Which is more challenging? The Congo or Chicongo?

Chicago is bracing for Memorial Day chaos by deploying 'peacekeepers' across the city - after 52 people were shot and nine killed over the holiday last year.
Historically, Memorial Day weekend has been marked by an increase in violent incidents in Chicago, making it one of the most challenging periods for public safety in the city.
Governor JB Pritzker announced on Thursday the establishment of the Citywide Crisis Prevention & Response unit, which will collaborate with community-based organizations to deploy over 30 trained neighborhood 'peacekeepers.'
It was described as a highly mobile team that is specifically designed to prevent violence and address conflict and crises in the City of Chicago by providing essential assistance in de-escalation, conflict resolution, and crisis support across the Windy City.
This coordinated response effort will serve as a crucial test for newly inaugurated Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who assumed office this month with a commitment to addressing public safety through 'intelligent and holistic approaches' rather than relying solely on toughness.
Governor Pritzker emphasized the paramount importance of ensuring community safety.
'The most important work we do is keeping our communities safe,' Pritzker said. 'This is another important step towards addressing violence and conflict through research-based, community-focused approaches.'
'Our primary focus lies in safeguarding our neighborhoods. This initiative represents a significant stride towards tackling violence and resolving conflicts by implementing research-based strategies and placing a strong emphasis on community engagement,' he said.
Inspired by the success of two preexisting organizations within the city, Gov. JB Pritzker has implemented a program that mirrors their efforts.

It was only 1:30pm yesterday afternoon when the shooting started at North Avenue Beach, IIRC the biggest beach in Chicago. Got closed down for most of the day as a result.
It's NOT going to be pretty in Chicago this weekend, that's for damn' sure and all of us who live way out in the 'burbs (in my case, 30 miles out) ain't going anywhere near that hell hole.
That job would be more dangerous than being a cop
I'll take the over on the dead.

How do I sign up to be one of these peacekeepers? I can’t think of anything more fun than trying to break up a gunfight between a bunch of thugs.
The good news is, tragic though it may be, that once these peacekeepers start adding to the body count, maybe it will finally cause leftists to realize that hard force is the only thing that works. They’ll probably just move back onto gun control though. The problem is not understanding why certain people would kill others over petty differences. It’s the instrument of murder, you see.
Shitcago could be taken care of very easily.
Send a Chinaman to a southside street corner and hand out packets of fentanyl.
Then sit back and watch the show.
The holistic approaches to violence prevention wonât work compared to the older âholeâistic methods.
I think the best thing about Chicago is that it is not San Francisco
People who choose to dwell in tents eschew the cold

“..Who wants to predict the death toll? I say 10 dead, 23 wounded but that includes Mondayâs totals.....”
Counting the “peacekeepers” and also including Monday, I say 15 dead, 27 wounded.
Peacekeepers better be carrying a piece.
I avoid DailyMail website...does it say how many of these “peacekeepers”? Will they get kevlar vests & helmets ?
If itâs 1 less than last year our Pravda minions will cheer that his reforms are a success and all cities should immediately follow suit.
If more die Pravda will state, itâs too soon to see if the âgood Mayorâsâ plan will succeed.
BLM patch on one arm and a rainbow flag on the other.
Good luck wit ‘dat.
The peace keepers are being deployed to protect the money from the black trash
