From Chief of Staff for Barack Obama to Major in Chicago. Rham Emanuel is good for the food fight with his Republican opponents but a failure has a Major of one of the most deadliest cities in US .

So hows that Gun Control working out for you Chicago ? Rahm.....Rahm?

Bueller............Bueller.......................???

Slow meaning there was a a cut in welfare checks so they could get less bullets ?

Please allow me to un-"pizzle" you... (ok.. I realize you just fat fingered it as the I and U are right next to each other.)

And to be quite honest, as long as it's gang banger street thug low life scumbags killing each other, I have no problem with it. It saves the taxpayer the time and expense of capture, trial and incarceration after the fact.

I DON'T wish for more, I actually wish they would learn civility and the sanctity of life, but I will not hold my breath waiting for that miracle to occur.

And XDm9mm doesn't mean "gun". It is the model of a particular firearm. And I have the flag and eagle as an avatar as I fervently support both, and I am not ashamed of letting others know that.

Also, I don't hate. I just have no sympathy for two legged animals that prey on other people.

This is fantastic As long as the FUD community is running things, we will have a "War on Guns" which doesn't make sense. The effort to demonize a tool instead of the persons misusing that tool will always be a failure. Let's have "Gunner Control." Of course, self control is needed, but that requires a set of moral standards that have been washed away with the Godless society. No rules ... no safety ... no peace.

Anyway, as long as people stick to political correctness and refuse to face reality (not the so-called reality of TV, BTW) we live the fantasy life of a no-action-is-condemned world of what is now called "the left." Oh, and be sure to disarm those who want laws enforced and demean them into being the "bad" guys. The Roman Republic fell (after hundreds of years) when politicians promised more and more to the masses than they actually had to give. We are simply repeating that dangerous process in 21st century America. (Are you listening Joe Biden? 21st Cenury!) Goodbye, America as we knew it, it was a good try, but greed has had its day and the next big thing will take over. Unhappily, it looks like it will be Islam. Kiss your head goodbye.

New Orleans another Democrat deadly compound where welfare check's are used to buy drug and guns.

They will vote for Obama too, make sure Republicans do not reduce their "benefit"

We blow close to a trillion of dollars a year on national defense while so many people in our cities are defenseless...

Good thing Chicago has strict gun control laws, or there would be lots of gun violence. Oh, wait, Chicago DOES have strict laws.

Hmmmm!

Chicago is a war zone. As the violence and chaos escalates it's obvious more drastic measures are necessary.

When statistics show these staggering increases in homicides,,,

The Chicago Police Department is trying to deal with a 28-percent spike in the city's homicide total in 2012 compared to the same period last year.

,,,and Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy explains it this way,,,

"We're not winning, we're not losing. We're basically treading water,"

Call me skeptical but there seems to be a disconnect between reality and wishful thinking.

It's obvious that more experienced leadership is needed. I recommend we send the only person qualified to deal with this level of community discord.

Barrack Hussein Obama!

His experience is second to none in this category. He obviously is totally unqualified in his current role pretending to be President, so let’s unleash that community organizing ferocity he is legendary for. His leadership, combined with Rahm Emanuels exemplary record can only be seen as the dynamic duo.

Barrack Hussein can lead from behind and Rahm can push forward his economic policy of selectively choosing which chicken franchises should be allowed in Chicago.

Obama/Emanuel 2013 for a better Chicago

For the record, Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. No one has guns in Chicago, repeat no one has guns in Chicago except for the authorities.

Clearly this is a prime example of the success achieved with Chicago politics and overwhelming gun laws. A pristine city with no problems to speak of.

As a resident of Illinois, I find Chicago embarassing. It's both the seat of Illinois corruption, with it's associated moral decay, and the seat of violence. For all us downstaters, let's get together a petition to seperate northern Illinois into it's own state. I-80 could be the DMZ. Then we could rid ourselves of the financial and moral drain that is Chicago.

Kornfed, you really ought to cite Malcom X when you use that "coming home to roost" phrase.

At some point in our distant future maybe one or two politicians might actually have the courage to start an honest public conversation about the financial and spiritual disasters that have followed the unrestrained levels of babies being born to teenage high school dropouts. Or...maybe we all should keep our mouths shut, grit our teeth and do what we keep being told to do...learn to appreciate the wonderful 'diversity' of America, no matter what it costs us and no matter how many die.

New Haven, Connecticut...2011...population of just over 100,000 and 34 murders in the inner city.

Divide that by ten...if a small town of 10,000 to 11,000 was having 3 to 4 people gunned down on Main Street every year, the residents would be at every public meeting screaming for something to be done about it.

This kind of body count is just the norm for Chicago, the only detail that changes is the number of wounded or dead. Since the residents of the affected area (south Chicago) don't seem to mind their children being slaughtered in the streets and demonstrate this by refusing to tell authorities of what they have seen or heard, they essentially are protecting the murderers. Maybe the answer is to block most access in and out of those neighborhoods with armed checkpoints and just let them fight it out in there. Sooner rather than later at the rate they are racking up their body count, they will run out of families to destroy and people to murder

Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum

I guess you got confuse with my avatar , how you got the idea who I am , take some time and read all my comments, I 'll forgive you this time only because we are fighting on the same side. But don't be so quick to judge others.

@Joe F Las Vegas.......What's the matter Joe? Just because you lefties can't do anything right with your f-up a$$ backward way of governing, that gives you the right to come down on the right with your infantile name calling? Can't stand it when you're wrong? What a sore loser you are Joe

Where the hell is Bev and Fiesty? Is this not the product of Obama and his democratic party? Should not they be proud of what the Democrats have accomplished with helping minorities? Now they want this for all of the country? Idiots!

What's ironic is that Rahm Emanuel (former Chief of Staff for BO), mayor of Chicago has been blaming his predecessor for all the shooting in Chicago this year! Sound familiar? You just can't make this stuff up!

geo-1957883

Where the hell is Bev and Fiesty?

He is in Tampa . leading the protest with the OWS mob.

I wonder how many of the guns used in Chicago this weekend were legally purchased and licensed.

"We're not winning, we're not losing. We're basically treading water," McCarthy said on Saturday

So what does this guy consider to be losing? Wtf?

It's hilarious how some comments go right back to personal political gain. It's the guns! It's the president! It's my balls! If it's the gangs..130 convicted drug felons. What the hack happened to rehabilitation? These aren't murderers.. Why can't they get a job!!!! This is evidently the result of a bias economy.

Is this the Chicago values that Rahm espoused? It is probably time for those fine citizens of Chicago to stand up and be counted.

