chip Posted June 20, 2013 at 05:53 AM Posted June 20, 2013 at 05:53 AM Seriously...he lives there and doesn't know what the problem is....or what the solution is? http://www.myfoxchicago.com/story/22619240/chicago-at-the-tipping-point-city-violence-escalates-residents-desperate-for-solution?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=9002507
Johnnychgo Posted June 20, 2013 at 08:40 AM Posted June 20, 2013 at 08:40 AM Millions here don't know what the problem is. The impoverished sections of the city have been taken over by the Guzman drug cartel's 7 billion dollar drug business. Much like Miami during the 70's was dominated by Cuban cartels making it the crime capital of the U.S. then. The Guzman Cartel's leader "El Choppo" builds schools and hospitals in his region in Mexico. He has also provided electricity and water to remote areas that didn't have before. He has a huge network in Chicago with sales reps, warehouse men, security forces etc. I agree it can only take Federal action to solve this problem at this point just like it did in Miami. Chicago being the transportation hub that it is was perfect for the drug business. It is also one of the most segregated cities in the world which allows access to the minority gang network the cartel needs to do it's bidding. See post below. Solution? Stop the illegal drugs coming into the city the gangs are fighting over control of. You can always keep marching down the street holding hands singing "Com By Ya" and see how far that gets ya! http://illinoiscarry.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=33438&st=30#entry387239

The more and more I learn about Chicago, the less time I want to spend there. My wife likes to visit certain areas from time to time. I'll admit, there are locations about the city that I do like. But the list of negatives, in my book, trumps any positive that would draw me there. I have an incredibly hard time supporting a city (visiting, spending money there) that is responsible for nearly every piece of crap legislation and policy in this state. Not to mention it's the original home for a plethora of worthless politicians that are ruining the rest of the state.
largefarva Posted June 20, 2013 at 10:53 AM Posted June 20, 2013 at 10:53 AM Chicago isn't a place I have any desire to ever visit. I'm an hour away and can't be bothered to go there for any reason what so ever. I've only lived in Illinois for about six years now, and in that time span I've gone to Chicago a grand total of once (aside of when I've had to go there for my previous job). My wife and I were there for maybe 20 minutes before we hopped back in my truck and got out of there. It really is the armpit of Illinois....probably the entire midwest.
IL-Logical Posted June 20, 2013 at 11:07 AM Posted June 20, 2013 at 11:07 AM um wouldn't bringing in the national guard violate posi comatatus (sp?)? Does anyone else see the irony too? Deal with the crime problem by bringing more armed people into the city? Can't arm the law abiding people though.
karim18 Posted June 20, 2013 at 11:27 AM Posted June 20, 2013 at 11:27 AM um wouldn't bringing in the national guard violate posi comatatus (sp?)? Does anyone else see the irony too? Deal with the crime problem by bringing more armed people into the city? Can't arm the law abiding people though. Technically speaking, the federal government sees the "National Guard" as the "State Malitia"... though in all reality, it is not.
karim18 Posted June 20, 2013 at 11:29 AM Posted June 20, 2013 at 11:29 AM NOTE: That is not making a negative comment against the National Guard... they have fought and lost men just as much as the Army and Marine Corps in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
Livewire18 Posted June 20, 2013 at 11:41 AM Posted June 20, 2013 at 11:41 AM They need to bring in the National Guard with a "shoot to kill gang bangers" agreement. That will help the most. If you don't want to be dead, don't be a banger! we need equal protection in the south and west side, just like lincoln parkummm.. you have more cops, than lincoln park, you just have a lot more gangs. a large number of the people being shot are innocent bystanders... I call BS on this. I think the majority of the people being shot are gang members.
C0untZer0 Posted June 20, 2013 at 11:51 AM Posted June 20, 2013 at 11:51 AM Part of the problem is not assigning responsibility to where it belongs - failed social programs that incent people to have children but provide no incentives for taking care of and raising children. Failed social programs that provide free money and free stuff to people with no accountability or controls to ensure the money is being spent on children and not drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, trips to the casino and nail salons. The Chicago democrats are on a quest to assign responsibility anywhere except where it belongs - with the people committing the crimes. They talk about things being at fault - guns, drugs. They don't talk about the people being at fault because it blows up their whole premise for social engineering - pouring billions of tax payer money into programs to help the poor and underprivileged. If you can keep pulling the wool over taxpayers eyes and keep telling them that guns and drugs are ravaging the inner city neighborhoods - then they'll keep allowing politicians to dip into their pocket books. There is a lot less sympathy though when taxpayers realize that the mothers in those neighborhoods don't give a **** about the babies they've given birth too, don't spend the welfare checks on taking care of those children, that the people in those neighborhoods have a hatred of the police and don't cooperate with police. they collectively cover up crimes which occur daily, and that a large number of the welfare recipients are themselves criminals... Ya, tax payers become a lot less willing to keep shelling out money to propagate that. So you have to blame objects to keep the sympathy and willingness intact. Why talk about the National Guard? Because if you look at the problems with the police taking care of this problem it brings up unpleasant facts that Chicago democrats don't want to address: Arresting the sons and nephews and grandsons of the constituents and risking angering the constituents. Those constituents also do not want to take responsibility for the plight of their neighborhoods. The residents of the neighborhoods themselves want to blame things like drugs, guns, institutional racism, economic injustice - and everything else under the sun for the problems in their neighborhoods, when really - the problem is them and the choices they make. When Chicago politicians look at the problem, besides risking pissing off their valuable constituents they are also faced with 1) Hiring more police officers (in terms of patronage dollars it is not money well-spent)2) Spending money on police equipment3) Building prisons None of which they want to do - so morons like Dunkin bloviate about bringing in the National Guard... .
DownButNotOut Posted June 20, 2013 at 12:06 PM Posted June 20, 2013 at 12:06 PM Did anyone else catch Duncan's statement "a rare uptick in gun violence" - @ 2:35.. And stop calling it gun violence, it's gang violence!
snooter Posted June 20, 2013 at 12:25 PM Posted June 20, 2013 at 12:25 PM Griselda Blanco is who rahm should hire for this problem..it would be dealt with..griselda would have it cleaned up in about a week or so
Ccc2003 Posted June 20, 2013 at 12:43 PM Posted June 20, 2013 at 12:43 PM Even with C C until the dem power is gone it will only get worse,remember the pics of The Gov with the 60 year old vice lords in the papers a few months ago.The gangs help keep them in power.they even got fed money to give to the gangs years ago,because they were turning a new leaf. Chicago is a big joke,unless your bank acc goes up every month,by turning a blind eye to what is going on.

