Gee. Anyone want to take a stab at what causes violence in Chicago and how to stop it?

Does anyone find anything useful in the article? How is this "plan" any differrent?

Didn't "Bobby" advocate violence when he was a panther? Didn't he say "We need to arm ourselves against the police"? I guess if you want to know the cause of violence consulting Bobby Rush is a good start.

Does anyone know how the deserter, Bobby Rush, got an honorable discharge from the Army?

Maybe “hope and healing” will work better than “hope and change” did...

The murder rate in Detroit is down 24% this year compared to the same time period last year but I doubt any Chicago pols want to contemplate why.

To solve the violence problem in Chicago:

Ban Public Unions
School Choice
Ban all government assistance except to married folks
Encourage all law abiding citizens to buy guns
Celebrate when they kill thugs
Lock up the thugs. Put them in chain gains.
Allow the new non-union police force to go after the thugs
Reduce taxes. Reduce regulations. Encourage all sorts of businesses (jobs) to come back to Chicago.

Parents + jobs + 2nd Amendment + non public unions = less crime

Really? I thought violence in Chicago WAS down. Ther ferals had killed each other so much so that there was hardly anyone else to shoot.

I guess breeding and importing new victims keeps the dream alive.

1. Detroit is an open carry city with a growing number of people carrying.

2. a good police chief who supports armed citizens and has ended idiotic feel good community outreach programs in favor of actual police work.

Who says that you need an honorable discharge from the military to be elected to office in Chicago.

And all this time I thought Midnight Basketball was to solve the problem.

Fifty years of LBJ’s “Great Society” has destroyed the black family. Now, young black men look to gang members and rappers for role models instead of solid father figures.

Left-wing Detroit is open carry? Are you sure? Since when?

Yes I'm sure. Michigan is open carry and state law supersedes municipal laws and ordinances.

Michigan has been an open carry state for years. Detroit’s current police chief is an advocate for an armed public, so the city doesn’t have the illegal/unconstitutional practice of hassling people who are legally armed.
