One of the more uncomfortable facts for liberals is how often gun murders take place in leftist strongholds like Chicago. Earlier today, MSNBC’s low-rated host Chris Hayes tried to mock “white conservative” anguish about the murders of black youth. See how that works? When there’s the smallest indication that conservatives aren’t concerned, they’re pilloried for insensitivity; but if they show any concern, they’re mocked.
Hayes’ smirking suggestion did not go unchallenged:
@chrislhayes you have your own cable show! Surely trolling is beneath you.

@chrislhayes doesn't it bother you that your ideology has failed the people of that city so completely for so long? Do you feel anything?

@chrislhayes Oh, of course, you think you have a monopoly on virtue. Nobody who disagrees with you could care about people being shot.

@chrislhayes it's cute how you believe that your white hipsterism makes you think you're down for the struggle.
