Emanuel: Violent Weekend Not A Sign That Anti-Violent Strategies Are Failing

CHICAGO (CBS) — Mayor Rahm Emanuel says police are doing all they can to quell violence on the streets, but the problem requires having fewer guns on the streets and more moral values in the homes, reports WBBM Political Editor Craig Dellimore.

Mayor Emanuel says he is both saddened and sickened by the rash of gun violence that claimed so many lives this weekend while police officers were on 12-hour shifts and the city’s summer jobs program is employing more people than ever.

... the problem requires having fewer guns on the streets ...

But Chicago has strict gun control laws. How can there be any guns on the streets?

“It is the right thing to do...to demand a moral system, and a value system that teaches people right from wrong.”

Maybe you libs should have thought about the consequences before setting out to destroy faith, family, Christianity, heterosexual (normal) relations, the rule of law, Western Civilization, and God.

Liberals like Rahm created the dysfunctional ‘hood’ through decades of their welfare and entitlement programs. The New Deal and Great Society, for example, trained minorities to sit and do nothing in exchange for the government check and in return for Democrat votes. Their system has blown up but, tee hee hee, it isn’t their fault. It’s the gun.

Let’s use the same strategy in Chicago that we’re using against ISIS.

“Violent Weekend Not A Sign That Anti-Violent Strategies Are Failing”

I’d say a body count is about as good of an example of empirical as you can get.

They need more jobs. Maybe they could teach their yutes to work in the funeral industry. BTW, where does Chicago stack all the bodies?

No whites were killed.So”.................

even though the low info shooters and victims won’t even be aware of a new law directed at them, let’s try to intimidate law abiding people into giving up their guns so we can save our hoity toity jobs.

The solution is simple. Disarm everyone, including the police.

Chicago will turn into Shangri La overnight.

Emanuel’s strategies have been failing for decades only he is such as good little ballerina and liar that the great welfare undereducated fools who live in Chicago believe him and vote for him.

Well, they can also bury themselves. I feel sorry for the innocent kids who get gunned down by Emanuel/Obama’s finest sons.

60 dead and wounded over the weekend. More like Nigeria, Syria, Egypt and Iraq than Chicago. On second thought, these casualty figures are more like the total truth about Democrat rule and ruin policies in our major cities.

A repost from another thread:
________________________________

Consider for a moment the Democrat voter. Their elected officials mouth words about gun violence, poverty, education and jobs. They pass laws. And matters get worse. So the Democrat voters re-elect the officials. They pass more laws. And matters get worse. And no one sees the pattern or connects the dots.

Einstein defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results”. That definition also works for “stupidity”.

Even the worst white ghetto needs no anti-violence movements. Only black neighborhoods.

“but the problem requires having fewer guns on the streets”

Here is a novel idea, convicted of gun crime- remove the trigger finger.

No. The problem requires more prisons, more prison guards, and much much lengthier prison senetences for drug dealing gang bangers and their ilk. among other things.

Rahm is never on the South Side grabbing illegal gunz much less doing personal outreach to his homies there. Pure limo lib.