Marty...

It's even worse than that....in my Connecticut newspaper this morning there's an article about a Hartford man who survived a few gunshots and was in the hospital after being found gunned down on the sidewalk. The article stated that even HE was refusing to cooperate with authorities ! Imagine someone shooting you and you refuse to cooperate with the police to find the person who pumped holes into your own body !!!

Geo1957883

Where the hell is Bev and Fiesty? Is this not the product of Obama and his democratic party? Should not they be proud of what the Democrats have accomplished with helping minorities? Now they want this for all of the country? Idiots!

@Geo1957883.......They are on the road with Al and Jesse.

Let me understand.....There would be LESS gun violence in Chicago if more people had legally purchased firearms?

Just another prime example of the "It's not their fault, They had a crumby childhood, We need to give them more so they will act out less" spineless, vote pandering, economic slavery style of Democratic governance. What needs to happen is a bunch of Humvee's going through these neighborhoods hosing these little angles down with M-2 machine guns. But hey, call me rash.

We not only have the home grown drug peddling, pimping, random shooting little darlings now, we have foreign gangs controlling sections of cities too. But, hey, "it's not their fault, there just misunderstood. Only the left can't see their meaning, those of us not brainwashed and with a little common sense see it pretty clearly.

So lefties, continue to coddle your criminals, hell, why not, it's your social programs that created the breeding ground for them to start with. Go ahead, make excuses and take peoples means of defending themselves from your creations, meanwhile a lot of good people in Chicago and elsewhere are dying. You should be so very proud.

And where is AL and JESSIE on this. they kill each other left and right, its ok. but have one killed by a none black, and all hell breaks loose, these people are IDIOTS. Nuke the city, They are sub human...

There is little hope of any meaningful change in these liberal "gun free" war zones. The liberal way is simply not working but, being liberals, they continue to push on with their failed policies.

Tony,

About 7 months ago a family from south Chicago moved into my neighborhood. A month later, after one of my neighbors had refused to take the 17 year old son to the store and buy beer for him, there was a driveby shooting on her house that very night. Coincidence? I have lived in my house for 16 years and we've never had any type of shooting here. Every neighbor came out and told the police what they saw and heard and the culprits were caught within 30 minutes. Care to speculate on who it turned out to be? You would be right. A few days later the family moved out yelling our neighborhood wasn't "friendly".

This just goes to show that keeping guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens with gun control laws does absolutely nothing to curtail gun violence. Like the saying goes, when you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns. Criminals will get their hands on guns whether they are legal or not. Keeping law abiding citizens from owning guns only serves to prevent them from being able to protect themselves from the criminals.

To read some of these posters, you would have to believe these gangs were just formed under the Obama administration and all the killings are being done by illegal immigrants. It just goes to show just how ignorant these republican supporters are and just how blatantly they lie. This crap has been going on since even before the capone years. What needs to be done is these so called gang killings need to be classified as terrorist attacks on their communities and the gang names revealed and dealt with by the respective states National Guardsmen and just like we do with other terrorist organisations we hunt in other countries, go after all the members of the gang instead of just trying to get the name of the one. You ride in a car with four other people and they stop and commit a crime, you are just as guilty as those four and prosecuted just the same. That rule should apply to all members of a gang instead of just the one.

These gang members are not politically affiliated with either of the political parties period. They are terrorists pure and simple.

Hey Ecoman;

There is evidence to support guns in the hands of law abiding citizens reduces crime. Check the numbers for yourself. Concealed carry states have much lower street crime rates than Chicago, D.C., Detroit, NY, LA.

It seems criminals are less likely to do stupid stuff if the possibility of getting shot is a real threat to them. Criminals are cowards and love it when they are the only one with the guns.

People who like gangs and guns pretty much deserve what they get. Why try and stop it? Let nature take care of it.

I fail to see where being armed is going to do anything in these drive by situations. The majority of these people being killed wouldn't have time to draw and fire to begin with and for all you know, the majority of them could have already been armed themselves but did not draw for the shootout so are being classified as unarmed.

People who like gangs and guns pretty much deserve what they get. Why try and stop it? Let nature take care of it.

Because nature doesn't take care of them and like the disease they are, they grow and spread in numbers to bigger areas and other neighborhoods they call territories and in turn they spread to other kids they force to join or they simply kill them as a form of initiation for other 10 and 12 year olds into their gangs.

no gun in Chicago,yea! only the knuckle dragging gangsters have guns! the voters need to vote the right wing liberals out. so far there is no crime on my block(las Vegas) yes i own a gun too! i believe our second amendment does need to be protected. the guns do not kill people,its the lunatics behind the guns. now,if states and federal goverment enforce the laws on books we would not have this kind of terror! outlawing guns are not the problem solver here. people in chicago needs to rethink this idea.

What the HELL??? Is Chicago turning into Aleppo, or Chuidad Juarez? Did the Mexican cartels move to Chicago??? What's going on there, what started this current spate of killings??? JEEZ, soon there will be Chicago refugees heading South to escape the violence! Maybe they should call out the National Guard for the weekends; I don't know WHAT but they need to do something MORE. "Treading water" isn't good enough!

So 9 dead, and 28 wounded is the norm for Chicago according to the Chicago Police Supt.? I call that loosing, but hey that's just me.

Chicago is just a few years behind Detroit. The end is near for that POS city!

Hey Rahm-in-Noodle for brain--...those criminals are NOT listening to you , huh?? !! WHO'D Thunk-it!!??

'Don't shoot the children'....that sounded like a real winner of an idea!

fiesty is locked-up in Col. for the Batman shooting!! Guns provided by Holder!!

Maybe Obooboo can save it . . . .NOT!

Barry...... Chicago needs you........ tell them you'll be home in January

When martial law is declared Chicago and Detroit well be some of the first places with the military patroling theyre streets.

Mike

Getting drive by shootings will be difficult because the culture that has been cultivated for years. i\It is a culture of failure, and because of the failure, a disrespect for authority.

Worse yet the people who find their way to leadership promote the same failing concepts.

1) Life isn't fair because others have cheated you.

2) If you put me in, I will make certain you get something from these cheaters.

"where there is no hope, people lose restraint."

False hope is like a short light rain in a drought. It is refreshing for the moment, but after that moment the reality of the drought returns.

Clearly, the nation's toughest gun control laws are working well in Chicago. The people who don't care about the law (i.e. crooks and hoodlums) have guns, while the citizens are left unable to protect themselves. If you were a bad guy, would you rather be in Chicago where only your fellow bad guys have guns or Texas, where everybody has em?

