The UN has no authority or business interfering with what is happening in Chicago. It is up to the people of Chicago to end the violence. The people through their inactivity and complacent attitude toward law enforcement is what allows the escalation of the violence the city now experiences.

It's obvious that the places that have the MOST GUN CONTROL have the highest murder rates. Why? Because law-abiding citizens are disarmed and the criminals know it. We don't have murder rates like this anywhere in Virginia.....because most Virginians are armed. "An armed society is a polite society." -- Thomas Jefferson

CPT Gregory Hafera - I agree, but it is the people who elect these morons and it is up to them to get rid of them. They need to put an end o the extreme liberal rule that is destroying the city throughout.

This is colossally stupid. Chicago has a murder problem because it has liberal idiots running the place. Democrats have controlled Chicago for going on a century, they have implemented their liberal policies, they jumped on the Obama "blame the cops" bandwagon and experienced the Ferguson effect. If they want to get serious about reducing the number of murders, they need to abandon their touchy-feely sanctuary crap, they need to ignore race numbers in crime, and they need to support their cops. They could handle this on their own, but they have to re-prioritize. And if they need help, they'll get it from the federal government, not from the UN.

While I agree I'm up for anything short of an air strike. 70,000+ gang member population vs 11,000 cops on patrol. Nation needs policies that place mandates on those getting federal and state aid - no high school diploma no aid. Get caught selling drugs while on aid no more aid and so on.

One of the rats, Tony Rezko, who helped tear down those projects was indicted and sentenced to 10 years. The rat was a friend of the previous president, who was linked by his rival in the 2007/2008 democrat primary, hillary clinton, but it still didn't stop the refuges from those projects from voting for the asshole.
The issues in chicago are proof you get who you vote for. A vote can have consequences.

Barack Obama and Tony Rezco's Chicago real-estate connection could spell trouble for the...
If Obama becomes a presidential candidate, his relationship with Rezko is certain to be raked over by the Republicans, who will be ruthless in zeroing in on their challenger's weak points and poor past judgments

Outreach and touchy feely doesn't work with hardened criminals that are living large from their lifestyle. The criminals don't want training or jobs because they are rolling in cash from their efforts. Does a 15 year old want to sit through High School, attend trade school, to barely make a living wage when he can make a thousand bucks a day slinging drugs? This is an intentional exaggeration but in principle is what it will take, or something similar. Tell any friendlies to get out while they can. Set up temp lodging for them outside the AO. Declare martial law. Send a well armed force and put them on line, with a contingent of bulldozers and combat engineers/demo personnel in trace. Assault through the objective and bulldoze what remains. Once they see what they are faced with they will bug out for the most part. Some won't and that's unfortunate, but they aren't contributing to society now and refuse to change. Repeat as required. Rebuild and repopulate. Don't allow them to infiltrate back in. NGOs and LEOs can clean up what remains. Other cities will take notice. Any surviving criminals will figure out that their lifestyle is no longer viable and adjust accordingly or find another country. Crime will go down, and property values will go up. Jobs will be created, so they can drop their AK and pick up a shovel, and still be alive. No, I don't condone this other than in concept, and realize it's not a viable option. Plan B is just talk about it and get nothing done.

yep, and all we ever do is talk about it. Just like the endless wars in Afghanistan and Iraq...
