Since Obama became President, despite his pen and phone, over five hundred people have been slaughtered in Chicago. The Federal government has done virtually nothing.
500?
Isn’t it more like 1,800
300 per year x 5 years
If it's only 500 in Chicago in 5+ years, they would be overjoyed. They average 400-500 per year. (In 1974, they peaked at 970 murders. In 1994, they rose back up to 931.)
It has to be well over 2000 in Obama's presidential tenure.
(To be honest, Chicago averaging 450 since 2004 is pretty excellent. They averaged 770+ for the 3 decades before that.)
The neighborhoods of Washington Park, East Garfield Park, and especially Fuller Park have likely totalled 500 by themselves since 2008.
Why on earth would we want to Feds involved in the Chicago mess? That is the job of the local and state governments.
The Feds will only make this worse. This is always the results of any actions they take for any reason, anywhere.
Met a lady yesterday who was visited by the EPA and they decided to put her out of business for washing cars because the water did not run into state approved drainage. She has been washing cars there for over 20 years with no problems locally. Sounds like a former employee or a competitor decided to settle a score and used the Feds to do it.
The Feds turn everything they touch to crap and I would be ashamed to be employed by them.
