These "peacekeepers" are gonna be "deadkeepers" soon enough.

It was only 1:30pm yesterday afternoon when the shooting started at North Avenue Beach, IIRC the biggest beach in Chicago. Got closed down for most of the day as a result.

It's NOT going to be pretty in Chicago this weekend, that's for damn' sure and all of us who live way out in the 'burbs (in my case, 30 miles out) ain't going anywhere near that hell hole.

Who wants to predict the death toll? I say 10 dead, 23 wounded but that includes Monday’s totals.

I'll take the over on the dead.

How do I sign up to be one of these peacekeepers? I can’t think of anything more fun than trying to break up a gunfight between a bunch of thugs.

The good news is, tragic though it may be, that once these peacekeepers start adding to the body count, maybe it will finally cause leftists to realize that hard force is the only thing that works. They’ll probably just move back onto gun control though. The problem is not understanding why certain people would kill others over petty differences. It’s the instrument of murder, you see.

Shitcago could be taken care of very easily.

Send a Chinaman to a southside street corner and hand out packets of fentanyl.

Then sit back and watch the show.

The holistic approaches to violence prevention won’t work compared to the older “hole”istic methods.

I think the best thing about Chicago is that it is not San Francisco

People who choose to dwell in tents eschew the cold

It was described as a highly mobile team that is specifically designed to prevent violence and address conflict and crises in the City of Chicago by providing essential assistance in de-escalation, conflict resolution, and crisis support across the Windy City.

This is going to get more people killed, mainly team members.

“..Who wants to predict the death toll? I say 10 dead, 23 wounded but that includes Monday’s totals.....”

Counting the “peacekeepers” and also including Monday, I say 15 dead, 27 wounded.

If it’s 1 less than last year our Pravda minions will cheer that his reforms are a success and all cities should immediately follow suit.

If more die Pravda will state, it’s too soon to see if the “good Mayor’s” plan will succeed.
