Gorka: 'Black Africans' Are Shooting Each Other 'By The Bushel' In Chicago

[DonViejo]

Former White House adviser and self-proclaimed terrorism expert Sebastian Gorka on Monday said that “black Africans” in Chicago were killing each other “by the bushel.”

In a round-table discussion on gun violence aired by WJLA — the Washington, D.C. ABC affiliate that was purchased in 2014 by the conservative Sinclair Broadcast Group — Gorka attempted to make a point about the legislative effort to ban so-called bump stocks. The gunman behind the shooting massacre in Las Vegas on Oct. 1 had several bump stocks, which mimic the firing speed of automatic weapons, in his hotel room.

“The biggest problem we have is not mass shootings, they are the anomaly,” he began. “You do not make legislation out of outliers.”

“Our big issue is black African gun crime against black Africans,” Gorka said. “It is a tragedy. Go to Chicago. Go to — the city’s run by Democrats for 40 years. Black young men are murdering each other by the bushel. This is a social issue. Allow the police to do their jobs and re-build those societies. Legislation will not save lives.

1. I would pay good money to watch that man (Gorka) be beaten with a hose.

He is the ultimate piece of shit - pontificating about things he has absolutely zero knowledge of with talking points and bullshit and trying to sound like he is reasonable when at his core he is a raging racist and a complete boil on the ass of humanity.

Aren't his 15 minutes of infamy over already?

2. This Nazi actually had a job working in the WH.

Unfuckinbelievable...

[mercuryblues]

3. Something

that happens on a near daily occurrence is not an anomaly nor an outlier.

[greatauntoftriplets]

4. "Africans"???

[lapfog_1]

6. "black Africans"

killing each other by the bushel... err... "bale full" (you know, putting in terms that people can relate to those black Africans).

5. The tiny kernel of truth in his statement is that handguns are the problem

not rifles and bump stocks. For every person killed by a rifle, ten are killed by a handgun.

But it is not a racial problem. It is one of desperately poor people. And police are not the ones that will fix it. Legislation will fix it - legislation mandating proper funding for education, healthcare and all the other elements of a robust social safety net.

7. That was not implicit in his statement

That was not implicit in his statement. Though no doubt, you inferred it as such.

[hack89]

8. You disagree with my statement?

just curious.

Btw - I think bump stocks should be banned.

9. Chicago is not even in the top ten. But it was home to Obama...

And is not located in the south...plus it has many non-whites living there...so it must be a scary war zone.

Yes. There are gun murders in the city (many of the weapons originally purchased from states with more lax gun laws). Too many murders to be sure. But By the bushel by “Black Africans”?

...and banning bump stocks was/is intended to prevent mass shootings (as in Las Vegas), not the numbers of gun related murders taking place every week in Chicago (and the rest of the US).

Gorka is (alt-)right at home on Sinclair Broadcasting.

12. They do like to bang on about Chicago, don't they?

But for some curious reason, they never, ever come up with any possible solutions or propose that more resources be used there. Baffling, just baffling.

10. I hear that they're all coming after our white women, too

Quick! Give them all preposterously long jail terms for preposterously minor drug possession offenses!

[malaise]

11. So let me see if I get this

The foreign born Gorka is more American than African-Americans who have lived in American for centuries. OK them you fucking stupid racist pig.

13. Per capita? New Orleans and St. Louis are WAY above Chicago's

"Chicago’s homicide rate over the last five years was 16.4 per 100,000 residents. In St. Louis and New Orleans, the homicide rate from 2010 to 2015 was three times as high, on average."

14. God, I hate these people!!!!

Fucking racist Nazi piece of shit!

[forgotmylogin]

15. They sure like the image of minorites crammed in a container.

Barrels, bushels.

That must be an idiom in his native Nazi language.
