Inter-gang gunbattles?
A repeat of a story: years ago there was a debate between Jessie Jackson and Orin Hatch on gun control—Jesse for it, Orin against it.

Rahm dreams of 55 million annual visitors to Chicago by 2020 - to a city that's shooting itself to death. Now that's what I call a reality-disconnect.
“If only there was a Community Organizer that could be sent to Chicago.”
Oh please, don’t let him back into Illinois. We have enough problems.
Gakirah ? What sort of name is that? Sounds like a Japanese monster.
Gakirah !
What world do these people live in ?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Obama has EVER mentioned Chicago violence directly, or visited the Chicago ghettos, or talked to the victims there.
He’s been in power for freaking 5 1/2 years now, and not once does he show concern for his “hometown” or its people.
And not a peep from the cheerleading media either. Does anyone in Chicago notice this??
You would think Obunghole would want to visit his pal, Rahm Emanuel and say "Good job, Rahmie".
Just getting tuned-up; they’re a little ‘rusty’ from the winter layoff. Have faith. They’ll get their ‘groove’ back...
Yep - and that “spousal person” of his issues not a peep about it, instead choosing to blather on inanely about vegies and “Let’s Move”.
He is a fraud and does not care about people. There is something off about him.
