The onslaught of gun crime in Chicago has spurred members of Congress to convene a summit on urban violence and prompted a state lawmaker to demand the National Guard be called in to stop the “mayhem.”
Rep. Booby Rush speaks on Capitol Hill Thursday about the growing violence in Chicago, Illinois, which has reached staggering proportions so far in 2013.

“Every single day we wake up in the city of Chicago, some child, some young adult, some African-American male has been murdered,” state Rep. Monique Davis said Thursday. “This is not acceptable.
“I’m hearing from mothers that they are afraid to go outside,” she said. “Hospitals are overburdened with 70 gunshot wounds in one day. Ambulances are so busy people are driving victims in their own cars.”

Davis held a press conference this week to ask Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn to call in National Guard “to protect our children so they can go to the park and swim and play and have a childhood.” She said the governor has not responded.

Police investigate a crime scene where seven people were shot on July 6 in Chicago.


Meanwhile, Congressman Bobby Rush and two other Illinois Democrats announced plans Thursday for an “emergency” summit July 25 at Chicago State University.
The event will be national in scope, but Chicago was chosen because it is “the epicenter of gun violence in the nation,” said Rush’s spokeswoman, Debra Johnson.
Chicago ended last year as the city with the highest number of murders in the nation. Three weeks later, its reputation as a crime capital was cemented when Hadiya Pendleton, 15, was shot dead days after performing in Washington for President Obama’s inauguration festivities.
Police say anti-gang and crime-fighting strategies launched after Pendleton’s slaying are working. Official statistics show murders were down 28 percent, from 260 to 188, and shooting incidents fell 24 percent, from 1,117 to 849, in the first half of the year.
However, a bloody Independence Day weekend left at least nine people dead and dozens wounded – including two young boys shot in city parks – making many worry that progress is slowing midway through a long, hot summer.
“It’s mayhem,” said Davis. “And nobody seems able to stop it.”

So the great city of Chicago cannot legislate and juducate so it calls in the military with automatic weapons and tanks like the Chinese did in Bejing. This boys and girls is today's America. Take a good, hard look at what your left wing government is going to do to you if you do not obey. I was in this degenerate city in 1968 when the "Anatomy of A Police Riot" took place during the Democratic National Convention. Let's all praise Obama, "Change Has Come To America" and it is in military uniform and ready to kill.

Thank you for posting this information. It's about time.

If this were happening in Hinsdale, Illinois (10 miles outside Chicago city limits) they would have been called out long ago. I guess when it's happening in predominantly black neighborhoods, it doesn't matter as much.
 
The faster the scum kill each other off, the better. I say arm them and get everyone out that wants out.

What does this post have to do with gun control?
 
How is this possible Chicago has one of the strictest unconstitutional gun laws on the books?

I think this is a good thing.If their police can not handle the gangs then they should call for outside help.
 
The faster the scum kill each other off, the better. I say arm them and get everyone out that wants out.

I kind of agree with that.However there are actually innocent bystanders that get hurt in the crossfire and there is not really a good way to distinguish who is a scumbag and who is a innocent person.

Like I said, get everyone out that wants out. Let the gangs, criminals, scummers and killers stay.
 
Why don't we just make all the "hoods" gun free zones?

How do you distinguish the scumbag from the innocent person? Plus many of these scumbags are minors whom their parents or most likely parent thinks is a good kid. All you would be doing is exporting Chicago's scumbag problem to other cities and states.

On the way out, check them in the DOC database. Been arrested and claimed as a gang member? You stay.

Not every criminal has been arrested and therefore not in a database.

Got to start somewhere. Or arm everyone and let society sort it out.
Or better yet, abide by the Second Amendment and allow citizens to arm themselves.
And the best idea, get the police involved in neighborhood policing and allow for cursory stops for weapons in gang areas like they did in NYC.
 
This is such a bad idea at every level. I have a better suggestion. Call in the UN troops. They are used to be placed, unarmed, as targets in the middle of a no win, guaranteed lose situation.
 
I think this is a good thing.If their police can not handle the gangs then they should call for outside help.

And what happens when they get fired on? Or when they fire back? This plays out one way...completely worthless exercise right up until someone takes some form of action at which point city government officials and community condemn and attack racist guardsmen.
 
Chicago doesn't need the national guard, LOL. Chicago needs a Mayor who isn't dumb, a better education systems to deter at-risk kids from turning to violence and an end to destabilizing policies that caused the rise in gang activity in the first place.

A better education system will do precisely jack **** n Chicago without 1-real job opportunities and 2- a zero tolerance crime policy and a whole lot more criminals in prison (at the INSISTENCE of black community leaders). As ****ty as things are, people have to stop making excuses for the criminal behavior.

but that would only make another problem worse, the problem of overcrowding prisons. besides if we do decide to put more criminals in prison, it would also mean spending more money on housing them, feeding them, and other prison related costs.

If chicago had a better education system, it would open up more oppertunitys for high level jobs that require a diploma or collage education, or at least completing high school.

Who in their right mind is going to open a business in the "Hood"?

When it comes to murderous thugs, rapists, etc...there is a simple solution. Build more prisons. Pay what it costs. the alternative is to release them back into society...and why would you want to do that to those communities???

The education component with the goal of MAYBE possibly being able to compete for some rapidly diminishing high end jobs...thats just a completely thoughtless 'solution'.
