings in recent weeks that killed & maimed Aurora teens. 2 16-year-olds were shot on Oct. 22...The next day, a 15-year-old boy was shot & killed. An 18-year-old was injured in a shooting on Oct. 24 and, 3 days later, 2 17-year-olds..."
"... were injured in an Oct. 27 shooting. Another 18-year-old was shot and killed Sunday. In Nov. 2020, both Aurora and Denver city leaders declared youth violence a public health crisis “that knows no borders and that continues to inflict a devasting toll on both communities.”
Also in Chicago, ,many people who have been arrested for shooting & killing but not yet tried can do things like go to rap concerts out of state

at a private party of "many teenagers" in Houma, LA Sun. nite gunfire broke out; 4 were shot, 2 have been arrested so far and more arrests are expected
[....] For unknown reasons, people attending the party began firing shots and four people were injured.
Houma police say officers arrived and rendered aid to the victims who were all transported to area hospitals for treatment.
Leo Kimber III, 19, and Logan Guidroz, 18, were arrested and face four counts of attempted second-degree murder and seven counts of aggravated criminal damage to property, police said.
The incident is still under investigation and more arrests are expected, according to police.
Police say the victims are still recovering from the injuries sustained in the shooting.

There was a widely repeated critique across cable news networks that they spend too much time covering missing white children, which they are rectifying by mostly ignoring surging homicides in many American cities and obsessively covering a murder trial involving 4 white people..

...It was a very violent weekend in Durham where another young life was cut short....
“I was standing outside. I heard a couple of gunshots,” said one neighbor who didn’t want to be identified.
People who live in Durham sadly know this matter all too well. “You know regular Durham things. I know a lot of kids. I know a lot of them personally that ain’t here anymore,” he said.
“It’s sad. Nobody got to die over nothing,” said another neighbor who was on the scene...
Guns are no good. Other weapons do not provide this sort of reliable damage.
It's generally believed by a lot of people that the American civilization is in decline and with that decline is going to come the end to the right to own firearms.

A City of Minneapolis vehicle was just taken at gunpoint near 39th St W & Sheridan Ave S. It is white with a "City of Minneapolis" decal on the door. Two suspects fled westbound.

Despite posting anti-gun stuff here on Dagblog for well on ten years, I briefly got an NRA membership (I since have not renewed it) a few years ago.
Why? I'll tell you why and it will clue in to one big barrier to gun control.
If you look at the NRA store, you will find that they provide a lot of gear for security officers. I went through multiple security belts before I finally gave in and ordered one from the NRA store. Membership was required to be able to buy a high quality one for only $12 so I did it.
Being a security guard got to be way too much for me after doing it during the George Floyd / Black Lives Matter riots and Covid and I quit it and the NRA, never to look back.
What I learned from closely watching this kind of news for while: there's so many who think they are competent using a handgun until they aren't! Police included. Actually, truth be told, the crazy folks who end up mass murdering with the automatic rifles built for that purpose seem at least to have some control over their weapons! They're basically "hunting", it's just humans that are the prey. More and more seems to me handguns are far more dangerous overall just because no one takes them seriously (they're not as symbolically frightening as a big monster machine substitute for a penis.) And it's clear to me even though I've never used one, that physically and neurologically, they are way harder to control. (Thinking of the Barney Fife character now, his hand and arm shaking as he aims his gun, his face broken out in sweat, probably peeing in his pants...)

Four people were shot inside a corner deli in Harlem Monday night, police said.
The shooting occurred at the shop on the corner of West 141st Street and Lenox Avenue. Investigators at the scene afterward were searching for shell casings as other officers inside the deli could be seen watching surveillance video of what transpired.
An outdoor camera showed several people suddenly tumbling out of the bodega's front door, with one of them falling down the stairs. A few seconds later, someone in a dark hooded sweatshirt appeared to be limping while leaving the store. That individual was then helped by others getting into a white sedan parked out front.
A worker at a nearby store said people ran into his shop for safety as the gunfire broke out, with around half a dozen or so shots fired.
Investigators said that four men, each of whom is in their 20s, were shot. The group was discovered three blocks away from the scene, after police pulled over the white Nissan seen leaving the shooting.
All four men shot were taken to nearby hospitals, at least one in an ambulance, but are expected to survive. Police have not yet released any information regarding potential suspects. An investigation is ongoing.

