Marauding Gangs in the Windy City

Posted on 08/19/2009 12:25:43 PM PDT by Kozman

Chicago-based financial analyst Janet Tavakoli writes that civil unrest is escalating in the great city of Chicago, as the downturn, and reckless spending, squeeze the city budget.

Janet sends along this double action clip. First it shows a gang fight in the middle of a street, followed by angry residents chasing the local alderman, Helen Shiller, down the street. They chase her down the street yelling, "Run Helen run!"... In the upscale Lincoln Park area, just a little further south of [the above] unrest, men alone at night have been accosted by groups of three to six men and severely beaten, robbed, and hospitalized this summer...

Do Baraq, Rev. Wright, Rezko, and Ayers live in a “green zone” type enclave?

Good thing that in Chicago, it is almost impossible to get a gun. Otherwise, someone might get hurt.

I assume the "idiots" have been hired thru ACORN to operate the camps.

We need more politicians running from angry voter mobs!

I’m actually surprised that U.S. cities haven’t experienced more riots this summer...

Will somebody please give some of those little mobs the exact address of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn?

Can you imagine what's going to happen in these big cities next summer as the recession intensifies?

What Chicago needs is to elect MORE Democrats! Say, what’s Rod Blagovich doing these days?

Baraq was in a safe area before he moved to the White House. It’s even better now, with Chicago’s Finest guarding it. I don’t know where the Rev. Wright used to live, but now that he’s retired, he’s in a gated community in the southwest suburbs (courtesy of the good folks at Trinity UCC, I believe.) Rezko was in Winnetka (his house is up for sale and they expect to get only $4 million.) Don’t know about Ayers, but I expect he’s okay too.

This activity is unusual for Chicago, at least it was until very recently. Almost all of these men were attacked from behind and could not identify their attackers. This crime is now commonplace at night in this prosperous neighborhood.
Recently...as in, during the first 200 days in the president's office of the mother of all Chicago community organizers, Mr. Hope and Change himself, Mr. Post-Racial America, the Great Uniter?
