Don't imagine there will be anyone agreeing with this approach but I have been wrong before so I might be wrong again. All I have to ask is what the hell are these representatives thinking?
|
I think this sounds like a good idea. |
It doesn't sound like a good idea but we need some form of law enforcement in the city. To those against it, do you just want anarchy in the streets?

They did catch the Blues Brothers

Most of those against it would tell the city to hire more cops. The last time they tested was in 2006. The last numbers I heard was that the city was understaffed by around 3500 officers. And that's the minimum level they should be at. |
Looks like the mayor's answer is more gun control.
"This is all about guns, and that's why the crusade is on," Daley said. "We hope to get their cooperation in Springfield." Daley declined to completely dismiss the idea, saying all ideas for quelling violence should be entertained, but he also noted a host of complicated issues that would ensue if the Guard were called in. "You put them on for a weekend, without ammunition?" he asked. "Think of the repercussions you have to look at. … A fully automatic weapon?" Mayor Richard Daley was cool to the idea of sending the National Guard to patrol Chicago’s streets - chicagotribune.com |
Gun control? More like bullet control. Charge 10K for a bullet and see who can afford them, or who has to put them on layaway.

It will be interesting to see if California lightens the demands on their cops by legalizing pot.

It's a political stunt by two Democratic state reps who want to avoid having to work on Illinois' real problems in an election year.
And then Daley, predictably, used it for his own gain as well. |
