dems do not care about the black people being murdered in that city.

It's going to be hilarious watching Democrats lose their minds over the Feds getting dispatched ... to stop black people from being murdered.

Most inner city violence and shootings are related to black market drug trade. They use violence because when the dope man fricks you over, you can't sue him in court for breach of contract. Violence is the only means of redress when engaged in nominal illegal activity. In the same vein, violence dropped tremendously after the end of alcohol prohibition.

This is not the only solution to the problem, as I believe there are also cultural and economic factors involved, but it's a hell of a start.

We all agree something needs to be done with the lawlessness in cities like Chicago and Detroit but what's the answer other than tougher sentencing for criminals and the reemergence of a stable family unit some how.



The criminal law system has always, and as I stated earlier is one of only two areas that are largely untouched (outside of interpretations of 4,5,&6 A's) by federal law. It is left to the States and it is up to Illinois to figure out what to do. Not the feds.

I just find it moronic that people are so quick to loose sight of everything they claim to stand for because it's someone they support calling the shots, regardless of if those decisions violate foundational principles of what they claim to believe in. No different than left wing liberal mindset.

I'm not even entirely sure if he could do this even if he wanted. Murder is not a federal crime unless it involves two different state jurisdictions or gets the "hate crime" designation. They have no basis nor jurisdiction to go in and enforce state law unless Chicago allowed it. It would clearly violate the 10A.

I'm no constitutional lawyer, but doesn't a state have to request federal intervention to put troops in the streets.


No he can federalize the Illinois national guard and order them to start patrolling the streets. Kennedy did that in Alabama when Wallis refused to comply with federal law.

What federal law is he going to enforce? Murder is a state crime, not a federal one unless it involves multiple state jurisdictions, is a hate crime, or committed in conjunction with some other federal offense. Feds don't prosecute your general murders because there's no federal law against it. It's left to the states

YEs, send in the Feds to audit the police department, judge their civil rights violations and wrest control from the inept local. It's hardly something most would ask for.
Well that seems a bit different than what I was envisioning.

Don't dance around words.

I asked a simple question. You made an accusation and like conservatives. I want your proof of me being left.
