Monday was Chicago’s worst day in more than a decade for homicides, with 9 people fatally shot
Washington Post ^ | August 10, 2016 | Derek Hawkins

Michael Lucas, 61, was sitting on his front stoop in Chicago’s Burnside neighborhood, watching his 3-year-old grandnephew play in the afternoon sun, when without warning two men ran toward the house and opened fire on him.

Why don’t the Chicago liberals organize support groups that take up residence in these neighborhoods? Surely a well organized block party with a midnight basketball game would relieve the tension.

Why don’t successful blacks return to their neighborhoods and start businesses that provide jobs to these deserving people? The next Bill Gates or Steve Jobs is probably waiting for his break in south Chicago.

Makes him a future Pulitzer Prize winner. Being able to take the story and make it into some other story is an art form, and worthy of serious recognition.

But what did we use to call that skill again?

The killings will continue as part of odumbos plan to keep the mayhem rolling until it becomes soooooo excessive as to require a final “presidential decree, “Confiscate All Firearms”! Why do we hear absolutely zero from “ZERO” to reduce the violence and/or stop the killings altogether? Because he does NOT WANT THEM TO STOP. Chicago has the strictest gun control measures in the entire country and yet, his son’s and daughters have more illegal guns than in Benghazi. No, those killings will only continue to escalate until he reaches his pre-determined goal which then sways his planned decision to bring in the U.N. Blue Helmets to enforce his decree. My guess there will be a lot of dead “blue helmets” in Chicago.

As long as no white people were doing the shooting, it doesn’t matter to Obama, BLM or the fake SJW’s

Seems to me that it’s long past time when the Illinois National Guard were called out. When CA had the Watts Riots decades ago, my cousin, A CA Guardsman at the time, manned a machine gun in an intersection in Watts. I used to work in Menlo Park, CA, right next door to East Palo Alto. One of our employees was the last person shot in East PA before the state put massive numbers of LEO’s in there to stop the violence due to drug trafficking. Now, twenty years later, East PA is a thriving place and the violence is long-gone. IL just doesn’t have the will to fix the problem, but then they don’t fix ANYTHING ELSE either!

Gee, who could have foreseen this. A city run by liberals who hate cops and who disarm law abiding citizens. I’m shocked, shocked I say!

That is why you have packs of wild dogs roaming the streets. All cleaned up by sunrise.

CPD, just as many police department have learned the lesson well from BLM, ACLU and DOJ to stay, “Fetal” as Mayor Rahm Emanuel stated.

No thinking police officer would ever again do pro-active policing in this current ‘War on Cops’ climate encouraged by Obama.

The attitude now among many police officers is now is do nothing and; “Let them kill each other. Tell them to call the ACLU when they need help.”

“Leaders from three West Side gang factions allegedly met last week to discuss plans to shoot members of the Chicago Police Department in response to the fatal police shooting of Paul O’Neal.

The meeting took place Thursday between higher ups from the Vice Lords, Black Disciples and Four Corner Hustlers, according to an alert issued to department members the day after the meeting.

The Four Corner Hustlers “provided guns” and have “a sniper in place” though authorities do not know where, according to the alert. The Four Corner Hustlers are also supplying the other two gangs with automatic weapons, which all three factions have also agreed to use against police, the alert states.

The three gangs are located primarily in the Austin and Harrison districts, which cover much of the West Side.

And guess what the Department is advising:

According to police sources, department members have also been advised to “limit interactions and visibility.

Chicongo has become so dangerous they need their community organizer back. I suggest Obama resign immediately and return to Chicongo.

They've been legal ever since the Supreme Court case McDonald v. City of Chicago.

Chances are slim to none, however, that any of the guns used in these 9 homicides were legally obtained or possessed.

Proving that Black Lives Matter IF the trigger finger is WHITE.
Who is the racist here? I think it is the MEDIA that covers up the weekly slaughter of black youth by black youth. I wonder (not) if this cover-up is deliberate.

Don’t they have strict gun control laws there?

Isn’t that pretty much a ‘gun-free’ zone?

See how good they work? Only the criminals have guns.
