Trump once again addressed the violence in Chicago last week during his joint address to Congress. He didn’t mince words either.

Perhaps the boys in the hoods of Chicago got the message.

Trump’s the kind of guy to have 500 federal officers on the ground there all of a sudden.

You don’t want to call that kind of rain down on your head.

We’ll see if this continues.

The last thing the Gangbangers and politicians want is the Feds to show up and screw up their cozy relationship between them making money on drugs and street patronage...

LOL — The local mainstream media reported that Chicago went a whole week without a homicide as of Sunday — CONVIENTLY not noticing the Saturday homicide. You can’t make this stuff up.

Meaningless. Some weeks are high, some low. Regression to the mean.

“Chicago almost goes full week without fatal shooting”

It got sick chuckle outta that headline. It almost sounds like something you’d read in The Onion.

I say it's probably a result of poor marksmanship, not a cooling of tempers.
