BOLLING: Why is Chicago a 'Warzone'? 'Liberal Democrats' to Blame
Gateway Pundit ^ | July 19, 2017

Posted on 07/20/2017 5:34:58 AM PDT by Zakeet

Host of Fox News' "Specialists" Eric Bolling commented Wednesday during his "Wake Up America" segment that Chicago is a "warzone" because of liberal Democrats - he’s not wrong.

[Snip]

The facts are: Afghanistan’s population of 32.5 million was hit with 5.9 violent deaths per every 100,000 people. Chicago, with 2.72 million citizens, saw 13.5 violent deaths per every 100,000 people.

Bolling poses the question: "What's happening?" Bolling goes on to say:

"Liberal Democrats are happening. Mayor Rahm Emanuel is a complete failure, Rahm was in over his head from the get-go ... At the beginning of his term, Emanuel eliminated the mobile strike force and targeted response units over budget issues. As the violence started to spike, Rahm hired Eddie Johnson, basically a 'yes-man', who defended all the foolish liberal policies Rahm could cook up. Rahm, Eddie, and the ACLU placed massive restrictions on how officers were allowed to make contact with suspects. When they do make a perfectly legal stop, officers are required to pump out mounds of bureaucratic paperwork."

They may be dead and buried but their memory will live for eternity on voting days.

Give Rahm credit where credit is due. Black youths slaughtering other blacks seem to be of very little importance. However...consider..
If a policeman, in the line of duty, shot and killed a youthful black, BLM and the Justice Warriors would leap into action and a quarter of Chicago would be looted and burnt to the ground. Such examples are too tragic and too many to list here.
The Democrats will claim to have saved the city of Chicago from calamity, with their deliberate policies.
(The above is about the worst thought I’ve ever had!!!)

You have more people killed in Chicago in a normal week, than you would in Baghdad, or Cairo, or Bombay. What does that really say for ‘civilization’?

“If a policeman, in the line of duty, shot and killed a youthful black, BLM and the Justice Warriors would leap into action and a quarter of Chicago would be looted and burnt to the ground.”

Yet, we have just had a black cop while on duty murder a white woman and not a peep from ANYBODY.

A shure way to live forever is to be a voter in a Democrat state.

I feel very confident in saying that if Chicago had a Repub mayor, the FNM would be all over this 24/7/365.

You know who else could not give a damn less about Blacks murdering Blacks, ExPOTUS, Barack Hussein Obama, Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, John Lewis, the entire Congressional Black Caucus, NAACP & the entire Democrat Party. Black folks, not-too-bright!!! Sad, but true.

Why are they picking on Chicago?

Chicago seems to be a target (heh) lately in the news, but yet, they are not the highest listed in murders/100k.

The Wikipedia has a report, derived from FBI and Census data which has these “murder and non-negligent homicide” statistics:

Atlanta 20.2
Baltimore 55.4
Chicago 17.5
Cincinnati 22.1
Detroit 43.8
Kansas City MO 23.0
Memphis 20.5
Milwaukee 24.2
New Orleans 41.7
Newark 33.3
Oakland 20.3
Philadelphia 17.9
Pittsburgh 18.6
St Louis 59.3
Washington DC 24.1

The Democrats rule in most, if not all of these “Death-to-
Blacks by Blacks” cities!!! Blacks have been had big time by their own Black leaders, starting with failed POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama and the CBC, NAACP & Democrat Party!!!

Wake up...African-Americans, you are more then abused pawns in the hands of your supposed, Black Leaders!!! This situation would be lovely joke, if the outcome was not so devastating to the entire African-American community of citizens. Sad...but, self-inflicted by African-Americans themselves. Will these ill destined folks ever learn?

Basically, these cities were also the sites of major race riots, BLM protests, etc.

Doesn’t fit the narrative.

Liberals put more weight in the “narrative” than you might suspect. It’s their way of public brainwashing, and why they aren’t run out of town on a rail.

The “people” (I use that loosely) who are killing and being killed are not innocent victims and care not for any restrictive legislation.

We have had concealed carry and open carry in St. Louis and it is worse than ever.

Those laws passed in the furtherance of the 2A have not changed anything for the better in the “war zones”.

They do make those at very much less risk safer still and feel better.

But they do not live in the warzone either.
