Chicago-National Guard

[DOGS THAT BARK]

http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/...fight-violence-with-national-guards-help.html

Two state representatives called on Gov. Pat Quinn Sunday to deploy the Illinois National Guard to safeguard [URL="http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/neighborhoods.html?region=1435491"]Chicago[/URL]'s streets.
[URL="http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/neighborhoods.html?region=1435491"]Chicago[/URL] Democrats John Fritchey and LaShawn Ford said they want Quinn, Mayor Richard Daley and [URL="http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/neighborhoods.html?region=1435491"]Chicago[/URL] Police Supt. Jody Weis to allow guardsmen to patrol streets and help quell violence. Weis said he did not support the idea because the military and police operate under different rules.
"Is this a drastic call to action? Of course it is," Fritchey said. "Is it warranted when we are losing residents to gun violence at such an alarming rate? Without question. We are not talking about rolling tanks down the street or having armed guards on each corner."

So far this year, 113 people have been killed across [URL="http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/neighborhoods.html?region=1435491"]Chicago[/URL], the same number of U.S. troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan combined in the same period, Fritchey said.

Why don't you go ahead and move this, Jack.

TIA & YTB!!

Where is the violence coming from? I read the article but it doesn't say what the cause is. I never have thought of Chicago as a violent city, has it always been this way or is it something new.

Philadelphia always has a high count too. I checked and its 81 so far this year but other years I think it has been at the top or very close to it. Never heard of them bringing in National Guard though.

It must be Obama.

Yeah,

It should be moved, it's only on all the news networks.

If a topic has to do with government, governing or religion, it has it own forum. . . y'now the one that you post in and get 1, 2 or 10 views. It's right above the dumpster if you forget

 

[Lumi]

I'm not concerned about my view count, but obviously you are concerned with mine and your own.

Maybe one the light will go on for you bob, only if jack tells you it's ok

Things that deal with horse racing have their own forum as well but I didn't see you in the two Derby post saying to move them. :shrug:

[ppabart]

And very rarely do horse threads lead to Raymond dropping N bombs. ....Not saying it hasn't happened, but it's just not as often.