Until the left stops playing politics with black lives when it comes to gun violences then the discussion will definitely take place. Police are not the enemy of black communities but politics is. We need to wake up.
Politics table is the big boys table where these discussion takes and decide what actions to take. It's either between left or right that needs to stop these games and take action.
What happened to Young Dolph is heartbreaking fr because this exactly how it be in the hood when niggas start acquiring any success for themselves people start hating and doing shiest shit to set you up. Our own people can be our biggest enemies when they see us shine .
Rappers who come from cities like Chicago, Memphis, Detroit etc. be in a lot of danger cause them niggas really hate to see other people win . Yeah the city gonna ride for you but you’re gonna get a handful of mfs who will evil eye you as well . It’s so sad :(
& not just the niggas either the bitches be on grimy shit also. It’s just sad because our community shouldn’t be so hateful when we see one of our own winning . I hope he rest in peace
Don’t put this on “our people”. Y’all gotta stop acting like success clears up your past. Didn’t he beef w ppl in the city?? It’s tragic fasho, but don’t make it seem like some randoms niggas was just hating when you don’t even know. Bc you’re stereotyping a whole community
regardless of that it ain't like he's beefing with ritchie cunningham we're ALWAYS beefing with each other.. beefing with "our people" all the time.. gotta change that narrative

“A Chinese American teenager fatally shot by Pennsylvania State Police last year had his hands in the air when troopers opened fire, new videos reveal, prompting calls for an independent investigation.” Hall was adopted by Black/Latino & Filipina parents. https://t.co/0COcioGPQ5
all very strange, you'd have to watch a 90 min. video interaction to figure out what really went on
At one point, Hall put the gun down and smoked marijuana.The troopers talked to him for about 90 minutes.
“Come on, man. I don’t think you want to stand out here all night, right?” a trooper said on the video. “Put it down for me and walk up here. That’s all you’ve got to do.”
In the final 22 seconds before Hall was shot, he shuffled toward the troopers with the pellet gun in one hand, arms at his sides. Huddled behind their vehicles about 70 feet away, troopers again told him to drop the gun.
The video shows Hall raising his hands after a corporal fired the initial shots, which missed him. Hall first raised his hands to his sides, then above his head, holding the gun in one hand, the video shows.
“If he doesn’t drop it just take him,” a voice can be heard saying on the video.
Hall’s hands stayed above his head as the corporal and another trooper fired several more shots. Hall was struck, clutched his stomach, and fell to the ground.
While the video does not appear to show Hall pointing the gun directly at troopers before he was shot, the accounts by State Police and the DA’s office are inconsistent on this point.
The State Police’s initial press release and one of several accounts in the district attorney’s written report state that Hall pointed the gun at troopers before shots were fired. A trooper said he watched Hall “bless himself, point to his head and then pull the gun from his waistband and point it in the direction of the Troopers.” The corporal then fired the first three shots, which appeared to miss Hall, according to that account.
Another section of the report and a video released by the DA examining the shooting make no mention of Hall pointing directly at troopers or raising the gun before the first shots were fired. After the initial shots, Hall “raises the gun outward toward his side and then upwards by bending his elbow at a ninety degree angle,” that section of the report state
At the March news conference, Mancuso, the assistant district attorney, said Hall was an imminent threat from the moment he put his hand on the gun.
“Frankly, it’s a testament to the troopers that they didn’t shoot sooner,” Mancuso said.
Later he mimicked Hall pulling the gun out of his waistband and raising it in the air, and said Hall “played with it in this way and at some point kind of moved the muzzle over in the direction of the troopers then raised it upward.”
The media hired independents to watch it
Three use-of-force experts who reviewed the videos for Spotlight PA and NBC News were divided on whether the troopers were right to shoot, but all said independent reviews are superior because they increase public faith in the process.

Being a security guard got to be way too much for me after doing it during the George Floyd / Black Lives Matter riots and Covid and I quit it and the NRA, never to look back.
I posted earlier about the Byrna self defense device. I think this strategy works. There should be organizations and magazines that explore outdoor living, home security and all the realms that provide a gateway to guns without any involvement of firearms. As David Frum said, it's about convincing Americans that guns make people less safe, not more.

she also retweeted a fellow fan:

the mystery is why does she think it's only happening there?

Rap shootings have side effects, who knew?

WTF kind of reasoning is this? Do they think that Memphis rap gangs are going to go allout warfare on the streets over this, or perhaps does everyone in Memphis think it was cops who shot him while he was buying cookies? Geez

same incident with photo
real sad and sick that these guys think this is something to joke about as if it is a movie and not reality:
by artappraiser on Fri, 11/19/2021 - 4:59am
think there's no cops around on the CTA? wrong, big brother watching on the camera:
thing is: it's pretty much proven that seeing human cops standing around has a deterrent effect (just like having "dads" standing around in the high school). Certainly didn't happen here, but will humans ever start thinking of the camera the same way, as a human presence?

didn't realize that such a charge had become a thing:
by artappraiser on Fri, 11/19/2021 - 8:07pm

Chicago is way past the line.

Why? They don't trust judges and juries to use any information like that correctly?

When police lie

all very strange, you'd have to watch a 90 min. video interaction to figure out what really went on
The media hired independents to watch it

They could have dropped a net on him. This is all slow-mo crazy.

some pretty shocking stuff, I had no idea there were gangs this nasty in Bridgeport, CT and that they blatantly use social media to promote themselves:
Note he is the 8th in the case to plead guilty! Gave up on a jury trial after 1 day of jury selection!
