On Saturday afternoon, Minister Farrakhan and the men of the Nation of Islam in Chicago, took to the violent streets of Chicago on 111th and King Drive to address crime. Minister Farrakhan told the crowd he and the men of the Nation of Islam were there because
“we love you” he told the crowd. “We love you to the point where we are willing to give our lives to see peace come in the streets,” he said. He referenced the tragic deaths among children due to gun violence in Chicago, calling it an “unnatural” situation.
He referenced slavery, saying black people found a way to love each other and work together. He said we, black people, are becoming worst enemies of each other in 2012.

Chicago has the highest murder rate in the nation? I don’t believe it. We all know how murder free Chicago is with all its more-than effective gun control laws. Look at the astronomical murder rates in Virginia where law-abiding citizen can purchase nearly any type of gun in a few hours (machine guns take longer) and thousands of rounds of ammunition. And hundreds of thousands of citizens carry concealed handguns out in public. Virginia should be made a gun-free zone just like Chicago, Virginia Tech, and the Century 16 theater in Aurora, Colorado. We all know that gun-free zones save lives. Virginia should adopt the same gun control laws Chicago has. What was that body count again? Joseph L. Bass, Ed.D. http://www.abettersociety.info

Yeah but regardless of stats, we’re talking about just stopping the violence all together. I’m glad he stood up in a public square for his home town. People need to take his example and stop worrying about what’s happening with Kim K. and all those irrelevant folks. We have real issues that needs to be addressed.
