Rahm blamed it on family values(I was shocked). And the weather(global warming). And if course guns. Family values is a GOP thing, so they'll blame the weather and guns. Those are liberal agendas.

 

P.S. New York under DiBlasio has potential to rival Chicago . Give it time.

 

Mayor decries weekend violence: 'It's whether you have values'

April 21, 2014|By John Byrne | Tribune reporter

 

Mayor Rahm Emanuel today decried the weekend violence that left at least nine people dead and at least 36 wounded in Chicago, calling for adults around the city to instill the right values in their children and to stand up for the safety of their neighborhoods.

 

Emanuel acknowledged the warm weather played a role in the spike in shootings as more people spent time outside over the weekend. But he said there are many things Chicagoans can do to counteract the violence.

 

"Every child deserves a childhood, regardless of where they live. But to do that, our city and community, the neighborhoods that make up this city, cannot live by a code of silence," Emanuel said at a news conference at an Edgewater school to announce more international baccalaureate programs. "They have to live by a moral code."

 

"Now I've read some of this, and I just want to say this, when some people go 'Well, it's the weather.' It's whether you have values," the mayor said. "Yes, weather's an impact. Where you put police is an impact. Whether you have summer jobs, after school programs, camps, summer reading programs. We have to do that and more."

 

Emanuel said he spoke to the parents of five children who were shot over the weekend, as is his custom, calling it the most difficult part of his job. "I want them to know that I love them, I care for them and their city cares for them, and we will be there as many tomorrows as it takes," he said.

 

The mayor also said he welcomes the new violent crimes section created by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Chicago to try to counteract the violence.

 

"When (U.S. Attorney Zachary Fardon) first came into office, this is exactly what we talked about," Emanuel said. "I don't know whether it means more resources, I don't know what it exactly is, but I'm pleased they're doing it."

apparently in Chi-town the medical examiner would not play ball on properly (mis)classifying deaths according to the crime categories the king wanted them in and she got fired... replaced with a crony who knows how to properly hide "bad" crimes and emphasize "good" crimes

I won't tolerate your intolerance, because I hate hate.

Regarding why only in Chicago. It's inner cities everywhere. I think Chicago's per capita murder rate is something like 7-10 per 100k. Camden NJ is something like 60 per 100K. Chicago just wins on volume. Rahm hit it square on the head with family values, but that's a conversation they don't want to have seriously.

 

As an aside, my good friend just took his family to DC this week for school break. He went to the National Zoo on Monday. Turns out is was African American Family Day. The zoo was closed down due to a shooting while he was there. Seems like an annual tradition at this event. I guess he should have gone on White Dude day, but they don't have that because it's racist.

Dead, in jail or hustling drugs with the hommies. What a disaster liberalism is.

As long as their are millions to be made (billions) selling drugs, this will never ever ever change.  Carry on.

 

And there is your answer. Prohibition did not work for the same reason. The war on drugs is the single largest failure ever dreamed up by the Government. It’s past time we as a nation had a serious talk about drugs and the entire drug culture. Not a liberal just a realist, how many more dead folks before our government gets it?

No, that title goes to beach replenishment. No contest.

More than a pack of potheads with the munchies. He is worried about mental health risks of pot, but diabetic coma is cool. :th: Bet someone within 10 feet of him at this very moment is on Abilfy or Xanex or Valium or Prozac. Thats cool too. :th:

 

And I promise you he is within a shot glass toss distance to a raging alcoholic on his staff.
