Boykin asks United Nations for help fighting Chicago violence
ABC 7 Chicago ^ | 12/14/17 | Megan Hickey, Craig Wall

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin headed to the United Nations in New York Thursday to ask for help fighting violence in Chicago.

"I'm hoping to appeal the UN to actually come to Chicago and meet with victims of violence and maybe even possibly help out in terms of peace keeping efforts," Boykin said.

Boykin boarded a plane to New York City for a meeting with an Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations. It's a meeting that's been planned for more than a month and stems from disconcerting violence numbers seen this year in Chicago. Violence which is felt particularly hard in many African American communities.

"...EXCUSE ME??????????????????????..."


It’s true. Chicago was a truly wonderful city until President Trump arrived and totally ruined it.

So he just happened to arrange a junket to NYC during Christmas season? Wonder how many shows and expensive meals he fit in during his “working” trip?

It seems clear to me that what Chicago needs is some strict gun-control laws.

(Oh, wait...)

"Correct me if Im wrong but can a US city ask a foreign power to provide military force for domestic security?"

No they can't. This action probably violates any number of federal laws.

It is all those gun stores in Chicago. Almost everyone has a concealed carry license. You walk in the gun store, give the clerk a couple hundred dollars, and you get one of those military full-auto sniper rifles that fit in your pocket and shoot 10,000 rounds a minute per clip. And no background check! /sarcasm

The idiot-o-logs in Chi would rather preside over murder and anarchy than do the right thing. And they keep getting re elected and they are beloved. A match made in heaven...?

He does not have the right to do that. He didn’t ask the Trump administration for help. He asked the UN. This is a deliberate insult to Trump.

Does Chicago want and have the power to invite armed blue helmet troops from Congo Surinam and Nepal patrolling its streets, empowered to shoot US citizens even if they are gang bangers?

Well, the UN guys could just fly to Mexico, then walk in across the border and take a Tiny Dancer Express bus to Chicago. Or maybe that transportation company is what Luis Guterriez is taking over after he retires from Congress.

Either way, they could in California and wait for the delivery of their illegal guns from Eric Holder's undercover gun company, the one that sells weapons to Mexican drug dealers. A Democrat's gotta work, ya know.

I just KNOW that all of my fellow FReeper will be SHOCKED at this photo of the gentleman in question...

GIVEN the fact that Cook County and Chicago have both been totally controlled by the same political party for the past 2 generations, perhaps I could make a Swiftian suggestion? Maybe it is time for a change there?

EXCUSE ME????????????????????????

By your last line showing 2nd Amendment support, I’d suggest you restate (correct) that comment unless you have switched to the Liberals camp.

Sarcasm is a foreign language to you, isn't it?

In a word: No.

Too many Federal laws, directives, EO's, state laws, etc to list, but I reiterate: Hell NO!.

And an armed member of a foreign government walking the streets of a sovereign city of the United States of America is nothing more than an easy target.

Period.

I will grant that there are procedures for such, within the United Nations proper, and since the US is a member of the United Nations, to our ever-lasting shame, and being signatory to many of the stupid directives they have adopted, it is conceivable that a "Peace-keeping Force" could land on our shores.

But it ain't probable and as disjointed and unorganized as we, the people, are, I really cannot see it being tolerated under any circumstances.

No matter what the purpose, I would personally join up with any resistance effort and those blue helmets would be full of holes in no time.

And speaking of those blue helmets...I know of no member of the US Armed Forces that would put one on and go after US Citizens, from the buck private up to the General.

So let this Boykin ass do his pitiful thing...I call it open sedition and treason, but no matter what, he'll not be successful at anything other than making a fool of himself.

But then, as we all know and have seen what comes out of it, as in obama and others, the political machine of Chicago and most of Illinois is just that...fools.

Get US out of the UN!
