It’s a War Zone! More Murders in Chicago in 2012 Than Allied Losses in Afghanistan
The Gatway Pundit ^ | 1/13/13 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 01/12/2013 11:04:25 PM PST by Nachum

There were 405 Coalition deaths in Afghanistan in 2012. 310 of the 405 deaths were Americans.

Meanwhile in Chicago… There were 532 homicides in 2012.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel attributes the rise in homicides, in part, to the broader problem of illegal guns.

Yes, it’s those guns, NOT democrat rule for decades nor the unconscionable culture that passes for civilization.

And while I’m at it, never mind those Chicago government schools, ruled by that Teacher’s Union we witnessed in 2012. To say they’re overpaid, is a gross understatement and a complete waste of taxpayer money.

If Chicago were a foreign country the State Dept. would issue a travel ban
and 0bama would watch the mayhem from the WH Ready Room.

Just goes to show that they had Defensive weapons in Afghanistan so the injury ratio was less than Chicago.

Illegal drugs must be booming in Chicago.

Time to go door to door to confiscate the illegal drugs.

Gotta be all those white suburbanite men with their AR15s killing each other over dandelions and unmowed lawns.

Funny how there’s no concern over *that* “gun violence. Don’t believe me?

“Criminals aren’t the problem. Citizens who have legal guns then shoot children are the problems

(link redacted)

why are people so worried about street crime, when this is not the problem at hand.
Street crime in NYC is at the lowest level ever, homicides are down to the lowest ever

The problem is regular people with legal guns doing mass killings

getting guns off the street would stop 100% of all mass killings accessed from a street if new security methods put in place

the above would stop ZERO mass killings”

What? Sooo, criminals blowing other people away on the American street *in excess of a war zone* is of no concern, but the relatively rare incidence of a lone lunatic going on a shooting spree is such a problem that no one should have a gun.
0.o Oh wait. Did I just say that the lone lunatics are the problem? Why don’t they just ban lunatics? Or get them all together so they won’t be lonely & just disarm them?

“Ban Chicago.”

Actually, Chicago is a lovely city. I worked at a major University (UIC) for years, amongst other jobs I held when young down in Chicago (I’m retired in the western burbs). All of the mayhem is taking place in certain areas of the city (primarily the south side), and as long as you stay out of those bad areas, you should be fine. There are major gang wars taking place and they are very hard to stamp out. Lots of unemployed, welfare raised yutes with nothing better to do with their lives than cause trouble. Young men with no purpose in life are invariably loose cannon that are not easy to control. Too bad they are giving a very beautiful and vibrant city a bad name.

I love Chicago, but it is unfortunately run by the Dem machine, is/was the home of Obama, his headquarters for election campaigns, and thus now tarnished by Obama and company. The whole state of IL is now bluer than blue, and is being run into the financial ground by the Dems on a statewide level. What a shame. So much fascinating history in Chicago, and now bad history created by a fascist dear leader and his minions. Hope when he retires Obama never comes back to Chicago and goes to Hawaii, as far away from the mainland as possible. Like banning him to Elba. He does think he’s the Emperor, you know.

Too bad he is too ignorant to recognize that the real problem are not guns but SOCIALISM which either direct or indirectly and in a round about way condemns many people to remain destitute and ignorant. All you have to do is consider who is doing the most shooting. I wonder if this has ever occurred to him.Well what else would you expect from a mentally challenged party hack.

When will they learn. There's only one way to stop the violence from flowing in from the surrounding flyover country.

Take away their guns and they’ll just switch to machetes in Chicago.

It ought to be a LAW that a man cannot impregnate a woman and walk away from fatherhood so she can receive more government handouts.

Mayor Rham Emanuel is in rehearsal for the
new Chicago ballet: "Bang-bang, You're Dead."

The Mayor's ballet troupe is having its hair
and nails done at Michele Obama's fave salon:

The "Curl Up And Dye" unisex salon, downtown Chicago.

Ya but, they have a great gun control program in Chicago. More deaths in the city than in Afghanistan, how can this be? (sarc)
