Gutfeld on the bloody 4th
Lawlessness creates victims on all sides
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}As statues fall to the woke joy of the media, what about real people?
When they fall, does the media make a sound?
In New York City over the weekend, 63 people were shot.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Shootings are up 200 percent. In Chicago, 75 were shot, 14 killed.
Some including kids.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}You can’t pin it on a cop, so what's the media to do? Gossip about another Trump bio?
Here's Atlanta's mayor, on the mayhem.
You can't blame this on the police officer. You can’t say that this is about criminal justice reform // we're doing each other more harm than any police officer on this force.// you shot and killed a baby// if you want people to take us seriously, and you don’t want us to lose this movement, then we can’t lose each other in this.//
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Now, who could've predicted this?
Us -- along with most Americans -- not counting CNN or the New York Times.

We must return to our senses. Our senses tell us, law and order saves lives while the anarchy imposed by the left takes them.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The media knows this, but they can't let it thwart their own story.
Their sin of identity politics -- to collate only by race -- means they cannot condemn bad people who might not be white -- while condemning all white people for being just that.
And this will get worse.

The left and the media will continue to profit. As those they claim to protect, will continue to suffer.
The press made this bed. But other people are dying in it.
