An increase in shootings due to a supposed gang war in Chicago has led community leaders to propose a radical new solution to violent crime.
In a proposal called “The People’s Ordinance,” community group Native Sons asks that city gangsters refrain from firing guns at one another between daylight hours of 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.
“We have to start somewhere,” co-founder of Native Sons Tatiana Atkins told CWB Chicago. “Our goal is to approach our city’s gun violence problem strategically and not all at once. Things didn’t become this way overnight, and change won’t happen overnight."
The ordinance was promoted via email by Chicago Alderwoman Maria Hadden, who identifies herself on her website as the first "Black, queer woman" to serve on the Chicago City Council. A flyer on the ordinance instructs gangsters to “protect the youth no sliding while the sun is out.” Featured on the flyer is a fence painted with the world “Don’t shoot! I want to grow up.”
Promoted Links SEI Club, Cupid for the Ultra-Affluent SEI Club Atkins said the purpose of the ordinance is to prevent glorifying the criminal lifestyle.
“Under this ordinance, we ask that people stop associating with and glorifying’ shooters,’ stop glorifying ‘switches,’ and stop wearing those ski masks everywhere which perpetuates you as some ‘opp,'” Atkins said. “When those who live a certain lifestyle try to hang with ‘regular’ class citizens, they put everyone at risk.”
City leadership has repeatedly failed to quell crime in Chicago. In August, Mayor Brandon Johnson downplayed the looting of a 7-Eleven store by 40 teenagers, saying “we are not talking about mob actions.” He also likened such actions to “silly decisions.”
A February report showed that Chicago led the nation in homicides in 2022, ahead of Philadelphia, New York City, Houston and Los Angeles.
Great idea. I’ll fly to Chicago this weekend and reinforce the request in person. I’ll probably start on the South side. I’m sure they won’t mind.
I thought this was a Bee post.......but these dumbos are “for real.”
As long as it’s not white people doing the killing, they don’t care.

Stupid people are the most dangerous people of all.

This is what ‘Negotiating from a self imposed position of weakness’ looks like.
“Yo, South Side Gang!!!! We be meet at park at 9:05 PM and start...We be git in trouble if we shoot befo’ then...”
This, and a curfew will have gun violence whipped in no time.

In case you cant aspire to this degree of Chicago dumbness,
the purpose of the ordinance is to deglorify the criminal lifestyle.
Inspirational leadership from Chicongo.
Soon we will have an urban culture where all the law biding citizens hurry to get indoors before sundown, because the night belongs to the jungle. Chicago just wants to make it official.
Why don’t you invite them all to the closest stadium and SELL Tickets to Americans that want to watch all the gang bangers kill each other.
Is”sliding” a gang term or slang?
ROTFLOL..... I all most died laughing
Yeah...They all sit around the clock waiting for the right time...They’re drinking coffee and smoking and joking around just waiting for the right time...
The city council members need to go out at night and just walk right up to a bunch of gang members and ask them politely to stop doing bad things. Then they could let some of them live in their houses so they wouldn’t have to be homeless and wonder where their next meal is coming from. Show them the way so you don’t look like a bunch of hypocrites!
I wouldn’t want to get caught in the crossfire. Gang bangers are poor shots.
It’s a fact: 50% of Americans have below average intelligence.
