re: Illinois Gov is insane 35 shot in Chicago so far this weekend

The murder solve rate is about 12%. Black folks don’t “rat” on their kind. You know, he would have been a valedictorian if he got a redo in life and the white man didn’t keep him down

no Feds came in to stop him. I bet you feel real dumb right about now.

Awful attempt at whataboutism. Not only was it 100 years ago but the Feds were asked by important civic leaders to come in and quell the crime, specifically Capone et al, which they then did at the direction of the President.

In the wake of the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre, Walter A. Strong, publisher of the Chicago Daily News, asked his friend President Herbert Hoover for federal intervention to stem Chicago's lawlessness. He arranged a secret meeting at the White House, just two weeks after Hoover's inauguration. On March 19, 1929, Strong, joined by Frank Loesch of the Chicago Crime Commission, and Laird Bell, made their case to the President.[82] In Hoover's 1952 Memoir, the former President reported that Strong argued "Chicago was in the hands of the gangsters, that the police and magistrates were completely under their control, …that the Federal government was the only force by which the city's ability to govern itself could be restored. At once I directed that all the Federal agencies concentrate upon Mr. Capone and his allies."[83] That meeting launched a multi-agency attack on Capone. Treasury and Justice Departments developed plans for income tax prosecutions against Chicago gangsters, and a small, elite squad of Prohibition Bureau agents (whose members included Eliot Ness) were deployed against bootleggers. In a city used to corruption, these lawmen were incorruptible. Charles Schwarz, a writer for the Chicago Daily News, dubbed them Untouchables. To support Federal efforts, Strong secretly used his newspaper's resources to gather and share intelligence on the Capone outfit.[84]

Ackshually five people getting shot to death in Chicago is negligible on a per capita basis. So is 35.

If it was 3000 in a weekend, then it would mean something. Who cares about a measly five people getting shot dead in Chicago? Lots of Chicagoans didn’t get shot. And that’s who we should focus on.

God. I love that liberals are just fricking retards with absolutely no assistance.

what the frick are you talking about?

JFK nationalized the Alabama National Guard to desegregate the University of Alabama. He did it by EO.

Do Dims think that was wrong. They did back then and even now don’t give a damn about the safety of black Americans.

I am not saying that. I am saying that Birmingham is a more dangerous city to live in because it has a very high level of violent crime relative to its population. I feel like the only cities being floated for these NG activations being big cities in firmly blue states shows that this is more about political theater than addressing the supposed issue. This is about trying to cultivate talking points not saving lives.

So you think that black people in the south are the issue.

That is an interesting take.

That is Gavin Newsom level racist.

I would be willing to bet that Jackson MS has a higher per capital shooting rate.

More dangerous than the Donbas salient in the Ukraine-Russia war.
