Some politicians in the past have recommended deploying the National Guard to help Chicago quell gun violence, but Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin went even further on Thursday, suggesting the United Nations perhaps send in peacekeepers in the face of what he called a "quiet genocide."
Boykin was traveling to New York to meet with Oscar Fernandez-Taranco of Argentina, the U.N. Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Support, to seek international help with "horrific levels of shootings" and other violent crime in West Side and South Side communities.
"I'm hoping to appeal to the U.N. to actually come to Chicago and meet with victims of violence, and maybe even possibly help out in terms of peacekeeping efforts, because I think it’s so critical for us to make sure that these neighborhoods are safe," Boykin said at O'Hare International Airport on Thursday.

Boykin said Chicago must "utilize every avenue" available to protect its people from gun violence, possibly including U.N. peacekeepers.
"They've been able to help in places like Africa and abroad, where they’ve sent troops in and sent forces in to help protect minority and vulnerable populations, and so quite frankly I think the same can be said for here in Chicago," Boykin said. "I'm talking about physical security. I’m also talking about maybe suggestions for what we can do in Chicago to help protect our minority populations. We’re being, again, decimated by the violence that we see here in Chicago. I mean this is really a genocide, and we have to do something to stop it."

Blue helmets?
LOL.

Brilliant!
This idea is almost as good as that of the Mayor Of Cologne, Germany’s idea of preventing muslims raping local girls by passing out “Respect” wrist bands.
Any “blue-helmeted foreigner” that the Communist city member cordially invites to Chicago, had better have their burial insurance premiums paid up, for they will not see their far-off homeland again.
Yeah boy,
Bunch of mercenaries blue helmets would take a licking in lot of All American cities.
Oh hell yes.