Chicago is proof of the latent racism of liberal democrats. The projects were built to "keep the blacks in their place". The projects have been torn down, but the black ghetto remains. As long as they keep downtown and the lakefront safe for tourists and suburban commuters, no one really cares how many blacks kill each other.

The Chicago black out of wedlock birthrate is 84%. 50% of Chicago youths do not graduate high school. Unemployment in these parts of town exceeds 40%.

What did Obama accomplish when he was organizing in Chicago? Nothing.

And blacks foolishly keep voting democratic to keep the welfare checks rolling in.

It's funny. After all these decades of these gangs violent activites, they still aren't being addressed and they occur more and more in other states year after year. These gangs aren't politically motivated. They aren't fighting and killing to get at the next food stamp allotments or welfare checks. They are what prevents businesses from wanting to develop in those communities and keep people on the welfare train. They need to be recognized for what they are, terrorist organisations, and dealt with just the same way we deal with terrorist organisations in other countries we are fighting them in. The National Guards are in each state to protect their communities from all terrorists foreign and domestic. It is well past time to use them against the domestic terrorists. These rapidly growing gangs. No exceptions and use the courts to prosecute them as terrorists as well.

IS it Chicago ? Or is it the southside of Chicago ? Isn't most of this violence taking place in 5 or 6 police districts out of the 23. Aren't there some of these districts as peaceful as a farm village downstate ? So it's certain people and not everyone in Chicago doing this. 2.7 million in chicago. 35 per weekend is 1,800 per year. or .00067 of the population. It's horrible if kids selling candy at 10 PM on their front portch are victims. But if the gangs are killing each other off, maybe we should let em go for awhile.

WHERE ARE AL AND JESSE? This is their area of expertise isnt it? Oh wait maybe they only care when a mixed race individual they can label WHITE shoots a BLACK. IMMEDIATE MARCHES AND CALL TO ACTION ! T shirts with slogans and fliers posted everywhere Justice for Chicago innocents. Most of these people were minding their own business not bothering anyone. We read it everyday, Dad in van with familt shot, Mom walking down street shot, child on sidewalk shot. AL! JESSE! Get to work and stop this INSANITY!

hahaha! chicago gun control at its finest !!!!! the libturds can't even shoot & control there shots

Why do these idiots keep sayimng it's the liberals fault that these gang bangers are running the city ? The liberals aren't the ones who are stopping any jobs act., or keeping our leaders from creating any new jobs, it's the lazy ones who don't care about family or country they usualy have no political party or waste their time voting or working these people make all citizens of Chicago look bad , why don't you clean up your own mess !? You can create a ghetto or a neighborhood it's your home do with it as you please ..but don't whine when the thugs start shooting and you turn your head again ! It's your fault deal with it and stop blaming others !! Damn whining conservatives !!

Kuhao & Mo....

Where are Al & Jessie, you ask ??? Well, they learned a valuable lesson from none other that ol' Bill Cosby himself. Mr. Cosby went on a much needed tour a few years ago and desparately warned people that the out-of-the-stratosphere teenage birth rate and near lack of anything resembling a 'father' was having horrific consequences for the inner city and the nation as a whole. Mr. Cosby made a lot of enemies from within the black community for his efforts and his message was criticized as being "too harsh" to be taken to heart. And civil rights hustlers like Al & Jessie refused to touch Cosby's message with a ten-foot pole.

Also...Al & Jessie are likely busy gearing up for the next Travon Martin protests !!!

E_Fail...

You cannot be serious....inner city Chicagoans are shooting each other like it's a carnival game and you want to blame it on the "1%" ???

After reading all of the posts, not once did I read antigun folks blaming gun laws nor liberals blaming republicans. But on the other hand, neither did I read progun or republicans acknowledging the problem and offering a solution to the problem. Like JohnM said, these gangs are not politically motivated. They do not care about gun laws. They were not created by either party nor do they vote. They are gang terrorists and the majority of them do not just control neighborhoods, they actually grow and move leaders to other states and neighborhoods to take over and reign through terrorization activities as well. They target young children into their gangs to commit the most violent of the crimes realizing the kid and not the gang will be prosecuted if caught leaving little threat to their gangs.

These gangs need to be addressed by state authorities as well as homeland security as domestic terrorist organisations and dealt with by the use of our state militias. Clean the neighborhoods and businesses will once again want to move in and support these cities with jobs and the welfare needs will go down as well. A win - win all the way around.

When victims are to afraid to tell who their shooters are in fear of being shot again, there is a real domestic problem and it is not politically motivated.

Reports: Chicago shootings leave 9 dead, 28 wounded since Friday night

You guys are failing to look at the bright side of this................at least they can't shoot very well they only killed 9 out of 37 shot.

Where's our buddy Rahm? Why isn't his face out front here?

one killed in Florida and you have every black person off their couch, 37 shot and 9 dead, The Idiots wont say a word. This clearly show most have little or no brains about the BIG problem of blacks being killed. SAD but I really dont see them trying so hard to fix this. WHY?

"guns don't Kill people"

"People kill people"

"Corporations are People, my friend"

How the hell do idiots find a way to blame obama for something he didn't do? Is it just a way for you dumb @!$%#s to feel smart or just to be heard? It's sad to see people were killed but don't throw the blame so far out of the game just to make yourselves feel smart. On the other hand what does their mayor consider losing Because I really don't want to see it.

Good thing they have strict gun laws.. Criminals should be the only ones to get guns..

Need to hand out bulletproof vests with the welfare checks..

seems its safer in Afghanistan than Chicago. That's sad!

I found that funny duane.

PEOPLE, this is the culture of violence, racism, and self-hatred that America has created all over this country. When America DEVALUED the lives of people of color hundreds of years ago, it make s it easy for SOME whites to say, "Let them animals kill each other" with with no compassion for their fellow American Citizens. But when white children shoot up schools, theaters, their families we all come together and mourn.

The hate filled comments expressed on this thread towards NON-WHITE American citizens, to include OUR President, just proves how racially SICK we are as a Nation. There's been MASS MURDER in Chicago, and other big cities long before this President took office. But we don't care, because it's the BLACKS that are dying.But in reality, it"s America that is dying!! If this President to step in to help inner city plight, the racist's would say, WHY IS HE ONLY HELPING THE BLACK PEOPLE. When in fact WHITE presidents, have been helping white people for hundreds of years. We are truly a SICK Nation, when it come to race.

You guys are failing to look at the bright side of this................at least they can't shoot very well they only killed 9 out of 37 shot.

No one will admit to laughing at this, but everyone of us who reads it is chuckling

Duane...

