J. CHRISTIAN ADAMS: Dick Durbin’s Senate Gun Trial to Feature Ghost of Trayvon Martin. “When was his hearing to examine Chicago gun laws and their impact on the 500 homicide victims and families in 2012 alone? Race played a prominent role in the media coverage (or mis-coverage) following Trayvon Martin’s death. Why aren’t hundreds of dead black children in Chicago worth the same amount of attention given to a single black teenager in Florida? We know the reason. Calling attention to the cesspool of Chicago will draw too much inconvenient attention to too many failed ideas and Democrat policies.”

Chicago’s high murder rate is because of gangs. And the gangs are in bed with the Chicago machine.
