So I went O/T and posted that Gangs run Chicago.

Some of you, the true blue in the face Democrats went "Ha ha funny funny, you are full of shit!"

Order to Kill 43 Mexican Students Came from Chicago, Report Reveals

Does a mayor of Chicago or a congressional representative have that type of reach? No, but a gang leader does.

Look at France. There are reports of people with guns in Marseilles.

France could very easily lose control of that city due to liberal ass fucking immigration polices, multi-cult policies and other nonsense. Those gun bearers might not be terrorists, but they are certainly part of transnational gangs.

Those transnational gangs BTW blur the line between terrorists and gangs.

The difference between whether person, who is a member of gang is a terrorist? Not much. It is a calculation by the gang members of whether the environment is permissive for a takeover. Nothing else.

I am sure Mr. Lavender Pants President Macron has everything under control.