You are so right...if you added up the number of every peron shot or killed in all the cities of America and compared to the number of American soldiers shot or killed overseas, it's not even close.

And if that same number of soldiers were being shot or killed every weekend, there would be protests in the street on a daily basis.

@tony-268769, "You cannot be serious....inner city Chicagoans are shooting each other like it's a carnival game and you want to blame it on the "1%" ???"

Tony, Since you have trouble with reading comprehension, I'll re-post my comment...

...it means there was an increase in GOP donations so they could get more bullets, less healthcare, NO social security, lowered minimum wage, war on women, war on the middle class, tax cuts for the 1%, destruction of Medicare, ... (for the GOP it's a fill in the blank war on America).

Here's a thought. I wonder what would happen if the hospital refused treatement if the person shot had no insurance and a gang related criminal record and then they just let him bleed out in the back somewhere? You think this would stop quick? I do.

No more going back to the hood with your little badges of badness (perceived by themselves of course)

So the article states retaliatory strikes? Does this mean we have para-military fighters roaming the streets? Or are they just gang members? Whatever! It is a problem for Homeland security or the military to come in there and do a sweep with intel on file. Use the patriot act; isn't that what it is for?

mack...

While the inner city murder rate has absolutely nothing to do with anything done by our current president, in my opinion he did fall short regarding the violence problem in the inner city that is purely a function of the out of control masses of fatherless children born to teenage high school dropouts...perpetuating a horrid cycle that grows worse by the day.

Mr. Obama would have been the first national politician to whom some would have listened to on this problem and yes....that is due to the function of his race. He basically has ignored a situation that I as a non-fan of his would say he may have had an impact on had he began an open and honest conversation years ago. He chose not to do so.

It would have not done any good had the "WHITE presidents" you hold scorn for had something to say. They would have been derided in the press and in the black community for daring to speak on these problems, just as Bill Cosby was whenhe tried.

It'd be like "How dare Mitt Romney open his yap and act like he knows anything about the problems wthin the inner city ??? Why doesn't he go back to his one-percenter fancy house with his fancy bank accounts and mind his own business ???"

Former President Bush also would have been ridiculed had he tried to say something. I seem to recall it being national news for about a week after the nitwit rapper Kanye West's quote "George Bush doesn't like black people" was all over every magazine, newspaper, and TV news show. Al & Jesse would have been royally offended had Mr. Bush even tiptoed near the topic.

President Obama would have at least had a shot at reaching the ears and minds of those who really need to listen to what he potentially would have had to say. To me, it is shame that he ignored the opportunity to startsomething that may have helped...or at least he could have given it a shot.

E_Fail...

Thanks for your help...I'll try studying a bit harder in the future so I don't have to be insulted by you...maybe you can send out a 'Reading With Comprehension' primer to me before you post another thought ! Gee...it'd be a big help to me and possibly others too !

McCarthy is an idiot. "Anyone with an FOP card can go in and buy 10 9mm's walk out and give them to whomever they please" Moron, under Federal law that's a "straw buy" and good for 10 years in Club Fed. So chief, your what?, issuing FOP cards to criminals or are you trying to say everyone who has one will do this? As for the gun bought in 1972, I'm willing to bet it was reported stolen, but in usual cop shop fashion, you can't find the report. It's odd you knew when it was purchased and by whom but could not find the stolen property report. Could it be it was recovered by your department, taken home by one of your officers as a "throw down" and lost? Nah, police corruption never happens in Chi town. The Feds have it all wrong. Your kinda the pot calling the kettle black, aren't you?

"We're not winning, we're not losing. We're basically treading water," McCarthy said on Saturday

So what does this guy consider to be losing? Wtf?

When other people are getting shot it's treading water.............if he get's shot it's losing.

Do the residents offer any assistance to the police? Who is their enemy, the good guys, or the bad guys. Is there a difference? Never been to chicago.

It looks like Chicago needs a new mayor. Too bad Rahm is more focused on stopping Chick-Fil-A than he is in handling gang bangers.

Of course, what this really proves is the absolute danger of Chicago politics where their voters think they are smarter than everyone else. Then they elect incompetents and crooks like Rahm and Blago. Of course, Obama is a Chicago product as well.

It would seem that the Mayor and Govenor should change the minds and let the honest people keep there guns and take the guns away from the dishonest people. Might work better all around.

Nicodemusi, What's a FOP card? You mean FOID, you don't even know what the hell you're talking about. The suburban gun shops around Chicago have taken a lot of heat for years. The problem is straw buyers, but that problem is caused more by ATF cut backs in staff. They need to make the law against convicted straw buyers that would include being accessory to the crime the gun was used in. The local shops won't sell a gun if 2 people come in and only 1 has a foid card. They are limited to how they can scrutinize but they do an over the top job. For instance the shops that reject buyers, send images of the potential straw buyers to the other shops from their security cam. So that they can be on the lookout for these people as well,plus all this info is foreworded to ATF. If say a woman comes in to purchase a hand gun for protection, she is questioned. If she says," she lives in Chicago" she has to return with a Chicago gun permit. If she cannot answer simple questions about the gun's operation she is refused the sale. A woman walking into a gun shop for protection sounds ligit but could be a potential straw buyer. Nicodemusi believe me we're both are on the same page, I do not want this situation to go on either. But, I blame the President in part for this situation on 2 counts. First, people have been purchasing firearms like never before since he took office. They believe that Obama is crazy enough to repeal the Second Amendment and the leftwing nutjobs are right behind him in Zombie fashion. Thus causing a mountain of paper work for the ATF to critique and these Straw Buyer SOB's fall through the cracks. Second, It's good enough for the President to tie up 100's of Chicago Policemen,Swat Teams at the ready,FBI and Secret Service people to secure his South Side home for a $40,000 a plate fundraiser, while stray bullets fly less than a mile from his God D&^m home! Richard J. Daley made his home in Bridgeport,a South Side Chicago area, safe! Extra police presense, cops walking beats, while any nieghborhood to the North ,East, West or South was unsafe to drive through let alone walk in. Obama's best friend is Mayor Emanuel, what the hell's he waiting for? Anyone that would allow that kind of violence in their nieghborhood with the ability to curb it should be ashamed of themselves! Community organizer my a$$! The first Lady is concerned about childrens nutrition while the mothers in Chicago are concerned that their kids heads are not blown off! Well as you Lib's say what can you expect from a 1%'ers, like the Obama family?

