And....
Here....
We.....
Go!
Two state representatives called on Gov. Pat Quinn Sunday to deploy the Illinois National Guard to safeguard Chicago's streets.
Chicago Democrats John Fritchey and LaShawn Ford said they want Quinn, Mayor Richard Daley and Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis to allow guardsmen to patrol streets and help quell violence. Weis said he did not support the idea because the military and police operate under different rules.
"Is this a drastic call to action? Of course it is," Fritchey said. "Is it warranted when we are losing residents to gun violence at such an alarming rate? Without question. We are not talking about rolling tanks down the street or having armed guards on each corner."
Of course this problem has showed up in Chicago primarily because law abiding citizens are barred from possessing and carrying their own defensive weapons.
You know, these things called pistols, which the Chicago Police seem to think they need to defend themsevles.
But that's only for them. You? If you're assaulted (or worse) by some common thug, you're just supposed to lay there and take it - whatever "it" might be, including rape or even murder.
Of course these criminals have the best of respect for the law, and as a consequence because it is illegal none of them have guns, right?
Oh wait...
Time to leave folks. Chicago is headed for Detroitsville, as the city disintegrates due to lack of funding and a government that abuses the Constitutional Right of the citizens there to keep and bear arms for lawful defensive purposes.
May Daley wind up presiding over an empty, burned out shell.
It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
2 Chicago state reps: Bring in the National Guard
It's not a far leap from here to the suspension of elections due to "domestic terrorism". We're being set up, and they are getting ready to spring the trap.
Those damn right wing extremists are at it again...
Yet.
It’s a possible stepping stone for the same tactic on a far larger scale as we approach the November elections.
May Daley wind up presiding over an empty, burned out shell.
It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
Ditto!!!
We need a photoshopped Daley head doing the Dukakis thing in a tank.
They are all quick to talk smack about the military until they want the military to solve their problems. Typical.
Obamah’s Fault !!
I can see where this is going. As the weather warms, the locals attack the troops, the troops defend themselves, some locals get hurt. And then the Mesiah blames the troops and replaces them with his private army.
So you want the NG to be free babysitters?
Sounds good to me. Let the 2nd CW commence..
Wouldn’t this be a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act?
Chicago has run out of other people’s money!
All focus will be off Arizona for awhile because...it is going to get ugly in Illinois.
In fact this is great news for National Security laws to be enforced...Homeland Security...please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Not once Marial Law is declared. Then all sorts of fun things can happen like the suspension of Habeus Corpus and that pesky Bill Of Rights thingy.
That only applies to republican presidents. Ask Clinton, Reno, and Clark.
Protecting citizens from their despotic government probably isn't what they had in mind.
Why not? The feds couldn’t screw it up any worse than it is.
That’s why they went to the governor. The head of State has the authority to request troops.
