(32,009 posts)A bit more than "several". Six dead and 41 shot over the weekend. http://homicides.suntimes.com/2013/06/17/6-dead-41-shot-in-weekend-violence/

(59,503 posts)I don't think she could have said much more as she likely does not know the background eyc (nor do I). There is the additional problem that Emmanuel is a Clinton guy.
For the record, I am not a HRC supporter - but I think this unfair.

(45,319 posts)much forgiveness has been extended to him. I still remember Al on TV calling someone a 'Faggot punk' years ago, Morton Downey Show.
I think Al needs to address his bigoted ass slur shouting self enriching past prior to making shit up to fling at others.
I had to stop watching his show, hard to forget the hate that he used to promote, the language he used to use and now he preaches and preens as if he's flawless, cashing millions of dollars a year without doing anything to make up for his past actions. I expected him to make amends, he has not.
I could post a clip of it, but I won't. If he keeps this up, I'll plaster his slur shouting past all over the internet.
