Wow Chicago has some serious problems. A proposal to put the national guard on Chicago streets is being considered. What are the people of Chicago and Illinois doing or not doing that creates this kind of environment/problem?

If you look at the history of Chicago you'll see that from it's beginning it's been the most crime ridden city per capita in America.

Wow! That's pretty wild. It's a great city. But I have heard that the Chicago PD is notorious for being the most corrupt police force in the nation. Who knows what the hell is going on out there.

lol



EDIT: Hey wait! Let me add that those of us in rural Illinois hate Chicago. Their politics dominate our state and have destroyed it. This place is screwed, if I had any money I'd move to Iowa. But since I don't have any money, I'll just stay here and enjoy the free handouts.

That kind of suggestion is not much better than suggesting he's corrupt because he's black. If he's corrupt, show me. Otherwise, gtfo

I love Chicago, but it doesn't surprise me that they'd do something like this. Also what Juan said.

Well that is your race-obsessed opinion and that doesnt even make sense, but I do have to ask you why you think you can make me gtfo of my own thread punk?

From a conversation I overheard:

Duder #1: "Yeah I was in Chicago just last night. I went and picked my people up. They're staying with me for a little while. Need to get them some jobs."
Duder #2: "You're whole family gone 'den?"
Duder #1: "Shit, my Uncle is goin' up Michican stay with his sister in Detroit."

That's right,.... things are so bad,

PEOPLE ARE MOVING TO DETROIT!

Yesterday news broke that two Illinois state representatives have called upon Governor Quinn to utilize the National Guard to quell the rise in gang related violence tearing Chicago apart.

http://www.examiner.com/x-40796-Chicago ... -the-guard

This comes as surprising news from two Democrats John Fritchey and LaShawn Ford both of whom are asking Governor Quinn, Mayor Daley, and Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis to consider using the National Guard to augment the Chicago Police who are already stretched thin and have no available funds to hire and train additional officers. Fritchey has said that while it seems like a drastic measure, "its warranted when we are losing residents to gun violence at alarming rates, we are not talking about rolling tanks down the street or having armed guards with machine guns at every corner, we merely want to create a heightened presence on the street".

Recent statistics show that a mere 9% of city blocks in Chicago is where this violence occurs and has so far this year claimed 113 lives, the same number of military personnel killed in action while deployed into Iraq and Afghanistan during the same time period. Weis previously identified these hot spots and announced plans to create a 100 person team comprised of selected and volunteer officers to handle the rise in crime in these areas. Weis has said he is not in favor of the idea as the military and the police operate under different rules and protocol.
