At least 58 people have been shot, eight fatally, across Chicago over Labor Day weekend, including a drive-by attack that left seven victims wounded, according to police.

The violent holiday weekend came as President Donald Trump renewed threats to send federal agents and National Guard troops to Chicago over the objections of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.

"Chicago is the worst most dangerous city in the World, by far. Pritzker needs help badly, he just doesn't know it yet. I will solve the crime problem fast, just like I did in DC. Chicago will be safe again, and soon," Trump wrote on his social media platform on Tuesday, pointing out gun violence in Chicago over the holiday weekend and repeating an earlier suggestion that federal intervention is needed to combat crime.

During a White House news conference on Tuesday, Trump said he's already made the decision to send National Guard troops to Chicago.

"We'll we're going in," said Trump, declining to say when the National Guard troops would arrive in Chicago.

Surely Governor Pritzker can see that his polcies are not working for the people of Chicago.

Right?

During a news conference Tuesday afternoon, Pritzker, a Democrat, called Trump's remarks "unhinged."

"No, I will not call the president, asking him to send troops to Chicago. I've made that clear, already," said Pritzker, who appeared at the news conference with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.

Citing information he has gotten about Trump's plan from "unauthorized patriotic officials inside the government" and "from well-sourced" news reporters, Pritzker said the president is going to "deploy armed military personnel to the streets of Chicago."

"Unhinged?"

I suppose the killings are normal, if decrying them is "unhinged."

Just another normal day in the lives of a Democrat-run blue city.

Why can't a Republican win an election there if what they offer is so much better? Meanwhile, a city 1/10th Chicago's size has 10-15 shootings and that's OK.

 

[bluzman61]

Same old, same old. The Dems have ruined the city unfortunately.

 

[odanny]

You people have no idea where all these shootings are even happening. How much you want to bet that Trump sends these soldiers into downtown Chicago, where none of these shootings are happening?

When he does this, you know it is all bullshit, as he would not even know where the crime is taking place.

Just wait and see if these troops are around Michigan Ave. and the lakefront, where they will get maximum visibilty, or the southern and western suburbs where all the shooting is happening.

You're all out front with the messaging on Chicago today, kind of like trained seals.

After Trump sends in the National Guard and the Federal Marshalls who will make Chicago safe for decent folk again, I imagine a Trump supporting candidate for Governor or Mayor of the City will slide in like Pete Rose.

How interesting that Democrats fall back on their playbook from the fifties: Crying "states rahts!" when the federal government steps in to stop murders of young black men.

If only the Feds were working with the state.

Is that why murders in DC dropped off to near-zero? Because Trump did not know where the shootings were happening?

The Guard are picking up trash and not being paid. The Guard are coming from states with higher crime rates.

 

[Seymour Flops]

The Guard are picking up trash and not being paid.

Oh, yeah. First time in history that soldiers - SOLDIERS! - were ordered to pick up trash, right?

You should google the phrase "Army police call."

Voters in Chicago replaced a disgraced Lori Lightfoot with Brandon Johnson. Obviously they're not the brightest. You've gone from failed progressive to an even further left progressive that's been an even bigger disaster than Lightfoot.

Pretty normal for Chicago. In fact, over all homocide is down in the windy city, compared to previous years. I don't go there or wish to go there, so, tough sh#t to the people that do choose to go there, for their poor choices in voting, community standards, local schools, family standards, general acceptance of lifestyle, etc. I could give-a-sh#t, but I don't.

If they were at work it never would have happened.

So the Pillsbury Doughboy's heart wasn't broken after 58 people shot and 8 dead during the weekend?

Pritzker 'deeply concerned' about ICE targeting Chicago area Mexican Independence Day events

Governor J.B. Pritzker said he is "deeply concerned" that ICE will target Mexican Independence Day events in Chicago during a news conference Tuesday.

If they were at work it never would have happened.

Next thing you know is Democrats demanding video streaming platforms to give out free streaming services to prevent shootings during the weekend. The excuse, if they have access to free streaming, they would glue to the television instead of shooting each other outside.

 

[drudge X]

The Guard are picking up trash and not being paid. The Guard are coming from states with higher crime rates.

Which US cities experienced 58 people shot this past weekend? I don't believe Baghdad or any city in Mexico had even half of that total.

Tell their families.

Their families are not the ones crying about it.

That's you.

Same old, same old. The Dems have ruined the city unfortunately.

When has Chicago not been violent?
