Dem Rep. Bobby Rush Slams GOP Sen. Mark Kirks Plan To Curb Gang Violence As A White Boy Solution
Once a Black Panther, always a Black Panther.
Via Politico:
Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) on Wednesday called Sen. Mark Kirks proposal to arrest Chicago gang members en masse to deal with the citys crime problems an upper-middle-class, elitist white boy solution to a problem he knows nothing about, according to a report.
Rushs comments came in a phone interview with the Chicago Sun-Times. Kirk, a Republican, had suggested the federal government spend $30 million to battle gangs and use part of that money to crush a major urban gang like the Gangster Disciples, the largest gang in the Chicago area.
Its a sensational, headline-grabbing, empty, simplistic, unworkable approach, Rush told the paper, adding that the $30 million would be better spent on job training and creation.
I am really very upset with Mark, Rush said, adding that Kirks approach was an upper-middle-class, elitist white boy solution to a problem he knows nothing about.
