Pushing for a new approach to combat Chicago’s gun violence, Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin has announced plans to seek international help by appealing to the United Nations on Thursday. Boykin said he's going to ask the U.N. to come to Chicago to meet with minority communities. "Look, this gun violence in Chicago is still out of control. Quite frankly, we’ve got too many young people of color who are being killed by gun violence. And of course it’s a genocide that’s not being talked about nationwide or even here in Chicago," Boykin said. Boykin isn’t getting specific about what exactly he thinks the United Nations can do. But he says city and state leaders must make a total commitment to eliminating poverty, proving job opportunities and improving schools. ... As of Wednesday morning, 814 fewer people have been shot and there have been 624 homicides in Chicago, down 15 percent compared to 734 on this date last year. But carjackings have surged ....

Nanook Posted December 14, 2017 at 02:17 AM Share Posted December 14, 2017 at 02:17 AM He references 'people of color'. That's also who is doing most of the crimes in Chicago. How would the historically ineffective UN going to help? They've been a clown circus for most of their existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCrMn Posted December 14, 2017 at 05:15 AM Share Posted December 14, 2017 at 05:15 AM Chicago could try locking up the violent criminals.I know, sounds crazy, but it might work.They could give it 25-30 years and see if the crime rate goes down.If not then they can let all the criminals back out on the streets and try something else.

gmk Posted December 14, 2017 at 11:26 AM Share Posted December 14, 2017 at 11:26 AM Yes, the UN has done such a fine job in all of the locations it has done it's peace keeping. Africa comes to mind. Yes, a bold solution. Oh, no need to worry about all of the corruption that comes along, Chicago would be perfect place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmyers Posted December 14, 2017 at 11:54 AM Share Posted December 14, 2017 at 11:54 AM We should make a deal, Cooke County can bring in the UN only if we get to de-annex Cooke County from the rest of the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C0untZer0 Posted December 14, 2017 at 01:53 PM Share Posted December 14, 2017 at 01:53 PM Illinois and Chicago gun control and social programs failed so we're going to institute UN gun control and UN social programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted December 14, 2017 at 02:01 PM Share Posted December 14, 2017 at 02:01 PM Could it be that Chicago/Cook co is too afraid to talk to our federal government? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0untZer0 Posted December 14, 2017 at 03:19 PM Share Posted December 14, 2017 at 03:19 PM I think its part political grandstanding, virtue posturing works with those constituents and Boykin is going to challenge Prekwinkle for Cook County Board President. I think its part knee jerk grievance industry tactics - tactics which have worked for decades - scream racism, make a big fuss and people will pay you to quiet down. Since Chicago and Illinois are broke - Boykin would be aiming for more Federal money. Maybe part of it too is opening the door for the Marxists in the U.N. to embarrass a died-in-the-wool capitalist like Trump. I'm sure the leftists in this country would love for the U.N. to say that Chicago's problems are due to inequity and lack of adequate wealth redistribution. That would make their day.

Jeffrey Posted December 14, 2017 at 03:30 PM Share Posted December 14, 2017 at 03:30 PM And more fed money Boykin could get so long as you follow fed rules. Choosing which laws you want to follow has been the Chicago way since day 1. Chicago would love to be more like the EU. Thank goodness for still having some republicans still in our state.

BigJim Posted December 14, 2017 at 03:42 PM Share Posted December 14, 2017 at 03:42 PM Would the UN blue helmets have any legal power over U.S. citizens within the U.S.? Could a UN peace keeper arrest or detain or search someone? Could they give you an order you would have to obey and what if you simply ignored them and walked away? If you were legally carrying could they confiscate your sidearm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRJ Posted December 14, 2017 at 06:03 PM Share Posted December 14, 2017 at 06:03 PM I was always under the impression that the United Nations would be employed to round them up once the 2nd falls and laws pass banning every last privately owned bullet. Sending blue helmets to the doors to uphold laws many in our police and military would not choose to enforce. To them we're exactly who Hillary said we are...deplorable. They'd have no problem kicking our doors, shooting our dogs and us just because. Never mind they'd all be speaking German or simply not exist it weren't for those American hillbillies that saved their *****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he talked to Superintendent Johnson about that. Has Boykin gotten the warring sides to agree to bringing in these Peace Keepers? Has he even identified who the warring sides are, or just the victims? That would be awesome if he'd identify the warring sides, otherwise, he's just a grandstanding poser.

C0untZer0 Posted December 15, 2017 at 12:40 AM Share Posted December 15, 2017 at 12:40 AM I'm thinking more and more that this really is the way to go. Boykin doesn't seem to be aware of the U.S. Constitution at all, so - y'know hey screw it. If Boykin and other African American politicians want to bring the military in, then let's bring the military in. Cordon off Chicago's worst neighborhoods, set up military check points and search everyone going in or out and do a door-to-door search of every house, oh, and arrest anyone with an outstanding warrant while they're at it. Set a curfew and shoot anyone who disobeys the curfew. The weekly killing will stop after just 5 days. I think that's what Boykin has in mind, although I could be wrong...
