Gee, Rahm, a crisis too good to waste, huh?
Taking the ILLEGAL guns off the street through S&F has one other huge advantage: it puts the evidence laden “guppies” in the hands of the law where they can be forced to give up their “no snitching” code and give evidence against the higher ups. Indeed, without aggressively doing S&F, there’s no way any city can beak the gang bangers code of silence. With, S&F, OTOH, many good things become possible. Naturally, the Rev. Jackson will be the first to support this policy. [sarc. off]
Unexpected?
I’ve lived and worked in both Chicago and Milwaukee. Now I live in Knoxville, TN. Milwaukee and Knoxville are both great places to live. Chicago sucks.
Washington will try and use this for gun control, just watch.
Rahm is bringing the Thugocracy into it’s full glory.
Metro areas aren’t for me. I live in a small city of 10,000 and that suits me fine. I enjoy visiting Milwaukee occasionally, still have relatives not far from there out in the country. Even have a nephew in Chicago on the near-north side. But I’ll not go back there. I’ll see him when he returns home for visits.
and the 38% increase is a bad thing, why?
Living in the cities isn’t for either. When in the Milwaukee area, I lived in Fox Point, about 10 miles north of downtown Milwaukee, and a 4 or 5 minute bike ride to the country. Now I live in far southwest Knox County on about 2 wooded acres and not within the limits of any city. I’ve always believed in working in the city and living in the country, where I do now with two big dogs and the guns I owned before that Terrible Boating Accident where I lost all of the guns.
I live in a metropolis of about 150.
No outrage from the left?
I guess no white hispanics were involved.
Personally, I think that's pretty good advise to anyone. There is no situation so bad that you can't make worse by adding a cop to the mix.
Milwaukee is spinning in in its own right. I used to go there fairly frequently for historic research. North side was already bad, but south side was still pretty good. During the 90s I saw my old south side Milwaukee stomping grounds go to pot as well.
We have a few of those around us. I wouldn’t mind that at all, as long as amenities weren’t too far away. But I’m on the intersection of two Interstates, so I can get on the road quickly to go just about anywhere...
What about the federal midnight basketball initiative? I was told that would keep youths occupied and out of trouble.
