According to GunViolenceArchive.org, Chicago is not even in the top 15 most violent cities over the past 72 hours. 3 killed in Dallas, 2 in Montgomery Alabama w/14 injuries, 2 in Angleton TX... maybe Gov. Abbot should deploy his Natl Guard in his own state. More have killed there in the last 3 days.

this is the "merit" two-step. first, you strongly imply or state outright that the presence of anyone who isn't a straight, able-bodied white man is unfair "DEI," then you argue that just because an institution is all-male and lily-white doesn't mean there is discrimination. that's just merit!
