I always chuckle when I read about Rahm Emanuel and Chicago.

I have this image of him considering running for mayor and he says to to himself, 'I'm a liberal progressive Democrat and Chicago is a Democratic city.

All I have to do is run the city like a progressive liberal Democrat with progressive liberal Democrat policies and I'll be a hero.

How difficult can it be?'

I’m pleased that Fergusen is election the protesters in the Michael Brown event. Won’t be long until they are like Baltimore where cops won’t patrol and the streets will become like the S side of Chicago.

Not just that. The cops are unable to stop all crime, so that is not the full explanation.

The murders are done by street savages who have no respect for life. The politicians have allowed violent criminals to keep their guns even as they have taken guns from non-violent individuals.

No. It’s because they have come to the point where they realize they cannot serve two masters: social justice vs law & order.

Don’t expect law enforcement to help you when you need help, only to be accused of racism and needlessly picking on people. Cops will retreat, and rightfully so.

Bad guys will not be rounded up, if the citizens refuse to identify them. The bad guys will continue to RULE over them. There is no exception to THIS rule, btw.

I would ensure every willing citizen of Chicago to be trained and armed.

And this problem will solve itself in about 6 months.

RE: Is the ‘Ferguson Effect’ to blame for the carnage in Chicago?

If you want to look at cause and effect -— ask the question, what was the murder rate in Chicago BEFORE Ferguson?

What the 2nd city needs is a CPD made up of 10,000 Sgt Voights with no oversight committees to answer to.

Think of the results. If officials in Chicago did decide to go the law and order route, the numbers of riots, lootings and shootings would be 100 times worse than Ferguson. Given that Chicago is 100 times bigger than Ferguson.

Officials are right to ignore the mass murders ongoing every weekend in Obammie-land. After all, its just blacks killing blacks. In no-go zones set apart for that activity.
