"'If Mayor can't do it he must ask for Federal help!'" This is not a federal problem!
It is a problem for the municipal government of Chicago
and the State government of Illinois!
They should use the resources of the State of Illinois to
control this problem. How about the State Police patrolling
the streets or perhaps the National Guard should be
called out? How about some tougher sentences being handed out for murder? Like maybe hanging or a firing squad?

And not one mention of allowing lawful black residents to exercise their 2nd amendment rights and arm themselves.

He need to frame this as a civil rights issue.. bring this as a civil rights lawsuit on the City of Chicago
The vast majority of the victims are poor and or minority's....
Consider if this was a 1060s southern city and a large number of black citizens were being murder while a lily white government passively watched ...it would be seen as government implied consent
Trump need to flip the left typical paradigm back on them...break the assumptions

Didn't Twinkle Toes already ask the FBI for help, then jet off to the DNC convention or fundraiser?
Yeah, Rahm's real concerned.

Federal troops, nationalize the guard and deploy them.

I don’t think he was serious about federal help. Looks like sarc to me.
I think there might be an underlying message about the upcoming sanctuary city battle.
To: ColdOne
I think Trump is showing real concern for the black community. He understands that liberalism and the left have caused and encouraged these conditions and don’t really want to solve the problem.

RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
RULE 8: Keep the pressure on. Never let up.
Rahm wanted Chicago.
He's got Chicago.
It's Rahm's Chicago.
It's Rahm's murder problem.
It's Rahm doing nothing to fix it.
Blowtorch Rahm with responsibility for his murder problem in his city that he is doing nothing about.

Federal help? Federal fence around shicago and more range time for the perps.
To: plain talk
The city WON’T do anything about it. The President is tasked with protecting all Americans. I got no problem if it takes the federal government to reduce murders in the street.

To: plain talk
Fair enough. I’ll just throw out that useless law degree I have.

Then why did W get pilloried during Katrina for NO\LA inaction???
To: ColdOne
Chicago’s Mayor Rahm Emanuel must like the illegal drug business overrunning his city. How else does a man get some good crack cocaine? How else does a man line his pockets with Mexican Drug Cartel money?

If a bunch of criminals are shooting at each other halfway across the country, the last thing I want is forvthe POTUS to arrive to dictate how things are done in my town, county, or state.
