    I don't see anything inaccurate with that statement. Can you dispute that Chicago isn't a large Democrat minority run city with a huge crime rate that is full of armed criminals?

    Can't have guns in Chicago so those law abiding folks don't have them. But the thugs and criminal gangbangers have guns.

    People who say the more gun owners the better were talking about non criminals not criminals

    I should not have to point out the self evident. Lol.

    To suggest that all are criminals that reside in cities in BS - YOUR STATEMENT NOT MINE which I DID NOT SAY. I said Democrat cities are full of armed criminals which they are. But being magnanimous I will still accept your apology,.

    Sorry but they used mercury and it affected their brains. The mercury made the felting better and tighter and a better hat. They finally outlawed it.

    I used to make felt hats as a hobby. Not much I don't know about felt hats.

    You just confused lead with mercury as both are toxic.

    Wild west whores used mercury to puff up their eye lashes. Lol

    Guns in the streets....

    Are People tripping over them and dying from head injuries or are they laying there just firing away?

    Fortunately all my firearms (before the tragic boating accident) are quite docile.

    Her lack of leadership in conjunction with fatherless households and appeasing BLM led to this. #defund the Police

    Expand the police force, increase their budget, and institute proactive and aggressive policing policies. 'Stop and Frisk' and 'Broken Windows" tactics.
    Like Giuliani and Bloomberg did in NYC between 1994 and 2013, which saw NYC go from a notorious crime-ridden hellscape, to "America's safest big city".

    That's what I would do differently, because the results of doing what Democrat mayors do is as predictable as it is terrible.
    So that's what I would do. What would you do? More of the Democrat mayor disastrous same?

    Lori Lightfoot and her anti-gun ass can go straight to hell for all I care. How many people have died due to her inaction?

    What it destroys is the myth that Dem Party control of a city is a good thing.

    There are those who would argue one cannot go to hell if they are already in the city of Chicago.

    Likewise. Just let us know when you think we should arm everyone in the cities to make them safe.

    No, just start by getting rid of Democrat “leadership.” It has failed these cities for decades. Voters have to WAKE UP!

    I love how you framed your question with a built in excuse for all the murdering in Chicago - poverty.

    How does poverty make one person kill another? Not only are there poor people all over this country, but also throughout the world, and they're not murdering people at rates seen in democrat cities like St Louis, Baltimore, Detroit, New Orleans and Chicago. The left also loves to state that red states take more money from the feds than blue states with the implication that red states have more people living in poverty than blue states, yet it's the blue cities who are murdering each other.

    Another funny thing is illegals, who can't legally work, don't murder each other at the rates seen in blue cities. I'm betting they're not rich, so the poverty excuse is now out the window.

    My solution would be:

    1. If you're on Welfare then both the baby momma and daddy get sterilized until they're off of it.
    2. Stop with the eternal brainwashing that somehow people are victims because of something that ended a long time ago which only can be righted by handing them freebies. This not only causes them to depend on those freebies, but it justifies in their mind illegally taking stuff when they can't get it for free.
    3. Get a job
    4. Come down hard on gangs
    5. Vigorously enforce stop and frisk
    6. Stern prison sentences for violent crimes
    7. Faster implementation of the death penalty. Sitting 20 years on death row is not a deterrent. Execute the guy while all his friends and family still know who he is and haven't forgotten about him.
    8. Get an education.
    9. STOP BLAMING OTHERS FOR YOUR OWN PROBLEMS AND MISTAKES. YOUR OWN FAILURES IN LIFE ARE NOT BECAUSE OF RACISM.
    10. Buy a belt and use it

    Did she mention the BLM/Antifa shootings of young black males at CHOP? She parrots the propaganda of Leftwing Totalitarians and so deserves mocking and ridicule.

    Enjoy the 4th!

    More police? Make the inner city an occupied territory? Expect much citizen cooperation? Actually crime is down in Chicago except for homicide and assault which having more police will not prevent. They get there after the fact. "Stop and frisk" has been ruled unconstitutional and didn't correlate with reducing crime but it did alienate the population that police were sworn to protect. "Broken Windows" was bunk.

    You have a few suggestions:

    First tear up the constitution. Forced sterilization and Stop and Frisk

    Tell them to straighten up and fly right: get a job, keep it in your pants, graduate, buy a belt.....how's that worked out so far?

    More prison time. We have the highest incarceration rate in the world....how's that worked out so far?

    Breaking up gangs requires social out reach and the police.

    Pull the social safety net. No, that won't make the crime rate go through the roof and we all like seeing starving kids and more homelessness. Soweto sounds nice.

    It worked miraculously in NYC. The NYPD got 35% larger, and crime plunged.

    Homicide and and assault is out of control in Chicago, and homicide and assault plunged in NYC when the NYPD was beefed up, and they started in with aggressive policing tactics.

    Democrat politicians hate "Stop and Frisk" and "Broken Windows", because it worked far too well, and it was an embarrassment that aggressive policing miraculously stopped the crime that progressive policies only made worse(see NYC today).

    As far as police getting their "after the fact"- that can be eliminated by proactive, rather than reactive, police patrols, and also ShotSpotter-

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunfire_locator

    "Community activists" hate ShotSpotter, because it's one of those snitches they can't give stitches.

    They can deny all they want, and they do deny, deny, deny, but the miraculous results of crime plummeting in NYC speak for themselves, while result of a Democrat mayor cancelling, and pulling back, all the aggressive policing policies is speaking loudly, and disastrously right now.

    Or don't, and let blacks murder each other in the streets by their hundreds and thousands.

    Terrible. They just don't listen. You need aggressive policing to TELL THEM to fly right. It worked like a charm in NYC.

    Worked like a charm in NYC. Rikers Island packed to the rafters was a big part of making NYC the safest big city in America. A criminal locked in a cage, is a criminal that's not tearing up the streets of Brooklyn, Queens, etc...

    Which requires BIGGER police budgets, and not DEFUND THE POLICE.
    The safety net has become a hammock, and childhood obesity is a much bigger problem than the non-existent problem of kids starving in American ghettos.

    And yes, New York City is seeing a huge increase in homelessness under the current Democrat mayor. Shocker.

    Click this link to see a Constitutional violation that's worse than stop and frisk. Stop and frisk may have saved a life, and I remember the day when the left used to say "but if it saves just one life..." Funny how they don't say that any more, probably because if they really meant it they would not allow illegals and refugees to come here and they'd want a strong border. But that's a story for another day.

    And no one is being forced to get temporarily sterilized, it's something you would voluntarily do in order to get free money.

    https://twitter.com/breaking911/status/1277419635185537024?s=12

    So expecting them to act like regular people is asking too much?

    Why do we have so many criminals? And if they're in prison, that means they earned it.

    What social program will stop gangs? Plus the left wants to defund the police. And in this climate, I wouldn't want to be a cop and go anywhere near a gangbanger, because if s/he tries to shoot me and I shoot back, then I'm the guy who's in trouble.
