Top Chicago Cop Targets Palin
IBD Editorials ^ | June 27, 2011 | Staff

Gun Control: Chicago's new police superintendent blames Alaska's ex-governor for inner-city gun violence and crime, and says gun-rights advocates are racist. Disarming victims doesn't prevent crime, sir.

Speaking to the choir, literally, about gun control, Garry McCarthy, former police chief of Newark, N.J., told an audience at St. Sabina Church in the Windy City about leaving a homicide scene in Newark, returning home and flipping on the TV to find an episode of "Sarah Palin's Alaska."

"She was caribou hunting and talking about the right to bear arms," McCarthy said. "Why wasn't she at the crime scene with me?"

We know. We don't see the connection between hunting and gang violence either, but gun-control advocates do.

Sarah Palin was not at that crime scene because she had nothing to do with the crime. As a defender of the Second Amendment and the right to keep and bear arms, she is like the vast majority of law-abiding gun-owning Americans who never fire or even point their gun in anger, unless someone's trying to break into their house.

I'd like to remind this jerk about the death of 16-year-old Derrion Albert, who was beaten to death in a South Side area in which Obama did community organizing. He wasn't shot. He was beaten to death.

The point? The point is that violent people kill other people, and they do it with whatever happens to be handy. Further, one of the things that fuels the type of hatred that leads people to harm others is class envy. For the record, class envy can be within or between racial groups.

By perpetuating class envy, liberals are fueling violence much, much, much more than any gun rights advocate ever could.

She could wade in the blood of the punk laying dead and it would make no difference. These killers put the KKK to shame.

Can this guy be more contradictory? How do laws facilitate illegal firearms? The intent of making something illegal is to prevent it’s sale and possession, not the opposite. That’s the very definition of illegal.

That doesn’t change because the laws don’t work in the real world. There is no guarantee that any law will prevent anything, especially if criminals refuse to obey it. In this case it only prevents law abiding citizens from owning guns to protect themselves.

So where is McCarthy when a criminal with no respect for the law shoots a citizen who can’t own a firearm legally? Oh yeah, that’s right: when seconds count, cops are only minutes away.

It has been done by other ethnic groups in the past. Police would not even patrol certain areas of NYC when the Irish gangs were in control. Chicago was in near anarchy in the 1880s at time and citizens had to hire supplemental police forces or arm to patrol their neighborhoods. Life in Moscow during the 1700s practically stopped at nightfall as the streets became too dangerous to go about in.

Race has little to do with it over time. Today that race just happens to be black. When one knows and understands a big city life can be great when one does not it can be rough. Fortunately, I know this one like the back of my hand.

That is correct,and this Irishman needs to lay off the Jack Daniels so he does not sound like too many other Chief's a besotted,alcohol addled nutball. They need to put him in rehab,and take his weapon away asap.

They just haven’t run into the right fella or group of fellas yet....

The advent of the internet and alternative news sources has allowed people to become informed and forewarned, and by doing so, forearmed.

We have been having problems here in St. Louis with a little “game” called Knockout Kings, it may be called other things across the nation, but the premise is the same. Sucker punch, mostly whites, and see who can knock them out. It is usually done with a group. Last month, a elderly Korean guy was murdered by a kid doing this and his wife beat as well.

The courts may recognize that a man can go fisticuffs with a man roughly his age and size, more or less. But they don’t expect you to fight five. Mr. (Insert name, caliber, and nomenclature) may be the difference between you being the next victim of Knockout Kings and the guy saying “Officer, I had to, I just knew they were going to kill me, I was afraid for my life and my families life.”

This is why I encourage those who shoot, to learn how to shoot from the ground and also standing with the weapon tucked at waistlevel with your support hand out to fend off an assailant to create the time and distance needed to deal with the threat. Remember, contact shots are devastating because much of the gases are injected into the wound.

The only ones that have illegal firearms are criminals. McCarthy is to ignorant to see that

Speaking to the choir, literally, about gun control, Garry McCarthy, former police chief of Newark, N.J., told an audience at St. Sabina Church in the Windy City about leaving an automobile accident in Newark, returning home and flipping on the TV to find an episode of "Sarah Palin's Alaska."

"She was driving her car and talking about the right to drive," McCarthy said. "Why wasn't she at the accident scene with me?"

What an idiot.... Make up your own version and post it for our amusement.

This guy is saying that black people can't be trusted with guns, which seems sort of racist.

Actually, this murder was in Newark. Speaking of Newark, McCarthy’s police force failed to notice the body of an innocent bystander at a murder scene for 12 hours.

Betcha Sarah would have noticed the body.
