CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE ^ | 8/5/2018 | SUNDANCE

Posted on 08/05/2018 9:28:59 PM PDT by bitt

Good grief, this is horrific. ABC News Chicago is reporting that over 60 people have been shot, with 9 killed, in Chicago just this weekend (Friday through Sunday).

(Chicago) Dozens of people were wounded in shootings across Chicago since Friday, police said. One paramedic described the evening as “a war zone.”

Since midnight, police said 43 people have been shot, six fatally. Since Friday at 5 p.m., 60 people have been shot, nine fatally, in shootings in Chicago.

34 of the shootings and five deaths occurred between 10 a.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday, according to police. During one two-and-a-half hour-hour period, 25 people were shot in five multi-injury shootings. (read more)

Twenty five people shot in two-and-a-half hours !

How can these neighborhoods even function?

Perhaps it’s time to call in the national guard?

The residents of the South side would cheer for Trump if he did send in the troops. It’s a drug war with cartels vying for turf. Since the cops in ChiTown are on the take, what can you expect.

I don't think it was this bad when the Outfit/Mob was more active in Chicago. By this I mean there wasn't a Saint Valentines’ Day Massacre every weekend. Long weekends weren't one, continuous slaughter. And the Saint Valentines' Day Massacre led to a crackdown on the Outfit. You don't see that happening these days. You'd think the mayor or the governor would do something, demand change. But nooo.

“Its just blacks, so it doesn’t really matter... to CNN, etc.”

100% true and sad. One theory is that Democrats are most fearful of black rebellion and support Margaret Sanger with her focus on black repression. Violence unites losers who lack a good product to sell.

There are only 27,000 people there.

2.7 million people live in Chicago.

For years and years, liberals would tell anyone who’d listen that Rahm was a tough guy/badass. Well...??

Since it is mostly south side black people killing each other, Mayor Rham might want to show a little interest. Except I don’t think he cares.

Liberal whiteys anyway...the ones that buy the drugs from sectors that the gangs all fight over. Rahm and his Dem stooges are in a sociological kill box. In order to fix the problem, they would need to use methods that would open them up to the racist charges that they would rather have the conservatives shoulder the blame for.

I’ll be they would love Trump to step in, shedding crockadile tears at all those “racist police state tactics and evil curfews” Trump was employing while being secretly relieved that the killings were reduced and that their poll numbers hadn’t been affected too much or even perversely buoyed up as they made speeches about how they helped curb the worst of the Trumpian “abuses”! /s

RHambo learned how to counter all this from zero. He simply changes the topic to “welcome all illegals and makes Chicago a sanctuary city.” Most mayors have figured out once they claim a city is a “sanctuary city” anything goes. They can do criminal acts, kill, deal drugs, you name it. And just claim the illegals have to live so its OK.
What the hard left cabal rulers who run these places,Chicago,NYC,LA and elsewhere get away with is unbelievable.
My guess is we hear about half or less of the real crime that goes on.
.................................
The Associated Press - MIAMI (AP) — Attorney General Jeff Sessions vowed Wednesday to continue fighting cities, like Portland and Chicago, that refuse to cooperate with immigration authorities until local governments follow Miami-Dade County’s example and reverse policies.

Sessions aimed much of his frustration at Chicago, which last week sued President Donald Trump’s administration for denying federal grant money to cities that don’t share information with immigration officials.

“This state of lawlessness allows gangs to smuggle guns, drugs, and even humans, across borders and around cities and communities. Sanctuary jurisdictions provide safe harbor for some of the most dangerous criminals in our country,” Sessions said at an event in the Port of Miami.

...60 people have been shot, with 9 killed...

Holy cow, that IS a horrifying statistic. Immediate and pervasive intervention is needed to improve both marksmanship and caliber choice!

I think Rahm’s plan is brilliant, let the thugs kill each other off until there’s no one left. Sure there is collateral damage but eventually the criminal element will be gone.......

Pretty bad, but there is no hysteria over it, because there is no Whitey around that they can possibly blame.
