Rahm Emanuel couldn’t manage a Taco Bell let alone a major city. His results are clear.

Emanuel can’t manage himself. He couldn’t manage Green Acres much less Chicago.

Since most of the murders appear to be black on black gangbangers, the possibility is that nobody cares except undertakers

Please do not insult Green Acres.
The values and compassionate concern by people there are an inspiration compared with the total devolution to subhuman status of the murderous thug tsunami since Rahm took over.

I know you didn’t mean it so I forgive you in advance.
I own the complete DVD Green Acres.

Rahm did end the old Chicago block parties which had string quartets as well as polkas ,and country music playing.

He wanted to end violins in the streets.

I couldn’t remember the name of the town Opy grew up in with Andy Griffith, so settled for Green Acres.

"Rahm did end the old Chicago block parties..."

That doesn't sound very civil nor neighborhood friendly.

OH, no, now it’s Mayberry, too??
Have you no shame, sir? (said infamously to the great man Joe McCarthy. McCarthy was right, of course.)

Only joshing with you.

Books have been written about the American values shown on The Andy Griffith Show’s Mayberry. People from out of own are the shady criminals (like today’s illegal aliens).

Mayberry My Home Town (1990) is one. book.

When did Rahm start caring about anyone past the end of his own nose?

Rham had no problems.

His reason for being Mayor was to steal money from the US Treasury.

That’s a popular misconception that the majority of crime is black on black.

Chicago is a major Mexican cartel hub for narcotics distribution and if you want to break it down on a racial basis (Of course black on black crime exists.) it is a much a battle between black and Mexicans/Latinos for the right to distribute to much of the mid-west as it is anything else.

I don’t think the majority of the nation just knows that Chicago’s street crime is international in nature and it’s moved from rival gangs selling crack on this corner to another to who is going to control the ebb and flow of billions of dollars in opioids to a third of the country.

You don’t end up with 600+ murders a year over $20 crack. At that point even the most hardened street thug calls it a days and goes to work flipping burgers.

The problem is political will and media consequences. There is no political will to engage in the media consequences of hauling off 6,000 blacks and 6,000 Latinos in the face of the faux outrage from the media and ACLU to solve the issues at hand.

WOW! 0bama’s Golden Boy is on his way out?

MAGA! :)

P.S. I’m not holding out for some sort of turn-around for Chicago, though. Too bad. It used to be such a Toddlin’ Town! ;)

A lot of big cities have been voting in Democratic rulers for years on vague promises they will be provide for and haven’t been. They are now degenerating into turf battle grounds and the Democrats have no ideas on how to reverse that except by making more promises they have no idea on how to fulfill..

Now will Rahm move on out to some other town for a high-paying job? It will have to be some place that is either all Democrats or nobody knows who he is.

intentionally misclassifying murders as non-murders.

SOP in Chicago forever. I could name half a dozen murders each year just in my neighborhood alone back in the 60s and 70s. And none of them made the murder statistic. This includes murders by police; murders by street gangs; murders by adult gangs; and murders by loners.

Your statement is literally true. I'm sure he could NOT manage a fast food restaurant of any sort.
