It is likely that Muslim on Muslim terrorism is largely ignored by the MSM - like the huge suicide bomb in Kabul last week. When it happens here, or in Europe, we generally see more reportage.

The Chicago stuff is probably largely drug/gang-related and, as you say, in a limited area. Still, the Chicago toll is cited practically every time there is a discussion of terrorist activity, in an effort by the Left, to damp down any enthusiasm for actually doing something substantial about it.:nod:

Maybe something substantial should be done about both issues, and also terrorist incidents like the one in Portland last week.

Bloomberg? Where does he come in?

Bloomberg will probably be the democratic candidate running against Trump in 2020 and he will probably defeat him.

Assuming that Bloomberg is still alive in 2020 :sneaky:

That's ridiculous, he was born in February 1942. He'd be way too old. I agree we need a New Yorker to do the job. Cuomo.

And Trump is not too old and Regan was not too old?

No, it's not, that would be unacceptable to most UK residents. Anyway, from the first call to police to all 3 perpetrators dead was 8 minutes. Not sure how that response time could be improved significantly, it would usually take that length of time for your average bobby to get to a call.

Yes, they were too old, but Bloomberg would be even older in 2020, I believe. I think there must be something fundamentally wrong in presidential candidate availability that we keep selecting people over retirement age. Ideally people would be in the 45 to 60 age range, with (dare I say it) solid experience in congress or state government behind them.
