1. Posobiec Is Obviously Math Challenged

First of all, nobody drove or flew 2,000+ miles to shoot anyone in Chicago, so there was no organized effort to inflame and agitate.

Second, since Chicago has 3 million people, that 39 represent one in 76,928. Yeah, still way too many, but miniscule compared to what happened in Charlottesville. The one woman who got killed represents about 8 times that number, and only 9, as if that is an "only" statement, died. That's one in 333,333 people. The rally/provocation didn't have a third of a million people there.

So, Posobiec should STFU. He clearly is incapable of understanding why the outrage exists, and can't even do the math to support that the two events are not comparable.
