Rahm “the ballerina” Emanuel is afraid of gangs -- can’t prosecute the minorities which make up the democrat base

...

Dancing aroung the issue of gangs.

A 15-year-old girl who performed at the president's inauguration is gunned down by gangs less than a mile from Barack Obama's home. What does Chicago's mayor do? He blames banks who lend gun makers money. Hadiya Pendleton, who just days before had performed with her high school band at President Obama's inauguration, was gunned down Tuesday afternoon in Chicago's Kenwood neighborhood, just blocks from the high school she attended.

The park where she was killed is a little less than a mile from President Obama's Kenwood home. In addition to Hadiya, two men were killed and eight other people wounded Tuesday night in Chicago, arguably the most violent city in the country despite having the most restrictive gun laws. Chicago by Sunday had reached 41 homicides, surpassing the January 2012 homicide toll.

...

Confronted with a rising body count that exceeded 500 in 2012, Chicago Mayor and former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, not letting this crisis go to waste, has sent letters to two major financial institutions, TD Bank and Bank of America, which offer lines of credit to gun makers.

He suggested that they stop lending money to the manufacturers and come out for new gun restrictions.

...

The source of the gun-related deaths is not the weapon, but the minority gangs that wield the weapons. Plain cause and effect. Now if Rahm, the hyper-partisan POS would only go after the gangs – the murder rate would drop drastically.

Because he can’t get the guns from gangs only law abiding citizens; shows how much he cares to end gun crime - that continues daily.

Gangs have guns, and shoot back.

Former. Rahm is a former everything.

[I want the USA back]

As I have said many times, the goal of the left is to take guns from non-violent people (us) and leave them in the hands of violent criminals.

Any updates?

No Schiff!

[Socon-Econ]

Sorry libertarians, but banks should not be allowed to politicize lending or deny loans to be used for lawful purposes.

[Chewbarkah]

The banks just aren’t giving Rahm and the Chicago Dem machine the kind of protection money they get from the gangs.

Chicago.... What a wonderful place to sell ammo...

"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards. On the road to tyranny, we've gone so far that polite political action is about as useless as a miniskirt in a convent. ... Something's eventually going to happen. Government will bloat until it chokes us to death, or one more tyrannical power grab will turn out to be one too many. ... Maybe it'll be one more round of "reasonable gun control" or one more episode of burning children to death to save them from "child abuse." Whatever, something will snap."

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't LOVE FREEDOM enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956 (CAPS mine)
