This is getting to be the norm in Cleveland.

1. Yikes! The new normal is scary.

2. It's become an urban wasteland with whole neighborhoods deserted

and the city doesn't have enough money to demo the buildings.

The city shrank from 850k in the late 60's to about 395k now.

3. If only there had been a gun blizzard, this never would have happened.

4. This is President Obama's fault.

If he had not been elected, right wing demagogues would not have been forced to tell everyone that Obama was coming for their guns, and then people frightened of that scary dark dude in the White House would not have felt compelled by a desire to defend their second amendment rights to buy guns at record levels. They would not have felt that the only way to keep themselves safe was to walk around armed like a gunfighter in a Clint Eastwood movie, and they would not have been forced to use a second amendment solution in the streets, on their wives, neighbors, children, random strangers, somebody who done somebody wrong, and Frankie would never have killed Johnnie, and that old song would never have been written by a prophet who foresaw the election of a black President.

5. Near East Side Of Cleveland...No Surprise

It's just a shitty neighborhood. This may be a spike for a single day, but violent crime in that neighborhood is very common.

6. Ohio GOPs took away Cleveland's ability to regulate firearms

...Back when Taft was governor. This was despite the objections of law enforcement and the city's churches.
