Once again a reference to ‘gun violence’ as opposed to ‘thug violence’, or to use a less pejorative term human violence. Now if large numbers of thugs are coming up from Mississippi and creating mayhem, I can see the mayor’s point. Is that the case? I thought not.

So, mayor dipsh!t, why isn’t gun violence out of control in Mississippi?

[stremba]

If the problem really is lax gun laws in Mississippi, then why isn’t gun viience even more prevalent in Mississippi than it is in Chicago? Where are all the murders in Jackson, Tupelo, and Biloxi?

That is the “Way of the Rat”:

blame others for things you did or didn’t do. . . congenital liars, ALL of them.

[rktman]

That could be part of the problem.

They NEVER take responsibility for their insanity.

The entire premise of their ideology is that no one is responsible for *anything*.

Everything is caused by gigantic social forces, which they are the only ones wise enough to see and guide.

The guns get on the northbound City of New Orleans in Mississippi and get off in Chicago. The guns are just visiting and the gangs kidnap them and force them to do crime.

Is that what happens, Mayor Lightheaded? 😋

David Kennedy has shown that a targeted approach works well to reduce murder rates, and even to shut down drug markets.

But, the approach has to have a buy-in by the political leadership, including the police.

If you do not maintain it, the violence returns to the old status-quo.

The current BLM ideology directly increases the violence and prevents Kennedy's targeted approach from being used.

It isn't just putting people in jail. They just get replaced.

It is making the police response understood and reliable.

It is building trust in the violent neighborhoods that the police will do what they say they will do, especially when they say they will arrest people and lock them up.

It is impossible to do that with a prosecutor like Kim Foxx.

Groot is an incompetent buffoon. Going to turn Chicago back into a dump that I grew up in during the 70s and 80s.

Chicago can only blame Chicago for their gun violence problem. The democrats have been in control there for a long, long time. They have done nothing but pass useless gun control measures. They must stop trying to blame everybody else for their problem and start doing something positive. All across this country, in cities where they have been in control, there are serious problems and they keep trying to blame someone else.