To solve the problem you need to figure out an incentive for the kids to stay in school, and to not join the gangs. Sending in the national guard or army isn't going to fix anything in the long run. The problem is that people in the lower income neighborhoods have more of an incentive to join a gang and/or get gov't assistance and not work than they do to finish school and get a job. By cutting off some of the gov't aid it would force them to find work, and if work isn't there to move to an area where there is work. People want to rely on the gov't instead of relying on themselves.

As for why victims don't identify the criminals, it's not too hard to figure out. If they rat people out they (or a family member or friend) will be the next fatality, and the criminals will figure out who rat them out.

@tony-268769, "maybe you can send out a 'Reading With Comprehension' primer to me before you post another thought ! Gee...it'd be a big help to me and possibly others too !"

Here you go, happy to help! Tell all your friends about it too...

There are now more gang members in Illinois per capita than any other state in America. Not once has the Chicago police ever tried getting rid of these gangs. Lawmakers have never made laws to make belonging to a gang illegal. What the hell are they waiting for?

Let's blame everything on a the guns that are legally owned.

"What do I think? I think there's nothing like vaudeville." Officer Malone (Sean Connery) to Eliott Ness (Kevin Cosner) after listening to a Chicago patrolman's report on all the Chicago police activities made in trying to "get Al Capone" in the movie, The Untouchables.

How many of these gang bangers are illegals??? Oh, yeah....we have to let them alone until they kill somebody and flee to Mexico.

When you are _willfully— ignorant it doesn't matter where you live. Mansion, double-wide, cardboard box, etc you're still willfully ignorant.

CHICAGO.........where Chick fil-A doesn't represent our values but gang banging and killing does.............way to go Rahm! His statements are making him look like a Genius............NOT.

I can see the bumper sticker now. "CHICAGO you can't get a chicken sandwich but you can get shot"

No posts after 1.94, because really nothing else needs to be said about that sh*thole (Chicago), because Gtouch said all that needed to be said.

E-FAIL...

Keep typing your wee fingers off...you think I really care if some anonymous twit feels compelled to bore me to tears trying to tell me how stupid I am ???

You need another hobby.

All these rants against the President and why isn't he doing anything are strange. What is going on in this south Chicago neighborhood isn't a national problem. What is Chicago's mayor doing about this? Making stupid statements then its on to business at as usual? If he's inept, what about Illinios' Governor? Haven't heard much about this from him. This is something IL should be dealing with on a state level. The govenor can call out the national guard (if he wants to), or bring in state police (if he wants to), or sit back and do nothing, which is what it seems he DOES want to. If the mayor isn't doing his job, remember that on city election day, and if the govenor is just an ornament to occupy the governor's mansion, remember that on election day too. The people of IL need to at least make an effort to stop the slaughter, its their city and their problem. But it seems the population of the state, the governor, and the mayor are doing the same thing the people in the neighborhood are doing, nothing.

@tony-268769, "Keep typing your wee fingers off...you think I really care if some anonymous twit feels compelled to bore me to tears trying to tell me how stupid I am ???"

Apparently, you care enough to reply. And, FWIW, I never stated or implied you were stupid. I said you seemed to be "willfully ignorant". Look up what that means if you don't want to stay that way ;)

RE, _www.en.wiktionary.org/wiki/willful_ignorance

Marty, You are right,this is a problem on the state level. You sound clearly an outsider meaning you do not live here. Maybe you should google the Presidents address ( Kenwood Ave,Hyde Park,Chicago) and then match it up with the address' of the killings from say ChicagoSunTimes.com or ChicagoTribune.com. Then you can see how close this violence is to the POTUS home. This was his community remember? He was a community organizer that sunk roots here and found and married his bride. What the f*** is he waiting for? A stray bullet tearing into one of his young daughters? This doesn't make any sense,Marty, all he's gotta do is get on Rahm Emanuels a$$. The nieghborhood is secure and property values go up, property taxes are increased, more $ for schools, police, people start living like human beings,etc. Or maybe that's the problem? Obama just don't get it.

"It's funny. After all these decades of these gangs violent activites, they still aren't being addressed and they occur more and more in other states year after year. These gangs aren't politically motivated..."

That's the problem: the absence of a political message means that they don't fit most accepted definitions of "terrorism" however much their actions are similar to terrorists. They still have to be treated as "criminal street gangs" (which is unfortunate). I'm a big advocate for hitting them with federal and state Joint Task Forces as well. Guess what monies are being cut from police budgets? If you answered "Gang Task Force", you are a winner. What we need is an energetic DA to start hitting punks with RICO violations and get the feds involved. They have money.

1992: 943, 2011: 433, what's to complain about? They must be doing something right?

"Cluck!"

Lets see one of the most corrupt city governments in the United States, a police force that are merely proxies for the major crime families in Chicago, a mayor that is one of the most corrupt politicians in the United States and part of the Obama Gangsta hood and then of course there is the most corrupt man in US politics - Obama all have Chicago in common along with their crooked ass unions

When we send Barry back to Chicago in January, he can hug and hold all the murderers and do his community organizing. That should end all the crime in Chicago. Or he can continue his own crimes with his accomplice, Rahm.

The Mafia still exists in Chicago both in Crime and Politics.

"The Untouchables". Sure Rahm Emanuel belongs to the gangsta Group.

What an arrogant, all knowing, self-absorbed person for being a Mayor!

Think this will be bad for Chicago's Tourism Industry, don't you?

Kevna, Barry needs to take Eric Holder with him back to Chicago. Along with Rahm, the three of them could annihilate the Windy City in short order!

There's no oil in Chicago..

No oil in Afghanistan either...

Brokinarrow

Don't confuse Lusitania with facts. It will get her off to a really bad start so early in the week.

No oil but sure would be nice to have a pipeline run to end the monopoly.

Lou-2734100

??? Do you have any idea where Afghanistan is? Do you realize the terrain that would need to be traversed to build a pipeline? And lastly, a pipeline to where? The country is landlocked.

Should I wait for an answer?

Metaphorically there are things there we're fighting for,

XD putz, I have this weight problem between my legs where as no one has mistook me for a she.

Got anything to say or are just streaming..

Lusitania

NOT metaphorically, we attacked the people that were harboring the people that attacked us. What it has morphed into is another issue.

Now, was there a need to immediately resort to name calling? A simple explanation that you have your head between your legs would have sufficed.

Flame77_7

Not a bad idea!! We'd all have a better idea of who is an isn't a believer!!

The XD is my favorite carry. However, I do use the Ruger LC-9 every once in a while, or even as a backup.

The PSS-9mm is also nice, but I just got that and am still getting used to it.

