The National Guard to the Rescue in Chicago

“Every single day we wake up in the city of Chicago, some child, some young adult, some African-American male has been murdered,” state Rep. Monique Davis said Thursday. “This is not acceptable.

“I’m hearing from mothers that they are afraid to go outside,” she said. “Hospitals are overburdened with 70 gunshot wounds in one day. Ambulances are so busy people are driving victims in their own cars.”

Davis held a press conference this week to ask Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn to call in National Guard “to protect our children so they can go to the park and swim and play and have a childhood.” She said the governor has not responded."

Of course, we would not want to arm decent citizens in Chicago to protect themselves and their neighborhoods after the lawmakers have failed for decades to do so!

The liberal answer: bring in the military to shoot American citizens in the streets of Chicago in order to restore order. After all, that solution is very popular in the third world especially among dictators.

Wait! I thought the violence in Chicago was no worse than in any other major city according to the liberal media. Strange how other cities have not issued a call for the military to take back the streets. Those requests must be stuck in committee.

It is frightening that people like Representative Davis are in positions of authority.

Here is a suggestion: get out of Chicago now!

The 1st urban “yute” shot by a Nat. Guardsman will be the signal to riot.

This is impossible because Chicago has excellent Gun Control laws.

Government to the rescue! Forget about addressing the real issue: lack of fathers, lack of education and government dependency.

There are legitimate civilian uses for the national guard but normal policing ain’t one of them.

In the neighborhoods she’s talking about I almost wouldn’t mind seeing the Guard go in there with tanks and air support. Almost....

But, if this happened, and trouble broke out, and a black youth was shot by a non black National Guard member, then you would have another Trayvon martin case on our hands.

This is a hoax. Liberal Democrats control Chicago. Gun crimes are not possible when guns are outlawed. I’ll bet evil conservatives are somehow the cause of this. GW Bush is probably orchestrating the violence from Texas.
