At least five people have been killed and 30 others injured in shootings across Chicago over Labor Day weekend, including a drive-by attack that left seven victims wounded late Saturday night, according to police.
The violent holiday weekend came as President Donald Trump renewed threats to send federal agents and National Guard troops to Chicago over the objections of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.
Trump on Saturday sent a warning to the Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker in a post on his social media platform, referencing recent crime in Chicago and saying Pritzker "better straighten it out, FAST, or we're coming!"
Illinois Gov. Pritzker, a Democrat, responded in a news conference a week ago to an earlier Trump threat to "straighten out Chicago, just like we did D.C.," by saying that the president's plan was "unprecedented and unwarranted. It is illegal, it is unconstitutional, it is un-American."

I will apply the old Detroit joke to Chicago.
In most places if someone hears a loud bang outside they rush to the window to look to see what’s going on.
In Chicago, everyone just instantly hits the floor.
The Mayor has no problem with the shootings and murders he lives in an Ivory Tower
Zone 8 is better. So far in five minutes identified a shooter from yesterday, come get him. Three domestic batteries, One drag racing, And one stabbing.

The Second City Cop blog will sure be running with this one...
I would like a scene where Brandon and Pritzker are mouthing off against Trump and how safe Chicago is, followed by a hail of crossfire and screams of victims dropping.
Like the great Patton scene of the guy bragging about how safe they are from Germans violating their airspace.

The people of Chicago are entitled to equal protection under the law.
The Governor and the Mayor are unable, or unwilling to grant them that protection.

And there is still one day left!
All the wordsmithing Newspeak out of the Ministry of Communication can't cover up this insanity.
Woah!!! Woah!!! Woah!!! Cool your jets, Patriots!
This a three day weekend! Let’s not discount the murdery potential on tap for tonight.
So far, these were all honkeys, right?
How can Chicago (and other Bluetopias) maintain any bond ratings and insurance? One would think that this crap would be costing them bigly?
And the weekend isn’t over yet.
Mayor: "They got better!"
The long weekend is not done yet, still have tonight and through Monday night.
Police said a man was found with a gunshot wound at 12:24 a.m. Tuesday — he was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he died. The death ends the Trump administration’s vaunted zero-homicide streak, which began on Aug. 13, two days after President Donald Trump announced his federalization of the capital and one day after the deployment of the National Guard.
I tend to agree with you. The people in hellholes like Chicago need help. But the Founders put the 10th Amendment in the Bill of Rights for a reason. The Federal government should not have unlimited power to intervene in state problems.
Chicago today is a mess. But it’s also a city and state problem. It would become a federal problem when there is uncontrolled mass rioting, with gangs battling each other in the streets.
As bad as Chicago is, we aren’t there yet.
Gotta get your hublnting done before the NG shows up and starts shooting( straight) back. Its not fun shooting when the other guy shoots back without closing his eyes at every trigger pull.
Should say "renewed offer"
Maybe you should buy a Lotto ticket with the number 35 in it also. lol
