Chicago’s “Safe Passage” signs not big enough? Five shot on Safe Passage route

Well-meaning social liberals who think putting up some silly yellow signs proclaiming “Safe Passage” zones does nothing to deter predatory criminals, just as a slew of gun laws that only disarm the good guys do nothing to slow violent crime.

The victims were shot by the steps of a church on the way to a prayer breakfast. How stupid can a politician be to think that a sign denoting "safe passage" would stop a violent criminal or a gang banger? And once again, liberal's fantasy solutions fail to deter violent criminals. They might as well tell everyone to wear t-shirts that say "No Shooting Allowed"! That would solve the violence problem in fantasy land.

Those Libs should know that putting signs up isn’t going to do anything. Obviously, they need to sit down with those gangstas and give them a good talking-to. You know...”rap with them...have a conversation...open a dialog....”

That’s what Libs do.

Commie libs are such morons. More people are killed in “gun free zones” and “safe passage” zones than any other place on the planet. Geeesh! Get a brain, IDIOTS!

Liberal ideas are the most entertaining. I think that's whay the media loves to promote their agenda. The media is lazy and the stories come and read easy for a stupid public produced by public schools.

Getting paid a full day's wages for shootin fish in a barrel is a good gig in Washington terms.

“Safe Passage” zones

More magical thinking from libtards...

It's hard to fathom how disconnected these chicago liberals must be, to think a yellow sign hanging on a lamp post will deter these feral animals from shooting people...

You have to have no sense of morality and basic human dignity to randomly shoot people and they think a sign will make them change their mind...

Maybe if they would give the kids an education so they could read would help them be able to read the signs and obey accordingly.
Yes, I ran the sentence together so I could type faster and get the heck out of here before I get shot at.

A couple of weeks ago, Drudge had a “Safe Passage” story. One of the [female] employees mugged somebody. Never heard of “Safe Passage” before that, so I had to look it up.

It’s akin to those “Do not walk on the grass” signs that telegraph “stomp the h*ll out of the grass”. I think the sign people crave violence and perpetual victimhood, same as for places marked as gun-free zones.

Obviously they haven’t passed a law making it against the law to break the law.

September 20 2013

“(CBS) – A Safe Passage worker for Chicago Public Schools allegedly struck a woman and stole her Link benefits card, authorities say.

Lashia Brown, 22, has been charged with misdemeanor battery and felony ID theft.  Police confirmed Brown has a prior criminal record that includes possessing a weapon without a Firearm Owners Identification Card, an offense for which she pleaded guilty.

Brown allegedly struck the victim in the face and used her Link card to withdraw money. She was arrested Tuesday in the 3200 block of West Madison and ordered held on $10,000 bond.

A Link card provides cash and food-buying assistance for families that meet income guidelines.

A spokeswoman for the school system says officials are looking into the allegation.

“With the safety of our children a top priority, CPS takes these allegations very seriously and is working with the safe passage vendor on looking into these claims and will take appropriate action,” the CPS representative said.”

How stupid can a politician be to think that a sign denoting "safe passage" would stop a violent criminal or a gang banger?

I worked for many years in an urban school district. The district's response to a violent bullying incident was always the same: put a few anti-bullying posters up in the hallways.

That was the policy. No crackdowns. No removing of violent offenders. Just put up posters in the hallways.

But it's not stupidity alone that drives these people. It's a combination of stupidity and cowardice.

I looked at the cop in the picture. Weaing a black t-shirt and dungarees, his arm filled with Tattoos.
The only thing separating him from one of the shooters was a vest with Police written on it.

I guess you need a program to tell the shooters rom the cops.

Good evening. I hope you are doing well. Say "hi," to your dad for me.

As you know, I post with my real name. So I have to be careful...

I'm a member of a church, where I am responsible for security. We have been going through training regarding many things, but specifically an armed intruder.

The "clergy" then stated that the campus is a gun free zone. Ok, what about the armed intruder?

I stood up and stated that Sandy Hook, Theater in Aurora, CO, the mall in Kenya, VA Tech, etc. were all gun free zones.

The trainer/presenter (who is an ex LEO), said, "if you are armed, stop the assault, I didn't see anything."

Not reassuring, but as you know guy, it is better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6.

The only safe passages in Chicago are provided by the vans taking people to vote Democrat on election day.
