I told you these idiots will not stop. They know the current laws on the books are a complete fucking joke. They know lawmakers are afraid of the NRA and will not pass any legislation, until one of these idiots shoots an NRA member. Then, and only then will you see the proverbial mad rush to pass legislation.

If anyone expected a different outcome, you were delusional.

The first words out of that bigots mouth should have been translated as a simple fuck you niggers. That wasn't a grand jury investigation by a long shot. It was nothing more but a giant middle finger from the White power establishment, and those disgusting bigots.

I don't watch FOX news, but I read the article about their disgusting glee the cop walked. Forget the fact a kid is dead. They will have some explaining to do come judgement day. Sadly folks, this is the society we live in. But fear not, as with all things, change will eventually come. That change is the biggest fear of the White power establishment, and those disgusting bigots.

Alderman says police overtime is main reason he voted against mayor's budget

Alderman says police overtime is main reason he voted against mayor's budget



You know it's bad when the top cop has more power than your elected representative. How odd the racist call the President of the United States a "Emperor and Dictator." This guy wasn't elected, and refuses giving an accounting of where our tax dollars go. So who's responsible? Simple answer. Us.

We elect assholes, turn a blinds-eye, then bitch when they raise our taxes and not corporations. One of these election cycles, a person will run for office and tell us they will not tax us, but the very wealthy. That person will then inform us that those funds will be used for fully staffed police departments.

Yet, that will never happen. Corporations will never fund a progressive, independent candidate. We must. Until then, we'll continue electing assholes who will turn around and give more power to an unelected emperor.

Some may deem this a tad condescending, but, I told you so!, a few post back. In the event those that do read this, I mentioned that many of these shootings occur in the same radius. I questioned why such areas are not saturated with police, and cameras. If something is predictable, shows a pattern, and is bad, it can be prevented.

The one person that spoke with the reporter of this article summed it up nicely. "Drugs". The civilian knew. The police know. So again I ask, why are these areas not saturated with police, and cameras? If it's predictable, shows a pattern, and is bad, it can be prevented.

Gun sales surge ahead of grand jury's Ferguson decision

Gun sales surge ahead of grand jury's Ferguson decision


Who's buying them? White people. Want to know why? Guilt. Now imagine the headline "Blacks buying guns in record numbers"? The NRA, GOP, and White America would have a major freak-out session just like they did in the 60's and banned open carry, and concealed carry. Simply because you always turn them on yourselves.

That's why we don't buy in record numbers. We do it slowly. We don't want to arouse your guilt riddled minds. You guys do this every time you think we will get a little payback for slavery. Trust me, we could care less what is on your paranoid feeble minds. All we as a people are doing, is just surviving in your specially created hate filled world. Yes, some of our kind are millionaires, but they are well aware of your jealously, and keep a low profile. Those that don't, get the old Al Capone treatment. And just like your race, we have that old "Crabs in a barrel" bunch also. Hint, hint, we still call them Uncle Tom's. Some things never change.

So go right ahead and buy those guns. Nobody is coming too your neighborhood. Don't forget, you invented "redlining". And don't get me wrong. We don't Hate you. We just don't Trust you. We see what, and how you treat your own kind. Why should we expect anything different? We learn from history, apparently you don't. Just wait. Soon you will repeal your open carry, and concealed carry laws, simply because you always turn those guns on yourselves.

Police: 3 killed, 14 hurt in weekend shootings

Police: 3 killed, 14 hurt in weekend shootings


It gets towards a point in folks lives they become numb when reading about this carnage in our city, because politicians refuse fixing the problem. The politicians held a hearing, meeting, better yet, a dog and pony show to make the infamous appearance of doing something. Yet all we got was no solutions, just the same old arguments.

For instance. Show me an economist that claims overtime is good for governments, and I'll show you a motherfucker I'll never take my taxes too. If you listen long enough they may just fool you into thinking they are correct. Yet, do the math yourself. Underfunded, understaffed police departments is just fucked up on its face. Add overtime, and you get a bunch of sleep deprived officers that can't make quick decisions.

Now take a second, or better yet buy a map of the city. Take notice where these shootings occur most often. If you noticed, many are within blocks of one another on a daily and weekend basis. That in itself raises questions such as; what the fuck happened to foot patrols? Remember that little gem promised to voters? Hell, I've been here since 1991 and only seen that once. One would think having shootings in such concentrated areas policing would be a snap? NOT!

And that's the problem folks. No solutions, just the same old arguments.

I take it both suspects were not dark enough for this cop, so he let's the lady have the first punch? Think about that after you read the story.

The cop is watching them, doesn't pull his weapon, figures he can handle the lady, gets his ass handed to him, calls for back up. Any other cop in this city would have had their gun drawn. And God forbid had that lady took an aggressive stance, she would have had bullets in her ass. Oh well, I guess they just were not dark enough for him.

What Does Rahm Want From His Buddy, Governor-Elect Rauner? Money « CBS Chicago


How naive can you possibly be Mayor? This corporate puppet is going to squeeze this state for every nickle and dime the taxpayers give, and pass it along to his masters. See Kansas.

There will be no "money" for infrastructure, education, health, and public safety. The ass-clown can't even run a nursing home correctly. He not only views this city as the boogeyman, but behind closed doors tells his masters Chicago is the biggest drain on money. So he has to find the only way republicans know how to squeeze money from taxpayers. Tax cuts for the wealthy, and tax increases on the poor, poor working class, and middle class. He's also going to raid pensions, and make an attempt at destroying collective bargaining.

Need I remind you Mayor that fracking can begin in this state? A secret board the public had no knowledge of already approved it. I myself find that highly unconstitutional with no citizen input. I for one like water that doesn't catch fire, and less earthquakes.

So you actually think you are going to get "money" from this guy? Do me a favor Mayor? See Kansas.

Chicago Homicide Rate Saw A Large Drop In 2013, But Still Lags Behind The Nation « CBS Chicago



Here's the problem. Our spineless legislature refuses to address the problem. The dumbest idea they came up with, was guns for everyone that wish to carry.

Nothing for universal background checks. No assault weapons ban. No sentencing guideline reform. No restrictions for straw buyers. No ban on high capacity magazines. Yet, law enforcement, and the citizenry overwhelmingly support all mentioned above. Why are they not listening? Money, and fear from the billionaires and NRA. Our legislature should fight the Supreme Corporate Court and ban Citizens United, and all "Dark Money from our elective process. Yet, they refuse.

So the best thing they can do is, come up with the dumbest idea ever. For the right price, you get a gun, you get a gun, and you get a gun.Ooh shiny object.

I find it odd how the NRA has the ability to tie the hands of law enforcement, and elected officials when dealing with the flow of illegally obtained firearms flowing into this state. When anyone suggest universal background checks, the NRA cries foul. Who do they really support? The vast majority of Americans support universal background checks, criminals on the other hand, don't. This tells me the NRA supports the criminals. Why? When anyone suggest waiting periods and background checks at "Open Air Gun Shows", the NRA cries foul. why?

These reforms do not encroach on any law abiding citizens constitutional rights under the Second Amendment. They only stop criminals, and those deemed mentally unstable from obtaining guns. To this very day, I haven't seen nor read of a "Straw Buyer" receiving a prison sentence for giving these weapons to known felons. Why? I'll tell you why. It's because of the NRA.
