61 people shot in Chicago with 0 arrests !

[Votto]

weve all heard the tragic news of the 61 people shot "9 killed and 52 wounded" during the labor day weekend .. we've had several threads on the subject on USMB .. bur what many don't know is that there have been no arrests made in connection with those killings and shootings ! that means that right now the criminals responsible for 52 shooting victims and 9 murders are on the loose in the City of Chicago ! if that's not a glaring sign that violent crime in Chicago is out of control and the city is in a state of emergency I don't know what is ! is the fact that not only were 61 people shot in one weekend but there have been no arrests made in connection to said shootings reason enough to send in the Feds and the national guard to get control off the situation ?

there are several paragraphs in the report with info on the different shooting locations and none have indicated an arrest ! an example from the link is below ..

Investigators were interviewing a person of interest in the East Essex Street homicide but no arrests have been announced, according to police.

But if you arrested them that would be racist unless they be all white folk and such.

I'd like the full report before I fly off the handle.

Sorry to be a pain, but I just thought you should know about the NY Slime. Us geezers have dealt with that issue for a while.

oh I know about em .. I used the leftist NYT link to use against Dems that may claim its fake news ..

 

[yidnar]

The only way the situation can be saved is by arming as many people with handguns as possible as quickly as possible.

armed law abiding citizens don't commit drive by shootings ..

These statistics say something—and what they say is that the people running these cities don't care. It's not their children being killed. They're not in danger. It's something they've chosen to accept as normal. It's also pathetic.

Perhaps the solution is to require the elites who rule Chicago—and maybe even the governor—to live in these communities and witness their own kids being shot down. Maybe then they'd feel some empathy for the people suffering.

What's even more pathetic is that if someone points out the fact that it's mostly Black people killing other Black people, that person can be accused of being racist—just for identifying an obvious problem.

Trump seems to be the only one in the country with the courage to address this, but unfortunately, he can't act. He can't send the National Guard into Chicago without the governor's acquiescence or a Supreme Court order.

So, these poor people are just left to fend for themselves. I feel sorry for them. I feel empty for them. But there's nothing I can do about it.

most of the black folks living in inner city crime zones are good people .. the majority of the crimes are committed by a small % of repeat offenders and gang members .. maybe its time to designate domestic gangs as terrorist orgs ..

That's why it's essential to get every citizen and resident armed as soon as possible to halt this epidemic of shooting.

This is one case where socialistic weapon distribution is forgiveable, even admirable. And a decent supply of ammo.

That will sort the problem.

If only there were more guns on the streets already.

you are using childish leftwing sarcasm ..how about voting out dem mayors, judges and DAs .. and voting in republican leaders that go after the criminals ..

 

[scruffy]

no paywall link .. Im not subscribed to the NYT .. and I pulled it right up .

WTF is this stupidity with NYT paywalls?

I can read the article just fine, and I haven't paid the NYT a penny, nor would I.

Probably leftard lawfare.

No way. I'm supporting the 2nd Amendmenters' arguments.

Why do you hate guns?

The streets need to be flooded with firearms to stop firearm crime.

I mean, if there were enough firearms out there the USA wouldn't be having this problem, right? The only problem with guns in America is there isn't enough of them.

I'd have guessed you'd be all for states' rights. Silly me.

I'd have guessed you'd be all for states' rights. Silly me.

I'm for the rights of the citizens of Chicago.

And people and families everywhere.

Stability is required to raise children. I know this, I have two of them.

Stability can not be had when there's a murder every day and people are afraid to walk the streets.

I do scientific work for people in the Chicago area. I speak with them every day. They're scared to work late in the lab because they don't want to walk home at night.

The rights of individuals trump states' rights every time.

As laid out in the US Constitution?

It's almost as though crime recorded as decreasing demonstrates an insufficient solution.
