VIDEO: Chicago Alderman Sandi Jackson Wants Some Obama Cash
Friends of Ours ^ | 12/21/09 | Friends of Ours

Chicago Alderwoman Sandi Jackson thinks that all the South Side needs to end gang violence -- "acting out," as she calls it -- is more federal funding to establish community centers. An incredulous Drew Griffin asks Jackson where is the outrage over the failure of residents to cooperate with police in the investigation of the crimes by gangbangers, and yet the Alderwoman brings it back to the need for some of that federal cash.

Just what we need. More little ACORNs turning into commie community organizers.

Why don't we just give the gangbangers the money directly; or, we could just furnish them with vintage 1980s Cadillacs, rib-tips, booze and lottery tickets. That's really all they want out of life anyway.

I have never bought the notion that the gangbanger types want out of that lifestyle; moreover, that a “community center” is the answer, as it would invariably become yet another vehicle through which they would peddle drugs and hookers.

As long as anyone refers to murder as “acting out,” the problem will never be solved. And it surely won’t be solved by throwing more money at it.

Typical politician prattle, not just in Chicago, but all over. That’s why we are no longer safe.

Midnight basketball ping!

All these little darlins want is some place to play. They don’t care about drugs, money or the rush when they kill some other gangbanger.

My suggestion is that we build them forts in city parks that they can attack and defend with the spoils going to the victor.