Lusitania

Afghanistan is RICH in rare earths, minerals and gem stones, including gold and rubies. It is estimated that there is approximately 1 TRILLION dollars worth of lithium alone available. Rubies can be found literally laying on the ground when one walks into the hills and mountains. Gold is also abundant and easliy accessed.

Opium is a resurgent crop since we ousted the Taliban. THEY had the output tightly controlled as it was against their beliefs, but is was also their primary source of income, so it was farmed but under their control only. They would actually execute anyone caught farming it without their permission.

And how do you equate confusing someone with calling one names? Now THAT confuses me!

Amazing how NBC took this article off of the Front Page at 9:45 am. I guess either Rahm, BO, or the DNC did not like the comments as they were pretty critical of Chicago policy of "no one allowed guns..." however, how does 37 people get shot if only police and military are allowed guns in Chicago?

Yet NBC allows the threads for TS Isaac flounder under all of the political remarks saying the Republican Convention be damned from God with the storm!

XDm9mm and Flame77_7.

I like how you think. I carry both the XD and a Ruger sr9c. maybe I should change also.

I'm voting for a change in Nov.

@ Jack from Jax

"how does 37 people get shot if only police and military are allowed guns in Chicago?"

Don't you read the news anymore? They were probably hit by stray police bullets. LOL

Mike, maybe we should just legalize murder. People don't pay attention to laws anyway.

@sam adams, we already have, it's called abortion. And you seem to want to sway the argument away from the fact that you silly liberals have been in "control" of Chicago for quite some time (as well as Washington D.C.), with some of the more stringent gun controls in the nation, and yet, both Chicago and D.C. have some of the highest murder rates in the country. Care to explain? Or are you going to farm this one out to the almighty bho, or maybe holder???

Just remember that Romney himself signed an assault weapons ban into law in his state. The most President Obama has said about gun control is that we need to make sure existing laws are being upheld...

Brokinarrow

What you say is true. However, one must also consider what Obama told Sarah Brady about "working under the radar" which Sarah later retracted and claimed he never said that to her.

At the time, the "working under the radar" was apparently in reference to the UN Small Arms Trade Treaty, which if it HAD passed, would have required all signatories to create and enforce a registry of ALL small arms within the signatories country and such registry would be made available to any and all other signatories at their convenience.

There were obviously many other elements to the treaty, but like a certain Speaker of the House once noted; "We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it".

XDm - Well the media kept a good lid on that one, never heard about it.

Either way, I don't like the current options. Romney might as well wear a corporate sponsorship suit jacket if he gets elected, and I don't trust that the corporations value our 2nd amendment rights all that much. In fact I'd be willing to bet they want to see the public disarmed just as bad as all the other gun control (I should say) anti-gun nuts out there.

Btw, do you have a direct link to anything about the bit about Obama and Sarah Brady? Obama came through my hometown the last time he was campaigning, if he does it again (or Romney for that matter) I would love to be able to throw some tougher questions their way.

Actually, just found this on Politifact:
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2012/jun/14/national-rifle-association/barack-obama-coming-after-guns-under-radar-nra-say/

The actual quote from Sarah Brady (she is saying this is what the President said) is: "I just want you to know that we are working on it," Brady recalled the president telling them. "We have to go through a few processes, but under the radar."

Leaves a lot for interpretation there.... but I'll be sure to throw that question to the President if I get a chance.

I find it interesting how the comments have gone from people getting shot in Chicago to preferred sidearm carry to natural resources of Afghanistan. Of course, the non-controversial political banter is injected as well.

Chicago is an interesting example of gun control at work. Comparing Chicago to Detroit is interesting also. If law abiding citizens don't do something to take their cities back, or to prevent them from becoming cesspools of crime, then they can expect martial law-type situations to be on the horizon.

If you want to stay afraid, vote Romney. If you want to vote without fear, face reality, vote Obama!

I'll diligently work to comprehend the genius in that post too !

I'm not too afraid, but I'll definitely still be worried regardless of who gets elected. If said future president manages to get big money out of politics I'd be slightly less worried.

Brokin...

I think we need to freely admit that it doesn't matter "who gets elected" as to it having any effect on urban violence or the causes of it. Having Mr. Obama land the job and things only grow worse proves it.

Brokinarrow

While I have trepidations about both, I DO feel a Romney/Ryan administration will be much less divisive than the Obama/Biden administration has been.

Obama is very adept at inserting veiled class/race warfare rhetoric into his speeches and actually gets rewarded for it.

I also feel that a Romney/Ryan administration will be much better for LEGAL firearms owners and hopefully will be better at reigning in the various entities in the Federal bureaucracy that are trying to stymie those rights.

@tony-268769, "I'll diligently work to comprehend the genius in that post too !"

It would behoove you to do so :)

A wise man once said, "If you want to stay afraid, vote Romney. If you want to vote without fear, face reality, vote Obama!"

I moved to Ohio and they basically give you a gun anywhere, no questions, just show me the money. It's very quiet where I live with no trouble.

Hey, let's make it illegal to disregard the laws! Oh, we already did that.

Well, then let's pass some more gun laws. Even if it doesn't work we'll feel like we did something anyway.

Chicago is a prime example of why gun laws don't work. CRIMINALS DON'T OBEY LAWS!!!

Gun laws only disarm law abiding people.

Maybe some day the left will pull their heads out of their a$$es long enough to figure that out. I mean afterall, it only takes rational common sense. But anyone that doesn't have enough sense already to keep their head outta their a$$ I would think, doesn't have the capacity to harbor common sense in the first place. All in all, the gun laws really doesn't have anything to do with eliminating crime in the first place, they are basically nothing more than part of the tactics that the left is using to try and destroy this nation so that they can usher in their much coveted and longed for one world totalitarian gubmint.

In my opinion many Americans are too stupid to own guns.
So maybe you should focus on educating your population, rather than telling them what firearms they can/can not have.

IXLR8

You really had me going there when you said;

I moved to Ohio and they basically give you a gun anywhere, no questions,

then you had to go spoil everything with;

just show me the money.

And here I thought Ohio was getting really good about something!! Honestly, about all I know about Ohio is, don't look now, you just got tagged in a Speed Trap. They really should put warning signs at the borders....

That is exactly why we need Al & Jesse to step up! They are the Captains of industry and religion who want to save their people. Get to work and get er done.

XDm9mm

all I know about Ohio is, don't look now, you just got tagged in a Speed Trap. They really should put warning signs at the borders ...

But they do put warnings at the border! They say, 'Welcome to O-hi-O' ...

Mo...

There's no money to made or suckers to shake down for Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson to care much about the violence in Chicago.

