# 2014 Great Lake Homicides : 896

Together, these 5 cities on the Great Lakes summed 896 homicides in 2014 per FBI. The red marker is Gary, Indiana:
Lake County Sheriff John Buncich attributed the violence to gangs fighting over drug customers, some coming in from out of town, mostly to buy marijuana. He said gangs sometimes spin off and form smaller factions, battling within just a few blocks and complicating police work.
"The weaponry they are using is ridiculous," Buncich said. "The amount of firepower is ridiculous."
Gary guns also show up at 19% of Chicago murder scenes. 

Presumably, Chicago traders acquire Gary, Indiana guns for Sinaloa drugs and/or proceeds from the same?

Television Cities

Who cares about dead-ass white Gary Webb from Ohio besides Maxine Waters - "the face of the Democrat Party" - from Los Angeles? Before Waters led Congressional investigation of the war criminals that robbed Deutsche Bank, she wrote the 1998 foreword to "Dark Alliance", Webb's book covering Iran-Contra and the war that leveled LA communities in the 1980s. In the present, Waters faces political challenge by proxy in the friendly face of Omar Navarro. As Election 2020 plays out across screens, the most important battleground is your state of mind. And there is a good chance that territory is virtually rubble. The Stalingrad of the Fake News War is itself fake. Television City was a Trump real estate project for NBC that popular opinion concluded failed in 1987. With hindsight, The Apprentice produced The President and the images that monopolize your memory. The war for what you remember is over the air waves and between two Television Cities: Hollywood and Manhatta...

Animals

please don't come around these parts, to tell me that we're all a bunch of animals Anderson Paak re: Baltimore Cheap life in the Mexican-American drug war is " carne asada ". This is a story about us. About animals in America. Jennifer Hudson (b Chicago, Illinois 1981) in W Magazine ( citation ): We’re acting like animals. It’s unfortunate that things are this way, but it’s not going to change unless we do something about it. Even in filming the movie, there were times where more and more incidents kept happening. And Spike kept writing it into the movie. Those who don’t get it, it’s like, how don’t you get it when this is what the issue is? And if you do have a problem with it, have a solution to come along with it. What plan do you have? How do you not try? And what are we supposed to do—just kill each other? Michele Leonhart (b Fargo, North Datoka 1956) in Washington Post ( citation ): U.S. and Mexican officials say the grotesque violence is a ...