patriot1776 Posted June 20, 2013 at 01:18 PM Posted June 20, 2013 at 01:18 PM The politicians keep pushing people out of Chicago with high prices , that even effects Illinoisans from venturing there . All that will be left , rich people and drug dealers , so who pays for everything ? The rest of the state , when Chicago becomes Detroit . Even drug addicts don't need to venture to Chicago to buy drugs . The National Guard , really ? Time for the politicians to fix this with real solutions , Rahm is spending millions in Police overtime , how long can that last ? Deploying the Guard is free , right ? The video is being made right now to show students in College , how not to run a business or government , the title is Illinois .
patriot1776 Posted June 20, 2013 at 01:22 PM Posted June 20, 2013 at 01:22 PM June 14 th. crime wave ? Just wait , by the end of the year , June 14 will be remembered as a ripple , the real wave is yet to come .
blazzinbird Posted June 20, 2013 at 01:27 PM Posted June 20, 2013 at 01:27 PM Chicago, Detroit redux 2.0
SAXD9 Posted June 20, 2013 at 01:39 PM Posted June 20, 2013 at 01:39 PM I have often said that the National Guard should be sent in there to clean house. Too bad the National Guard is controlled by the Governor.
BobPistol Posted June 20, 2013 at 01:44 PM Posted June 20, 2013 at 01:44 PM A "modest solution" to gang violence. Institute a special hunting license for hunting gangbangers. If someone flashes a gang sign, you are permitted to shoot them. Of course this will never happen. They don't want democrat voters to be killed. They only want republican voters or non-Machine voters to be killed.

Smittyp83 Posted June 20, 2013 at 04:16 PM Posted June 20, 2013 at 04:16 PM Any National Guardsmen who are deployed into the city will become instant targets. They will have bounties on their heads from the gang leaders and will be used by the shorties to make their bones with the OG's. These guardsmen would no doubt be deployed WITHOUT weapons as they were along the US/Mexico border. They will be sitting ducks. If they are armed, they will create a police state within the city limits. Think Northern Ireland, Korea, former East Germany, with checkpoints and razor wire to get to your house. I honestly believe it will not be the National Guard we will see but the DHS police with their assault weapons and MRAPS, putting the latter scenario into place.
defaultdotxbe Posted June 20, 2013 at 04:24 PM Posted June 20, 2013 at 04:24 PM we need to consider calling in the National Guard or the state police, where citizens can be protected," Dunkin said.Translation: "Too many bad guys have guns, we need more good guys with guns."
cm.stites Posted June 20, 2013 at 04:25 PM Posted June 20, 2013 at 04:25 PM sounds to me like chicago needs to hire a better police force and superintendent.....not the isp's job to come in and do thier job for em.

jlowrie Posted June 20, 2013 at 04:38 PM Posted June 20, 2013 at 04:38 PM One of my friends in the Army stepped in during the 1992 LA riots. At that time he was in the Marines at Camp Pendelton. A police officer asked my friend's fire team to "cover him" as he knocked on the door to a house where a man was holding a woman hostage. When the hostage taker fired through the door at the police officer, it became very evident that the LEO version of "cover me" varies significantly with the Marine version. Calling in the NG is a really bad idea, A better solution would be to hire surrounding area LEO as special police and clean up, but that would be a great expense that I don't think the Rahm father wants to take on. Plus it would cut into the machine's voting base.
vezpa Posted June 20, 2013 at 05:30 PM Posted June 20, 2013 at 05:30 PM The governor designates Chicago a State of Emergency and brings in the guard. CCW will be null in Chicago because of this. Does anything in our bill keep this from happening? I know a few soutnern states had this happen during Hurricanes so those states quickly passed new laws barring them from banning CCW during times of crisis. I can't figure out how McCarthy still has a job. Emanuel probably can't replace him because they can't find anyone who can lie better..