Talk...

I pretty much agree with you...far, far too many Americans are "too stupid" to do a lot of things, including owning guns.

Of course they are much too busy watching reality television and twittering & tweeting to worry about anything trivial.

tony-268769

I surmise your "too stupid" comment is a self assessment. Thank you for your honesty.

What's the matter, you miss your visit from the 'Clever Fairy' this morning ???

That's honest.

No problem...sometimes have to read things twice too...and I'll always stand by my impression of the educational level of today's America, where the old saying "never underestimate the intelligence of the average American voter" has been quietly laid to rest.

If the students in our schools and those that teach them always "read things twice" we'd be far better off, but instead we've reached a point where very many in America cannot even read things once.

"FREE AMMO" weekends once a month would be a big help.

I recommend Chicago start building more schools and eventually they will get by with less jails. It is called investing in yourself, your future, your kids' future. America is in part based on this very principal. It is what put us at the top. We have always known this as a people.

"Education is the foundation of democracy" - Th. Jefferson.

upset-1557697

While building schools is a very laudable endeavor, and it IS a valued cornerstone of this country, one must ATTEND school to learn the lessons taught. I'm sure there are schools available in the area these things are happening. Unfortunately, it has not accomplished much now has it?

The things killing each other are sub-humans, let then thin out their own herd.

"Education is the foundation of democracy" - Th. Jefferson.

When you consider capital investment, debt service and retirement and health benefits, Chicago spends $16,000 per year per public school student. They are sending kids to unsafe schools where they don't learn. The public schools system is a monopoly and they never produce a good product at a reasonable cost. It will never improve until we have school choice.

Al? Jesse? are you hearing this ? Are you listening? Leave George alone and get busy saving the innocents of Chicago.

LOL! Exactly! Where are all the race baiters? Opps, I forgot, WRONG RACE, they can't make any money off blacks killing blacks and your'e only racist if your'e white, or close to white, or thought to be white at first. ANYWAY, my point is all these people dying in the heart of their "supporters" and they're down here in FL for ONE GUY! Well, not anymore the money train ran out. OH WELL! We'll see them next time a white guy gets in their targets. Or, close to white, or thought to be white..........

@ Steve - wow, be a little more racist there buddy. Hard to believe people are still dumb enough to think someone isn't human just because they have a different skin color.... oh, and I went ahead and reported you btw, enjoy the impending ban.

I don't think Steve is necessarily racist. I feel that animals that prey on others, ARE things, ARE sub-human, whether black, brown, white or green. For example, the WHITE person that went on the rampage in Colorado.

Brokinarrow, Where did 'Steve' mention the 'race' of the subhumans he was referring to?

Yeah, he didn't. Wake up, people like YOU are the biggest racist of them all...and for the record, I reported YOU. Sadly, you probably wont 'enjoy the impending ban', but then again, neither will Steve...

escape from chicago.

Agreed and well said, you said exactly what I was thinking!!!

I recently read an article that referred to the type of news we are showered with every day from multiple sources, including NBC, as "Yellow Journalism". It was used to great effect to get us into the Spanish American war and it's been misleading and misinforming ever since (and probably before). Anyone foolish enough the believe anything offered up by the major media these days is naive indeed. Although this article isn't screaming gun control, it promotes concern that something needs to be done and that naturally leads gun control advocates to action. I'm surprised that action isn't reflected in these comments - yet.

@XD.. That is why it is NBC now.... the (MS) has been removed because Microsoft believes this network is too left... go figure.

You can get to these news articles from the MSN news (Microsoft's home page). Also the TV news channel is called MSNBC. MSN is Microsoft. Maybe you should do some research before you state points of logic that have no basis in reality Flame.

NBC, you are NOT a "news" organization any longer. You are nothing more than a purveyor of special interest ideology, half truths and in several cases manufactured "news", edited to suit your particular agenda.

Yeah, 37 shot in one city in one weekend isn't news worthy? You can't solve your problems until you are aware of them and can discuss them rationally. For that reason alone, this is worth talking about. Whether the terrifying notion of gun control is the answer or not, something should be done. I recommend building more schools. Eventually, you will need less jails. We should invest in our youth instead of Baghdad's architecture and infrastructure. Anyone agree?

@XD, exactly brother! They only report what suits their ideology. In the meantime people, ask your congressman why Homeland Security has put in a purchase order for more hollow point handgun ammo than was used in all small arms in 6 1/2 yrs in Iraq! That's not including their bulk requisition of rifle and shotgun ammo. Why all of a sudden is our civilian agencies going heavily armed, while trying to restrict our rights?

@ Upset - I believe the point is that 37 shootings in one weekend in CHICAGO isn't newsworthy. I'd love to see statistics for the rest of the year in Chicago, along with the previous five years for comparison. Seems like that's something a true JOURNALIST would have looked into....

d mcmillen,i think you already know what the build ups for.its a fdup jigsaw puzzle,unfortunately the pieces fit.stay vigilent!!!

(MS)NBC, all they do is prey on the stupidity of the average American who does not know any better, can't think for themselves or come up with an original idea.

Airman first class

Interesting theory. Maybe Rahm Emanuel is implementing his plan. He recognizes that he can't civilize the animals, so he'll let them kill each other off!! GENIUS!!!

Maybe Rham is helping his buddy Eric Holder AKA "Gun running holder" make some extra retirement money so he won't be broke when he gets out of prison.

Unique American problem? Really? Poverty and ignorance is American? Wow, wonder if the people in the slums of Brazil know this? The solutions to problems are to first get those involved to admit they have a problem. Then get them to understand they need to work on the solutions, rather than wait for somebody else to solve their problems. And since this appears once again to be Black on Black crime, it is time for the leaders of the Black community to get off their asses and provide "leadership".

Maybe if a 15 year old girl was not standing on the corner smoking pot then she would not have got shot??? Ever think of that???

upset-1557697

When the poor, disaffected people of Chicago start cooperating with law enforcement to get the scum out of their neighborhoods I will understand being upset. Chicago has proven many times over that passing laws and throwing money at the issue doesn't help. It starts at the street level by admitting there is a problem and doing something about it.DO NOT expect the middle class taxpayer to give more and more-we don't have any more to give and when we see what happens when our tax dollars are wasted our hearts are hardened.

What if she was sucking on a lollipop?
That shooting was reported as being unintentional.
Smarten up.

