Trust me. The Left is working on this. Making cars and transportation fuels and registration fees prohibitively expensive will make the suburbs available only to the elitists. Everybody else must live in the cities, where they can be more easily controlled and monitored.

More specifically, we need to herd the proles into the cities, and leave the wide open former suburbs for the ruling elite and media glitterati to build their country estates.

The saints that live in Chicago would be in HEAVEN if it wasn’t for guns, white people, the suburbs, drugs, fast food, pollution and alcohol bringing them down

Gun Advocate Wants Priest’s ‘Snuff’ Comments Investigated
Nathan Burchfiel
Staff Writer

(CNSNews.com) - A gun rights advocate wants the Justice Department to investigate a Catholic priest who during a weekend anti-gun rally threatened to “snuff out” a Chicago gun store owner.

As Cybercast News Service reported earlier, Rev. Michael Pfleger said Saturday in comments aimed at Chuck’s Gun Shop owner John Riggio, “we’re going to find out and snuff you out.”

Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina’s Church in Chicago, told the crowd “we’re going to snuff out John Riggio, we’re going to snuff out legislators that are voting ... against our gun laws and we’re coming for you because we are not going to sit idly.”

To “snuff” can mean to sniff, inhale, or extinguish. It is also commonly used as a slang term for “to kill.”

Pfleger made the comments during an anti-gun rally sponsored by Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH Coalition. Pfleger and his church are active in anti-gun and anti-gang efforts in Chicago.

In a letter to Assistant U.S. Attorney General Wan Kim obtained by Cybercast News Service, Second Amendment Foundation President Alan Gottlieb requested an investigation of the threat and defended Riggio’s character.

“Mr. Riggio is the operator of a legal business that operates under both Illinois state law and federal statute,” he wrote. “He has harmed nobody to my knowledge, and yet he has been repeatedly subjected to harassment, character assassination and now, what appears to be a threat of bodily harm.”

Gottlieb said he viewed Pfleger’s comments as “a serious threat to Mr. Riggio’s safety and civil rights” and urged Kim to investigate.
