Prediction: you won't hear Mayor Rahm or any of Chicago's Alderman talking about/addressing this.

Move to Baghdad where it’s safer or at least move to a town where criminals are afraid of armed citizens and the public cooperates with police.

I think Trump should jump into this, and call a meeting of Mayors, Governors, and community representatives to have a public discussion on how to address and stop this carnage. It’s too easy for the media to bury this stuff, and for politicians to ignore it.

This is not Trump’s problem. Get rid of the welfare state.

but if we did have some high level White House discussion of violence and shootings in our cities?

The vast majority of this violence in Chicago is committed by feral young black men.

The liberals and media consider it racist to talk about certain inconvenient truths about who the perpetrators of the bulk of the violence and shootings are.

Any plans coming out of such a meeting, such as to reinforce police resources against people who commit the violence, would be condemned as racist by the media and the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the world.

So, it’s quite possible the result would be, that the discussion ends, because of fears of being called racist by talking about the problems in the first place.

It's not a problem Trump created, but it was one of the things he ran on, and one of the things he reached out to minority communities about. The left don't want a dialogue about this because it shines a light on the failures of their ideology. I would argue that when infants and children get shot and killed it's a problem for all of us. I don't disagree about the welfare state's role in leading to fatherless households and the destruction of the inner city.

I definitely agree, but this is why it needs to be done, in my opinion. Let the world see that the left cares more about its political posturing than it does about minority lives - a point that I think is largely true.

More Gun Free zone signs - what’s the matter with the mayor anyway? Has he no compassion?

The situation in Chicago constantly reminds me of the last line in the theme song from Monk -

"Its a jungle out there"

It all goes back to the welfare state. single moms with lots of kids get bigger checks. Baby Fathers not living their lives as Fathers to their children. The church has become a relic of bygone days in Black culture.

I pray for revival in the black community, in their churches, with shame coming upon many that have wasted their own lives and in turn contributed to wasted lives of the next generation.

I am expecting big things to happen with Dr. Ben Carson as a catalyst for action.

Just like using the “N” word ,,,, only blacks are allowed to kill one another and have it be accepted by them .

Pathetic

Without cops life is , as Hobbes said “life outside society would be ‘solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short”.

Enjoy life without the Leviathan.
