You're telling me millions of children have been shot in Chicago? Because MILLIONS of children have died during this pandemic. If you add in adults and seniors over 8 billion people have DIED from covid and it's because YOU won't get vaccinated. How many more people have to die for you to finally do your part?
Being that the entire population of earth is 8 billion, I suspect this deliberate sarcasm, but you can never be sure..
It’s crazy that we’ve almost hit 8 billion.
My dad was born in 1957 when the world population was 2.8 billion. By the time I was born in 1978 we were at 4.3 billion. Now we’ve nearly doubled the population just in my lifetime, and I’m about to turn 43 in November.

Luckily covid has brought that number down to negative 400 million.
Western society has been dragging the rest of the world along to their own detriment.
We've been feeding Africa and Asia for 70 years, and they've been fucking like r-selection animals in a food-rich environment with no natural predators.
I make no comment as to the moral status of their decisions, but ours? Reprehensible. Eventually, the pyramid scheme collapses and what they'll get is mass starvation, because the land cannot support that many people, they have no viable exports, and local farmers who might have saved some of them can't compete with free.
About two months after the gibs dry up, I suspect the death count to be in the billions. These people are completely incapable of caring for themselves due to generations of being taken care of by external forces. They're like house pets.
Even when they make it to the first world they still can't exist without unlimited gibs, despite being given absolutely every opportunity imaginable. If all of a sudden their owners are gone and they have to feed themselves, they will be able to do nothing except kill each other and then starve.
I actually advocate for shutting off the tap of subsidized food to foreign nations, especially to primitive cultures who don't also adopt modern birth control.
If you want to do something for the people there, help teach them methods of sustainable farming and in dryer climates, help with sustainable water management. Otherwise we just make problems worse for those countries in a couple decades time.
It's just Biden, someone let him off his meds again.
With Covid
Consider any reported Covid death for children as extremely suspicious and likely caused by something else. Sweden had exactly zero despite never shutting down elementary schools. So assume those were "deaths with a positive test".
Maby a handful of US children died from a combo or morbid obesity and WuFlu though.
The Anglosphere has huge problem with childhood obesity. I won't wall-of-text rant about "academics" propagating pseudoscience and fostering a "play-the-victim" mindset in regards to overeating/weight, but yeah, this isn't getting fixed untill academia crashes.
Wow, do you know if thats up to date today? (sweden kids) or was it from a while ago?
In January, I read the following article about Sweden keeping schools wide open and mask-free :
https://www.manilatimes.net/2021/01/14/opinion/columnists/topanalysis/sweden-keeps-schools-open-for-1-million-kids-no-masks-no-lockdown-no-deaths/827512/
So that was 8 months ago.
( It's possible a few children died with a recent positive test or with WuFlu as a contributing factor since then. Like few do from other infectious diseases we never thought to shut down schools for. )
can't trust those stats entirely. While I do believe the number of kids shot I don't believe that children died from covid-19. It would make more sense if it was from the vaccine if they took it.
In a country of 350 million it's not inconcievable. Heck, that many immunocompromised kids who happened to have covid at the time they died.
And fat ones, or out of shape.
Like the 600# 16-year-old who died with COVID whose story got posted here a week or two ago.
Don't give them ideas - they're already running around trying to make guns a "health issue" and want to get them banned under health laws.
Stupid - but they'll try.
As a former Chicagoan who lurks for lulz, even the Chicago subreddit is red pulling itself on “muh amazing diversity”. The crime and violence has finally spread so far into the normie zone they’re all backtracking the stupidity of woke and embracing other cultures.
It’s stupid as fuck and they’re all wagie zeroes without cars or careers, but their waking up to the narrative and fighting each other is great entertainment. It’s like jerry springer back in the day. The stupid fighting other stupids. We all win.
Chicago shootings? Another chance to link to Hey jackass!
It does slightly disagree with Fox's numbers, though I don't know how Fox is categorizing children, and Jackass's age data is only through August 19th. But, the point stands.
Under 12 years old: 2 killed, 24 wounded
Between 13 and 17 years old: 34 killed, 179 wounded.
Totals: 36 killed, 203 wounded for 239 total.
Labor Day Weekend is traditionally one of the busiest gang-banger shootout periods of the whole year. I wouldn't be surprised at all if 80 people got shot that weekend, though it would be unlikely for all of them to be under 18.
Hot weather holidays tend to go pretty terribly in crime-riddled shitholes. The part-time thugs and part-time junkies go haywire.
So should we not admit kids with gunshot wounds to the hospital either? I mean the injury was entirely preventable had their parents not had them out in a dangerous shit hole. Hundreds of kids in one city taking away precious resources from all those defenseless, sick children "with covid".
They'll say that's why we should ban guns.
Didn't they basically do that already though in Chicago [and yes, even if that is true that is what they will say :P]?
Chicago?
More like.... shiiieeeeeeeeeeecago
But the media is telling me, millions are dying from Covid, billions! Trillions even!
