Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 1m1 minute ago More

If Chicago doesn't fix the horrible "carnage" going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!

My prediction was the Donald would lay it out in a press conference the appalling domestic terrorism of Chiraq, call up National Guard under DHS rules or leverage Gov to do it, lock down the west sides and south sides war zones, establish curfews, stop and frisk, ID checks. I’ve read there are 59 street gangs in drug turf war.

It can’t be fixed. Certain residents of Chicago are bent on violence and the only solution is to build a wall around the high crime areas and let them have at it. If they won’t control themselves, then nothing is going to stop them.

He’s just given back a lesson from the Obama Administration.

He’s gonna send in the Justice Dept. To investigate the revolving door of criminals, crooked Judges and Prosecutors!

Conspiracy to deny civil rights of citizens under color of law, specifically, the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, resulting in the proliferation of crime and criminal, which, in turn, endangers public welfare (in the original meaning, not in the modern sense of transfer payments).

There has to be an agreement by the local,state, and fed leaders to send police forces in.

I remember a number of years ago when Hartford, CT was having gang problems, police on all 3 levels sent in LE folks.

“Under what Constitutional authority?”

RICO
Massive immigration fraud
Massive violations of the Felons using firearms
and last... they came in and started consent decrees on police departments. Obama just did one in Chicago. It means the feds RUN that department. Now Trump can use the authority Obama launched.
And last but not least, a refusal of state and locals to protect civil rights. You may recall three civil roghts workers murdered in Mississippi back in ‘64. The Feds came right in.

Yes, they have plenty of authority. They can roll into town and enforce every federal law in existence. Dope, Guns, RICO, you name it.

“That was my old 1SG’s favorite line.”

My 1SG in 1979 was 1SG Barnum. Vietnam Vet. That stood for:

Bad
Arrogant
Rotten
Nasty
Ugly &
MEAN!

...and then he’d smile his 1,000-watt smile at you.

I’ll love that guy ‘til the day I die. He taught me how to keep my @ss ALIVE!

The problem in Chiraq is much bigger than this. That numerous agency option has been used several times in Gary, IN bastion of crime and deviancy, checkpoints, massive warrant searches, etc to good effect. Chiraqistan greater population, bigger area requires an army to handle all the wards of hell.

Nice try, but I’m not buying it. Chitcago, and other similar cities, are simply experiencing the good democRAT government their citizens voted for. Violence in these cities was actually worse in the ‘70s and the ‘90s, but nobody pretended it justified sending in the US armed forces or militia. And there’s no way in HELL anybody on this forum would have tolerated 0bama making a federal case of it, had he been so inclined.

He'd better yank the beam (NFA '34, GCA '68, FOPA '86) out of his own eye before presuming to remove the speck from any State's eye.
