[ “Rahm’s words do nothing for that family,” Livingston said of a mother of a 17-year-old shot and killed over the weekend amid the violence. ]
Funny, we all had such high hopes for Obama’s hand-picked ballerina.....(who’s got the pic?)
Why?
You kept the democrats in power for 60 unbroken years.
Now eat your peas.
Trump should not send the National Guard to Obammie-land. Under no circumstances. He would be falling into a trap, as this is exactly what Rahm and the Rats want.
If the Rats want to clean up their own mess, fine. Let them. They created it, they own it.
Is there a problem? Gun control is working just fine in Chicago. Just fine....
Chicago?
I thought they were referring to Eisenhower’s Operation Wet Back.
Wouldn’t that be a violation of Posse Comitatus?
This would be an incredible mistake.
The Chicago police need to deal with this. This is nothing like what Eisenhower did. The NG troops were sent in to keep the peace, and diffuse what could be an explosive situation.
Sending the NG is in effect, sending them into a war zone. The dems would LOVE to see troops sent by President Trump open fire on poor, oppressed minorities.
The National Guard are NOT peace officers.

Do you see Obama returning to the South Side of Chicago soon? He's worth north of $50 million now. You think he's going to redistribute his own wealth with the folks in the West and South Sides of Chicago? "Reinvest" into his old stomping grounds?
When things turn to crap, the finger is always pointed at the Federal Government for not disbursing enough funds, or not paying for this program or funding that job training program, etc. ALL OF THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM.
Get rid of the welfare state and drastically reduce taxes and none of this crap would be happening now. Black men fathering six kids by four different women would become more responsible and get a job. Secure the borders which would eliminate the drug trade.
a) Eisenhower did not send troops to fight street gangs
and
b) He did not sent the National Guard.
“...Trump, send the National Guard down here. “
Why should he? Your mayor...who you voted for...declared it a Trump free zone. Trump tried to hold a rally in your shithole and Emanuel had the police stand down while antifa ruined it and made him cancel. I wouldn’t give Chicago the steam off a San Francisco sidewalk turd.
A proper use of the national guard was in the early 50s in Phenix City, AL.
The local authorities were so corrupt that it was necessary to declare martial law.
when the democrat future president became mayor of chicago, he should have hired a 1,000 more cops. Then as murders decreases, he could have reduced the number of cops through retirements and no one would be laid off.
Shoulda, woulda, coulda.
Or, do it like Lincoln: declare Chicago in “rebellion” and send in federal troops to burn down cities.
Then suspend habeas corpus; shut down opposition newspapers; and arrest quarrelsome legislators.
Here are some darts and a 2016 presidential electoral map.
Now let’s play “find an urban war zone”.
Naturally, don’t bother aiming at anything other than blue, especially that one right in the middle that stands out so clearly in a sea of red.
Screw Chicago. Vote fraud, welfare fraud, nanny state, corruption out the wazoo. Let them croak.
Trump should let them wallow in their Progressive Utopia. The front lines should consist of the Cook County Sheriff, Illinois State Troopers, as a last resort, the Illinois National Guard. The Chicago Police Dept. should be considered part of the problem and disbanded.
The National Guard would not be allowed to shoot so they would be sitting ducks to some very bad people.
Hell no.
The problem is that cops across the country have retired in place due to being angry about the valid criticism about their lack of training and the blowback from them killing unarmed people.
Not a federal problem. Deal with your mess Chicago.
