Some politicians in the past have recommended deploying the National Guard to help Chicago quell gun violence, but Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin went even further on Thursday, suggesting the United Nations perhaps send in peacekeepers in the face of what he called a "quiet genocide."
Boykin was traveling to New York to meet with Oscar Fernandez-Taranco of Argentina, the U.N. Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Support, to seek international help with "horrific levels of shootings" and other violent crime in West Side and South Side communities.
"I'm hoping to appeal to the U.N. to actually come to Chicago and meet with victims of violence, and maybe even possibly help out in terms of peacekeeping efforts, because I think it’s so critical for us to make sure that these neighborhoods are safe," Boykin said at O'Hare International Airport on Thursday.

Boykin said Chicago must "utilize every avenue" available to protect its people from gun violence, possibly including U.N. peacekeepers.
"They've been able to help in places like Africa and abroad, where they’ve sent troops in and sent forces in to help protect minority and vulnerable populations, and so quite frankly I think the same can be said for here in Chicago," Boykin said. "I'm talking about physical security. I’m also talking about maybe suggestions for what we can do in Chicago to help protect our minority populations. We’re being, again, decimated by the violence that we see here in Chicago. I mean this is really a genocide, and we have to do something to stop it."

Between the bloods, crips, and MS13, they’ll have those UN troops (Swedes and Indians, led by a Maylasian General) either dead or running for their lives within a month.
You want to end violence in Chicage, put a armed squad of Marines on every street corner with permission to shoot any sons-o-bitches that even twitch the wrong way.
After all the bloods, crips, and MS13 gangbangers are dead...then we can talk about rebuilding.
Yes, but will they protect a minority population from a minority population...that is the question.
Police don’t enforce law in areas because they have been told not to. They are not welcome in various high crime areas because the race-baiters have used them, the LEOs doing their job, as a foil to advance their ends.
Boykin and people like him are the racists.
Weird...sorry for the double post.

Is Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin an idiot, or is he merely an idiot? (rhetorical question only - of course he is a grandstanding idiot.)
No, Mr. Boykin, it is not 'really a genocide'.
Genocide: the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation
Nope...
And it isn't some hazy and ill-defined 'violence' that is killing these people, it is violent criminals who are killing those people, and those violent criminals happen to be 'especially those of a particular ethnic group'.
Thugs will respect the Blue Helmets because they don’t reflect the oppression of America..../s
Ya know, If Rahm wasn’t getting a cut of the drug money, he’d let the cops clean it up.
Blue helmets on our streets? About the only way I can think of to get good citizens to back gang members.
If we did anything to stop this, this guy would scream bloody murder about it.
Don’t forget about cholera, they bring that too ... could cut down the gimmiedat population.
But do not mention the “quiet genocide” of abortion, right Comrade?
Does the braniac commissioner realize he just recognized Chicago as being only as stable as any other 3rd world hellhole?
Are armed troops fron Congo and Nepal really gonna come to Chicago and shoot black gang bangers?
Now this would be a pay-per-view I’d happily watch!
Blaming guns is lazy and easier than blaming your worthless policies. If all guns were magically eliminated the violence would continue by other means.
Liberalism is an illness...
Yeah. That’s it. Invite UN Peace Keepers in.
If Congo rebels can annihilate UN blue helmets there is no doubt the Chicago gangs could do so as well.
It’s socialist and Islamic silly season. There’s an American acting presidential and their all filling their knickers.

The governor can call out the Illinois National Guard at any time. No need to go ot the UN.
