Hinderaker just a day ago breathlessly predicted the arrival of Armageddon for Chicago, after some youth unrest that led to two deaths and 15 arrests. These crimes are deplorable, to be certain — but they do not only occur solely (or even mostly) in blue states.
So, Hinderaker (no surprise there!) is and was wrong — tragic though it was.
See, it turns out that… on that very same evening, at a teen age birthday party in rural Alabama, as a state firmly in GOP control, AT A BIRTHDAY PARTY(!) four kids were killed and over 22 injured — in a mass shooting (a result of an earlier fist-fight among party attendees).
Not a peep from John. [In a state that “boasts” the lowest educational attainment in the nation, and nearly the worst health care for young mothers… nationwide, with LOTS of gun violence — but that is NO Armageddon to John — because the GOP holds a majority there.] So… not a peep.
Why? Because his faux-narrative doesn’t fit those facts.
Gun violence is the issue — and the easy availability of weapons of war. It is no more the Democratic new mayor’s fault in Chicago that the few kids shot each other near Millennium Park than it is the mayor and governor’s fault in Alabama.
But it is no less, either there.
Damn Hinderaker.
Grow up.
