Police: One dead, eight wounded in Monday shootings across city - FOX 32 News Chicago
What else can one say? They will not stop until our lawmakers get serious about this problem. We keep hearing this foot patrol mantra yet, it hasn't materialized in these affected neighborhoods.
We all know the majority of these dumb-fucks carrying these guns have felony records. Why are they back on our streets? That's a simple answer. Our sentencing guidelines are out of date. It's time we, and our lawmakers address this issue.

Two Arrested For Bringing Loaded Guns To O’Hare « CBS Chicago
Now you see what I mean about our fucked up criminal code? This should be a felony with a 10 year first time slap. That is how you stop dumb-fucks from doing dumb shit.
You can't smoke on an airline, you can't bring a gun on an airline unless you are hired by the airline, as security or a federal marshal. Stop treating these dumb-fucks as kids and put their dumb-asses in prison for 10 years.

Police: One Killed, Seven Wounded In Shootings Since Friday Afternoon « CBS Chicago
Meanwhile, the two running for mayor haven't said how they will deal with this menace. I know, one of them said they will "hire more police officers". But think about that for a second. How will that stop the illegal flow of guns? This isn't just a city problem, it's happening nation wide.
Right now, there are dumb, beyond fuck legislators that want uneducated citizens carrying firearms (concealed), without a permit. What in the fuck is the logic behind that? Is it the typical dog-whistle call for the Blacks are coming? History has taught us when "Blacks" arm themselves for safety, Whites repeal gun laws. We all know these seriously illiterate legislators, and judges don't comprehend the Second Amendment. "A well regulated militia..." passes over their feeble minds. Universal background checks keep criminals, and the mentally challenged away form obtaining firearms, but the NRA blocks such legislation from happening. For that reason alone, felons and the mentally challenged keep obtaining firearms.
So there you have it folks. It isn't just a city problem, it's nation wide.

You can expect more retaliation shootings. This is what criminal organizations do. The strange thing about these murderous rampages, is that we have a governor, mayor, and police department completely baffled, or not surprisingly, indifferent about the carnage.
None of them have held a press conference demanding and end, or putting forth legislation dealing with this issue. With all these universities in this state, one would think these guys would speak with a criminal justice professor, and pick his or her brain? Yet, I take it one must posses a brain in the first place to accomplish such a feat. How strangely baffling, and indifferent this has become?

Everyday, one of you dumb-fucks shoot this guy or that guy, and you run away scared shitless because you know one of their friends or family members will come after your ass. Get a life. Grow the fuck up.
This is the classic definition of insanity. Ask yourself, is it really worth it? Look at yourselves. You don't make enough money selling drugs so you can get out of your neighborhoods. Why not go work in a grocery store? At the very least, you'll get a fucking raise. You do realize the minimum wage is going up in this city? So put the fucking guns down, get a fucking job, and get the fuck out of your parents house or apartment. Get a life. Grow the fuck up.

Illinois Supreme Court debates allowing 18-year-olds to be charg - FOX 32 News Chicago
Illinois Supreme Court debates allowing 18-year-olds to be charg - FOX 32 News Chicago
If this is the case, you might as well fix the age requirements across the nation state by state. At 18 or less (given parents permission), you can join the military. Yet, in all states you can't buy a beer, unless you are 21. Should a juvenile be charged with murder, I get that. But what are they talking about here? Just misdemeanor possession of drugs, theft, vandalism, consent? The military has a Uniform Code of Military Justice. The United States should have a uniform code of civilian justice.
This will eliminate all confusion of the multitude of varying state laws such as, joining the military, buying booze, possession, theft, vandalism, and consent, and any other double standard varying states have. Yet, let's be clear, murder is still murder, unless a mental lack of capacity applies. The possibility this debate will spark a discussion of a uniform code of civilian justice could become revolutionary.

I do know The MacArthur Foundation is one of the participants. I myself believe it's time for all of us to get off our asses and demand our politicians pass legislation calling for universal background checks, and closing loopholes dealing with open-air gun shows.

