Andrea Mitchell Can't Make a Silk Purse Out of a Sow's Ear and Surely Can't Convince Us Washington Is a Safe City

 

“Take me out the ball game, buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks”
But hope to our car parked outside the National’s Park we don’t get shot going back
It is a sad state of affairs that going to watch our national pastime
We are lucky if we manage to escape in Blue run cities the rising wave of violent crime
On Saturday in a game between the Nationals and the Padres the game was delayed
Not because of rain the normal cause but shots being fired trying to targets slay
3 people shot outside the Park
Grace of God none hit a fatal mark
When shootings ended and the ambulances arrived to take 3 victims for medical care
The game was suspended and started again on Sunday but the shootings are now common not rare
102 victims have had their lives lost
When will residents of Blue run cities no longer accept the cost?
Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC a staunch Blue interviewing Blue Mayor Bowser was in a tough spot
Wanted to convey that Washington, D.C. is a beautiful city and a great safe place to live
But had a hard time with the soaring murder and shooting rates that are impossible to hide or forgive
As police demoralized by “Defund the Police”, handcuff the police and disrespect the police are fleeing like lemmings over a cliff
As city after Blue run city are in an escalating deadly violent drift
And the only response of the black on black shootings is mute
Since it is not a cop who is the one who shoots
And the cry to from law abiding citizens remove their guns
Time for black voters to Blue office holders in next election shun