If it was a lollipop, she probably still would have gotten shot, but it wouldn't point to a bigger social problem. I know teenagers smoke pot, but it is pretty brazen to do it on the street corner without fear of being caught. Know what would happen in my city if someone saw a teenager smoking pot on the street corner? The cops would get called. What does that say about the goings on in Chi-town? What does it say about the residents in these areas that cannot be depended upon to help clean up their own communities? Nobody cared that a teenager was smoking pot on the street corner until she got shot - that is wrong!

Loslo The thinking part is where the problem is they don't think at all before they pull the trigger

If the gangbangers thought that when they walked into a street and started shooting there would be several good citizens drawing down on them with 12 guage magnums loaded with buckshot even the most stupid would reconsider their actions. A little bit of history for you. In the Coffeyville Bank robbery where the Dalton gang was shot to pieces it wasn't lawmen who did the shooting. It was the citizens of Coffeyville and their privately owned firearms that stopped them. 20 years later, Emmett Dalton, after being released from prison said that if they had known that the citizens would stand and fight and not run away they would never have tried to rob the bank.

I guess you're looking for a return to the Wild West?
I'm sure in your mind you're Wyatt Earp.
Too bad you're probably a wimp in real life. Keyboard tough-guy.

Sure, because a bunch of nutbags with guns is helpful in any situation. Cops can't shoot....hell, most people in the military can't shoot very well. Unless we've got a bunch of cool-as-cucumber sharpshooters, more guns isn't going to help anything.

In many cases more innocents are injured by stray bullets from police than from an actual attacker. The vast majority of American citizens are barely intelligent enough to not suffocate themselves with a plastic bag, let alone be able to SAFELY handle and carry a gun.

I just don't have enough faith in the general public to support more relaxed gun legislation; otoh, I can't support stricter gun laws either when moron CO's and the like are granted pistol permits solely on the basis of an occupation in which any jackass can get a job...

Here's an idea, track down all the babies Daddy's and make them pay child support. Maybe then they would get a job before going to jail.

The have jobs ...drug dealing.

IXLR8, They're trying to do that already! It's just really difficult when "Daddy" has 25 kids from 7 different mothers and is only qualified to deliver pizza's for 8 bucks an hour!

There ain't no stinking jobs that pay a wage; that will pay housing-food-power-phone/Internet-fuel-water-garbage-insurance-maybe shoes and clothes-available to the common man. The people who imply they work harder or smarter than others do not see their advantages only other peoples plights as their own fault. The industrial uprisings in the beginning of the 20th century caused a lot of death. Do you know why? People join groups for recognition of themselves as counting. I have no such delusions as I think I know the secret of life. However I will give my life, liberty, and support to my fellow Americans.

Just the typical stupid a$$ liberal mindset at work.

And speaking of "collateral damage" ... that is 28 more people being treated in hospitals to make all our healthcare premiums go up further. That is unless they all had their own healthcare policies and something tells me they do not.

Maybe it was cops shooting wildly into crowds, like those NYC 'cowboys'?

Typical $hit for brains liberals.

While Chicago does have some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, it is not illegal to own a handgun. That would violate the 2nd amendment. See McDonald v. City of Chicago circa 2010.

Jesse Jackson ( The mail order reverand) has his HQ in Chicago...yet he and his race hustlers are MIA.

and it's funny how when a guy like George Zimmerman uses a gun to avoid getting beat to death - some people call him a p*ssy

...yet these gang bangers and thugs use their guns at the slightest provocation and no one seems to notice or care

Because aren't criminals, y'know?

There's no racism with black on black shootings, so Rev Al and Jesse could care less. No news in it for those @!$%#s.

Obama friend Rahn Emanuel is a putz like Barry. Liberal wackos cannot run a city. Bloomberg in NY is another example of a left wing goofball with a disfunctional PD.

Food stamps are winning the war against them killing each other. Do like everyone else and migrate fartherand farther out to the burbs where it's mostly white like you see in every major city.

Glad I read your comment Charles... I was about to say the same thing. Not only does the state of Illinois not honor other states permits, but they are the only state that has not passed a law allowing its own citizens to apply for, receive a permit for, and carry a weapon. Yayyy gun control. More proof that keeping a weapon out of a law abiding citizens hands is no way to stop crimes involving lethal force.

Humans thing with their BRAIN, while well you know, think with their muh d*&k. Money will not change DNA, sorry.

ALL THIS AN'T Blacks shooting Blacks. This is what some is trying to picture.

These are drive-by shootings. and some just might be Police shootings as well.

We have people minding theie own business, walking home, sitting on porches, and even children playing and getting killed by people that haven't got caught, and the police sure an't looking for them.

So this carrying on tells me, it an't all no Gang shooting as the News Media trying to put it.

There's something else behind all these killings. Some might be gang related, but all are not gang related.

I hope lindabew3540 is a screen name for some type of comedic news show because the posts I am reading from this tag are just atrocious.

On the other hand, if you are serious, please come back to earth.

lindabew3540.... what article were you reading that described the victims and what they were doing? I sure didn't see that part... And you're accusing the police of shooting innocent people? really? I think you need to just stop responding with nonsense that you have no information to back up what you're saying... if the other posts are upsetting you, just stop reading! There's an easy solution instead of just replying with what you *think* happened and who you *think* did it, with absolutely no grounds for your argument. Go do something more productive with your time and energy..

and the police sure an't looking for them.

Hard to look for the shooters when eyewitnesses are not cooperating with the police. You can bet if these shootings were being perpetrated by outsiders, the eyewitnesses would be pointing their fingers at them and anyone that looked like them.

Linda, you need to go back to lala land like Boulder or some place like that. You really don't have a clue when it comes to life in the inner city. I was born and raised in Chicago, and those areas that all these killings have taken place are in the Black Ghetto, and I do mean ghetto. These are the area's that you don't even want to go into if it is broad daylight outside.

I say do what the old man did when the riots happened after MLK was assassinated. Declare Marshall Law and get the national guard involved. It won't be the 1st time to have tanks and half tracks rolling down the streets in Chicago. Don't tell me that it didn't happen, because it did. That was a fun year, 1968 to be living in Chicago.

Geezz! I thought I was reading a headline from Syria: 37 shot over the weekend. No!! It's Chicago. Numming!

Guns don't kill - people do.

Hammers don't drive hails - people do.

But the tool sure helps, don't you think?

Now that we have on of these mass-shooting "incidents" pretty much every week, don't you think it it is time to DO something about firearms on the street? Do we REALLY want a society where everyone has an AK-47 slung across their backs wherever they go, just to feel safe?

Same exact arguement could be said about: cars, airplanes, ropes, boats, trains, and almost ANY blunt, or sharp, tool you can find around just about anyone's house. Your liberal hogwash arguement is tired, and old.
