58 People Shot, Including 8 Killed in Chicago over Labor Day Weekend,

[cnm]

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.

If they don't have double standards they don't have any standards. And Conservatives must have standards, it's what makes them Conservatives.

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.

The fact of the matter is when the National Guard are sent into Downtown Chicago where none of the shootings are happening, their very presence detures crime where those soldiers are standing. What that does is free up the cops to go elswhere where the shootings are happening. It's a matter of numbers and a high profile presence.. of course you would not and do not understand this..and you have no idea why crime suddenly dropped of in DC. It's a mystery to you.

This is not a solution. Crime didn't suddenly drop in DC.

White House Touts DC Crime Numbers It Previously Said Were False

“Trump, when confronted with data showing crime here already declining before he took over the city’s police force, has repeatedly dismissed the data as fake and manipulated.

But with the same agency now reporting continued drops in crime, his White House is eager to tout data it once derided as untrustworthy.”

“Total crime in D.C. is down 19% and violent crime is down 30%,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during Thursday’s press briefing, ticking off double-digit percentage reductions in homicides, robberies, car thefts and assaults. “These numbers prove the president’s bold actions to make D.C. safe and beautiful again are working just like he said they would.”

The numbers come from the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, which the president had previously accused of releasing fake crime data to create a false impression of safety. (The White House confirmed to HuffPost it’s using MPD numbers but declined to comment.)

When Trump first announced he’d commandeer city police, in response to a supposed “crime emergency” that coincided with a teenage assault on an administration staffer, city leaders and national Democrats all pointed out violent crime had fallen to a 30-year low. The trend went against Trump’s claims that the city was an increasingly violent hellscape, so he said it wasn’t true.

“D.C. gave Fake Crime numbers in order to create a false illusion of safety,” Trump wrote on Truth Social this month, announcing an investigation into alleged manipulation of data by D.C. police. “This is a very bad and dangerous thing to do, and they are under serious investigation for so doing!”

Surprise! White House Flips On Crime Data It Called ‘Fake’

Now that Trump has taken over the local police, a favorable crime trend suddenly reflects well on his administration.

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.

Wasn't Texas Democratic then?

Car jackings way down, 87% , It's just fine for a temporary solution to allow police to get a grip. Waht would you rather see? a National Guardsman standing in the subway, or a mentally Ill homeless person pushing a woman in front of a train, or lighting one on fire. Cops nowhere to be seen.

So if you are saying this^^^^ then you are suggesting that parents know more, and yes I agree….. so why do you fags always blame the public school, when all of this is on the parents.

Ummmm because Newsom signed into a law that gave the school the authority to do whatever they want with your children. Elon Musk didn't leave CA because of the state advocating parental rights.

Yes, and if the governer fails to stop the crime wave in his state AND he refuses help from the federal government to do so, he should be voted out by Louisianans the next election.

Why do you expect people to put up with these kind of crime rates? Is you hating Donald Trump really a good enough reason for them to watch their children being murdered?

Wasn't Texas Democratic then?

Yes, Texans of the fifties had an irrational hatred of Republicans back then. Just like people in New York, Illinois, and California do these days.

I can remember in the early 1980s Texicans shooting the car radiators of Yankees moving to Texas.

Have you asked them? Why are Tennessee guard in a city with less crime than Memphis?
