Report: Chicago To Fight Gun Violence With Letters

Chicago police are going to hand deliver letters to people suspected of committing or being victims of gun crimes in an effort to stem violence in the city, according to a new report.

Starting Friday, a district commander will be delivering letters warning certain targets in that district not to commit violent crimes, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The pilot program is targeting individuals off a “heat list” developed by a Yale professor, who studied murders on Chicago’s West Side between 2005 and 2010 and found a small network of people was responsible for more than 70 percent of the killings, according to the Sun-Times.

If the Chicago Police are going to write letters to thugs, they'll need to learn the language first ...

[DogByte6RER]

These Chicago PD letters to thugs will be aout as effective as a strongly worded United Nations letter delivered by Hans Blix

They should send one of those letters to Holder.

Stupid is as stupid does.

I can just imagine a bunch of Cripts rolling on the floor, laughing their effin a$$es off.

Where DO these clowns find this stuff?

Too much dope, too little smarts. “Hey, ChiTown PD, really hope this works for ya!!!”

I just can’t stop laughing....

[Right Wing Assault]

What they really need to do is to send them a trophy for each week they behave.

The longer they behave, the taller the trophies get. Limit 52 feet. Thugs like bling.

[Mr. K]

I keep looking for the satire tag... this IS satire, right PLEASE tell me this is satire...!!!

...a Yale professor, who studied murders on Chicago’s West Side between 2005 and 2010 and found a small network of people was responsible for more than 70 percent of the killings...

Hey, dumb bass! That "small network" is made up of gangs. Bust them, you idiots!! Heavy pressure.

Oh, crap. I forgot about the ACLU, Brother Jesse, and Brother Al. They won't like you messing with their friends/customers.

[spokeshave]

So long as the letters are not in cursive.

I'll bet they don't shoot their dogs while they're there.

[BitWielder1]

Nice letters to thugs! How come nobody thought of that before?
And if that doesn't work, another more sternly worded letter, including the phrase "pretty please".
And after that, a third letter with some harsh language like "pretty please with sugar on top".

Now please Mr. Criminal...Do not cap anyone!

[Venturer]

I just hope no cops get shot delivering the letters.

[GOPJ]

Let’s see -

Midnight basketball

Community Centers

Self Esteem Training in Public Schools

Mentors and ‘Role Models’

Dumbing down classes

Social Promotions

Yep, letters - hand delivered by the police. That’s the one...

[catnipman]

Hey, don’t knock it. At least these letters are likely to be more effective than gun control has been in Chicago.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Why does no one use RICO against the gangs?

[MasterGunner01]

Rahm, whatever you do, do not use cursive writing in your letters. No one will be able to read them. Wait...hold that thought. Most of the recipients are functionally illiterate so it won't matter.

[MHGinTN]

Absolute proof that leftists/democrips/liberals are stuck on magic thinking.

[Political Junkie Too]

Dear Thug,

Please be law-abiding. Please don't shoot people, or steal their stuff, or take drugs.

Be respectful of others, especially your elders.

Sincerely,
Your Neighbors

What could possibly go wrong with this plan?
