Contradictions on urban violence

If black lives matter, why are Al Sharpton and others like him not protesting the violence in Chicago? Apparently, black people killing black people is not a worthy cause for his organization or the media.

I'm curious with all of the murders in Chicago, which flag is the root cause all of the violence? If flags and guns cause crime why put anyone in jail? They are not responsible.

Chicago having some of the strictest gun measures in the country is a leader in murders with guns. I suppose the murders are being caused by all of those FOID card and concealed carry holders.

After all, you always hear the media and political leaders wanting to take guns away from law-abiding citizens, but they never seem to say what they will do about known criminals on the streets and released from prison back to the streets.

These same leaders that want to take guns out of the hands of the people are the same ones protected by armed details. So much hypocrisy.

High taxes and high crime, Chicago leads the way.
