-- CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago's new top cop says the accessibility to firearms in America is an extension of "government-sponsored racism" that goes back to the days of slavery and Jim Crow.Oh my gawd, you moron... let me count the the ways...
McCarthy illustrated his point by recalling a crime scene investigation while he was a police official in Newark, New Jersey where five children were shot, two of whom were killed. McCarthy said when he got home, he turned on his television to unwind and found an episode of "Sarah Palin's Alaska" showing.
"She was caribou hunting and talking about the right to bear arms. Why wasn't she at the crime scene with me?"
a) Sarah Palin lives thousands of miles away from Newark, NJ.
b) She's not a police officer.
c) Hunting caribou has nothing to do with child homicide.
I could go on... but what would be the point? This guy sounds like one of the dumbasses who danced in the street when O.J. got set free.
No wonder Chicago is a war zone.
