Durbin: ‘Hard’ to See What’s Causing D.C. Crime Surge, I Know Lack of Gun Control Is Part of Chicago’s Problem
Breitbart ^ | 09/12/2023 | Ian hatchett

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Senate Majority Whip and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) responded to a question on the crime surge in Washington, D.C. and what can be done for crimes committed without a gun by stating that “it’s hard to put your finger on it for any given city.” And “Some of this is going to take addressing issues that are really deep-seated in terms of poverty and the way children are being raised,” Durbin also stated that he knows that lack of gun control is a part of the crime issue in Chicago.

Well, Dirty Dick Durbin, it is not hard to see that you are an idiot.

The situation at O’Hare Airport is deeply concerning.

Housing migrants at one of the country’s busiest airports, hidden behind curtains, raises multiple questions about security, public resources, and priorities. The fact that homeless Americans were evicted from the airport while migrants are being housed there is a slap in the face to citizens.

As someone connected to the aviation world, I know airports have tight security protocols. If these aren’t applied to everyone, including migrants, that’s a major issue. Additionally, the city of Chicago has ongoing problems with crime, which makes you wonder why resources are being diverted in this way.

The lack of transparency from the mayor’s office adds another layer of concern. Where is the funding coming from for this crisis, and why aren’t these funds being used to tackle existing problems in Chicago? It seems like the city’s leaders have misplaced their priorities, and it’s the everyday Americans living there who are paying the price.

Chicago’s O’Hare Airport being used as a migrant shelter as crisis ...

5 days ago — More than 400 migrants are reportedly being housed in a section of the airport, hidden from public view behind black curtains, up from 31.

Decriminalizing...uhmmmm....crime

No cash bail

increasing threshold for what the givernment considers “a crime”

making crime socially and morally acceptable

Dear senator Turban,
It is indeed quite a conundrum.

Chicago does not have a gun problem. Chicago does not have a crime problem. Chicago has a culture problem. Crime as a culture is burned into the DNA of Chicagoland. Downtown there are gangs. The Mob moved to the Northwest suburbs. The unions continue to do what the unions have been doing for more than a century.

Some of that culture has seeped into the collar counties, but not to the pervasiveness that the central core is steeped. There are also pockets of Cook County where the criminal atmosphere has lifted...but not many. When I left four decades ago, the South side was sinking fast, but I hear that it never descended so far as to absolutely stink of corruption.

Yes, Chicago can change. But only when the people, en mass, want to.

Perhaps it’s more a matter of feral animal control. Or maybe I should say feral team control.

Doesn’t say much for Durbin’s intelligence is he can’t see the problem.

List the lack of 2 parent families.
List the culture that normalizes and glorifies the 1 parent family and broken families.

list all of societal problems, jobs, income, health, crime, education.

List all other causes. See where there is correlation.
Follow the Statistics. They are never proof. But they sure can raise suspect.
