Chip Bok for May 31, 2023

As a black man and target of said advisery: Give me Chiraq over America’s Wa*g every time.

Did Bok draw this one before or after the Memorial Day Massacre on Hollywood Beach?

Lot of press on the boardwalk shooting while at the same time 11 dead and 53 shot in Chicago over the weekend.

But since most were inner city blacks, it’s not newsworthy to the MSM.

“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis proudly championed a $13.5 million police relocation program — and according to a new report, it led to the state hiring a handful of police officers with violent records.” __ yahoo

Not a massacre. It was bystander casualties caused by gang violence.

You can be shot almost anywhere in the United States. Too may guns. No other modern government has this probem

The NAACP is a puppet for the Democratic Party. The Memorial Day weekend in Chicago had 53 shot, 11 murdered. The majority of shooting victims are black. Typical weekend there, but no travel advisory for Chicago. Why? That’s easy.

The Republican mantra of whataboutism doesn’t lessen the danger Florida represents to America.

RIIGJT WING synagogue murderer on trial today.

Avoid both the City of Chicago and the entire State of Florida; plenty of other places to visit in this great nation of ours.

Based on stats, the GOPers should be using Memphis as their exemplar of a violent crime city – indeed, Chicago doesn’t even make the top ten (Forbes. Feb 2022), but Memphis doesn’t have the same red meat quality as saying Chicago.

Baloney. Chicago doesn’t even rank in the top 20 of the most dangerous US cities.

Good one! From Mike Lester’s cartoon a few days ago, and reprinted with permission:

mlester101 CREATOR FLORIDA FUN FACTS: Florida has moved to the number one spot in the United States for black-owned businesses and number two for Hispanic and number two for women-owned businesses. -Black unemployment in Florida stood at 3.8 percent by the end of 2022, far lower than the national average of 6.1 percent, or California’s of 7.5 percent. -Florida has one of the largest black populations in the country—it has grown from 1.9 million to 3.2 million in the last 30 years. -I don’t blame the guy for telling blacks to stay out of Florida. He’s not stupid.

Hollywood Beach

Nebulous: I’m not even going to Google that; Were MORE massacred on Hollywood Beach than die EVERY week in Chicago shootouts?

No law! No town!

Maybe we need some restrictions on guns.

Where would political commentary be without false equivalence and people lacking the intelligence to recognize it?

Aaahhhh,the one-year-old probably voted for Biden anyway

Police in Hollywood, Florida, launched a search Tuesday for three.. gunmen who opened fire along a crowded beachside promenade on Memorial Day, wounding nine people and sending others frantically running for cover. Two people involved in an altercation that led to the shooting have been arrested on firearms charges, police said. Five handguns have been recovered. (AP)

Gun violence advocates celebrate every mass shooting. It makes people afraid so they will buy guns.

I’ll take my chances in Chicago over Florida any day of the week. Just because DeSatan and Bok are ignoring the rash of mass shootings and other violent crimes occurring in Florida, does not mean it’s not happening.

Well put, Mr. Bok!

Hahaha! Well done!

Bingo. How funny. PS: Florida is a big state. I hear Jacksoville is nice.

Chicago had the most murders of any city in 2020 but it’s a very big city, and the murder RATE in Chicago was 20th in the nation. No towns in Florida were deadlier, but St Petersburg clocked in at 25th and Jacksonville 27th. Deadliest cities? Memphis, New Orleans, Richmond Va, and D.C. (Do I detect a pattern?) —New York (“Fear City”) ranked 36th, just above Madison, Wisc.

The mayors of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago , Portland, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. are all Democrats. All of these cities are crime ridden and defunded the police. Surprise!! Josh Levy, the mayor of Hollywood, Florida, scene of the Memorial Day massacre, is a Democrat. Coinidence?

Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Portland, Philadelphia, New York, and Washington, DC are all crime ridden cities that defunded the police run by Democrat mayors. Surprise! Josh Levy, mayor of Hollywood, Florida, scene of the Memorial Day massacre, is also a Democrat. Coincidence?

Violent crime rate per the FBI, Illinois ranks as #20 and Florida as #27. Worst is District of Columbia at #1 followed by Alaska #2.

^Keep trying – you’ll get it spelled right, eventually. Ask your mom for help.

Buncha white people arguing about the most dangerous place for Blacks lol

But that’s an everyday occurrence inalienable areas of Chicsgo

It is very rare in Florida, look at the numbers

Perhaps Bok should consult with Payne on ’How to draw gasoline-powered vehicles…

[ The rest of his cartoon is ‘Payne-quality’ ]

@ChipBok…poor comment to like ratio, guess its because your solution to big city crime is to put an AR15 in everyone’s hands.

I think Bok has been watching too much Chicago PD

Chicago is fine this time of year. Stay & take a stroll around town & soak up the friendly culture. Such a nice place for especially any fringe group. Stay close to large groups of roving teens. That’s is where the most fun is. Enjoy!

Clue for the clueless: The NAACP issued the warning about Florida because of draconian fascist laws passed by the state legislature that are openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Whether there is a violence problem in the city of Chicago due to guns coming in from neighboring states is a typically completely irrelevant comparison from the right wing.