CPS to sell three more shuttered school buildings - FOX 32 News Chicago
And of the remaining, how many will be turned into more "Black Sites"? There's an empty one across the street from my home. It had a basketball court, the swing set is still there. Yet, any thinking person knew that buildings days were numbered once they ripped up the basketball court. Yet, they wonder why we are skeptical?
Ironically, that court kept kids, and young adults out of trouble. I guess our elected leaders figured the prisons were not full enough, so they got rid of it. You know that old saying about "Idol Hands..."? When they reported on that newly discovered "Black Site", just one look at it and you knew it was a former school. So now, the CPS trots out this story in the hope of misinforming the public. Yeah, I'm highly skeptical.

Don't be surprised if that body count doubles, or triples today being Saturday. With these insane shootings, it's as if there are no police on the streets. We know police have a documented gang list, but their hands are tied because no mayor or governor will declare what these gangs truly are; terrorist organizations.
Right now as I'm typing this, they (terrorist) are plotting drug buys and sales, and the murder of rivals. That's what these terrorist organizations do. As I've stated before, each state has its own version of The Patriot Act on their books. Yet, they never enforce it. A couple of foundations are giving away a million bucks if somebody can fix, and stop this insane violence on our streets. Well, look no further. Each state has its own version of The Patriot Act. This tool helps the feds fight terrorism, why not the states? After-all, these "gangs" are no different from any other terrorist organization.

Gee! I wonder what sparked all this mayhem? Could it be gang affiliations? A battle over drug turf? Or just a bunch of felons that have access too guns that the average law abiding citizen doesn't? In either scenario, here's the bottom line. Do those so called "Gun Shot Detectors" even work anymore? I'm betting they don't.
I have noticed the media and law enforcement isn't touting how those million dollar detectors are not responsible for assisting in capture of these armed felons. Why? I saw a story yesterday on how Peoria Illinois is launching the same technology. I wonder how long it will take them in finding out how effective it is? We here in Chicago certainly don't know about such things. Why? If anyone hasn't noticed, this nation is still under sequestration. Maybe the funds have just dried up? But wait, that can't be the case since Peoria is getting it after all these years later. Maybe it's after they get it, no more funding for upkeep. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Here we go again. Every month they trot this turd out and have zero solutions for combating the problem. Our legislature has its hands tied by the blood-thirsty NRA, and it's dick-less brother the Illinois counterpart. Universal background checks don't infringe on our constitutional rights. Yet these blood-thirsty ghouls block every attempt at keeping citizens, and law enforcement safer from felons getting their hands on guns.
The only way we can fight these obstructionist is for all law-abiding minorities to apply in droves for open, and concealed carry permits. A move such as this will make these pasty, bigoted, ass-clowns shit their collective pants, and skirts. Remember how quickly they changed the law when the old Black Panther Party utilized it during the 1960's? Maybe that is what it will take for our legislature to finally enact universal background checks.

$1 million offered for ideas on stopping Chicago violence - FOX 32 News Chicago
It's obvious these egg-heads don't read my postings. Also, it's a damn shame politicians are so stupid, these folks have to offer bucks for this problem. Anyone with a brain will just tell you, look at the policies that have been put in-place for decades.
The separation of the father figure for qualifying for low income housing must end. This problem alone denied youth discipline and structure. The nations engineered decline from a manufacturing powerhouse, towards a consumer society decimated employment opportunities in urban cities. The so-called mysterious flood of crack cocaine into urban areas. The attack on public education, and public sector employment. And lastly, the incarceration rate of people of color.
All these failed policies has a price. Wages did not adjust from the transformation of manufacturing towards consumption, simply because of the lobbyist in the retail industry. Public sector employment raised the educational requirements for certain positions curtailing the influx of minorities. The long standing policy of "separate and never equal" was in full effect.
Naturally, education and jobs are the key. Yet one simple tweak of law can influence a falling crime rate, and a massive influx of revenue in creating better educational and employment opportunities. That my fellow readers is the legalization of marijuana. This plant should be treated the same as booze, with the same regulations and laws. If you can't come too your job drunk, it's best not doing so high either. Incarceration rates will fall. These outdated policies in-place for decades must end.
