Trump tweets 'Chicago needs help' after 7 homicides in one day
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | February 23, 2017 | Sam Charles and Fran Spielman

Seven people were fatally shot in Chicago on Wednesday, making it the deadliest day of 2017 so far.

And it was only the 21st time in the past 16 years that Chicago has seen that many homicides in a single day, records analyzed by the Chicago Sun-Times show.

The bloody day prompted another tweet from President Donald Trump, who wrote "Seven people shot and killed yesterday in Chicago. What is going on there - totally out of control. Chicago needs help!"

The Donald is wrong ... we don't heed any help ... we Libtards are screwing things up well enough on our own!

If Obama said Chicago needed help (and he failed to help as community organizer and as President), then the liberals would be nodding. Trump wants to help - he’s a fascist Hitler.

Trump cares more about black people than Democrats do. There’s your headline.

Once again Trump hits the nail on the head—Send in a special squad— an Untouchable Squad to clean out the gangs—Gangbusters!

and by help, we mean a federal takeover of Chicago law enforcement.

We should be careful. Getting the Feds involved is what the crooks have wanted all along.

Would like The President to pivot now and detail that Chiraq’s misery derives from the fact that it is a lawless town, and has been a lawless town under an era of Democrat rule, and that it is a lawless town that is a speck in the eye of an otherwise beautiful state with great people, and did I mention that Chicago is a lawless town...

Wow! “Only” 21 times with 7 or more shot in a day. As Trump has said, there’s war zones with fewer causalities than that.

Chicago is Chicago, that’s just the way it is. The only help they need is maybe another backhoe.

I'm going to try to insert some logic....

Fact: Chicago is a place with out-of-control violent crime.

Fact: There are non-citizen criminals that the US would like to arrest and deport or imprison ASAP

Logical conclusion: Invite ICE in with open arms. It will free more of your police to work in fragile inner-city neighborhoods. Meanwhile, ICE could be an asset in getting non-citizen criminals off your mean streets.

Self-Deporting! Frankly,I really don’t care. Everyone knows who has blood on their hands!

Agreed.

These are the very times we cannot allow our emotions to rule our brain. The Constitution limited the powers of the central government for a reason. And it’s a GOOD reason.

Where are all the business and community leaders calling on Mayor Emmanuel to fix this or resign?

Where are the 45 aldermen?

Guess everyone is happy with their cut of the drug money.

TRUMP: DOING MORE TO HELP BLACKS THAN OBAMA
hat tip to 2ndDivisionvet for the title

TRUMP could make chiraq or chicago as some call it safe in a heart beat. How you ask ?

Nobody committing violent crime gets jail ever again. No not any more, now they get to do their time at a labor camp NK style or at least farm labor in some un used place. They are lazy and fear work so they choose the thug life. When we catch them we work them instead of paying for them to sit on their lazy asses.

Next 10-20-life law like in Florida , also concealed carry like Florida , and to that law I would add felon in possession of a gun gets 21, catchy I like it , remember were not talking prison were talking work camp. If your a felon and dont want to do 21 yrs hard labor then dont touch a gun.

last and finally, Death penalty by firing squad if you shoot and kill someone while committing a felony. That would make you think twice before shooting someone. live leak a few videos of that and gun crime will disappear fast.

forward this to someone who writes the laws, I think it would work well, lets do it for the children, It is really sad kids are routinely shot in the cross fire in the inner cities.
