The state and local governments have the resources to fight it. Either they use them or they don't. The scumbags wouldn't dare come near my county in Texas. They should bring along their own body bags if they do.

This has nothing to do with Black Lives Matter or any other protest. It also has nothing to do with police brutality or any police misconduct. It has all the appearances of a preplanned criminal enterprise. There were lookouts and there were UHaul trucks on site to carry away the loot.

There was a shooting of an armed, adult suspect on the south side and shortly after there was a false report on social media that an unarmed juvenile had been shot.

I’m not saying there might not have been copycats, but the main activities were definitely planned and criminal.

True police shootings are just an excuse to loot, riot and protest, they know and we know and Chicagoan's know.
George Floyd was one fat big excuse.

[MONEY]

The reason for the rioting/looting is that criminals know that State’s Attorney Kimberly Foxx will not prosecute those that get arrested.

The mayor is acting tough for the television and threatening that the rioters/looters will get arrested, all the while knowing that arrests are useless if the charges get dropped.

A cop was injured when a scumbag threw a brick through his windshield. Don't know the severity of his injuries, but if he was able he should have swung open his car door and killed the s.o.b. Clear cut case of self-defense. He could have easily had more bricks.

and completely accepted in these democrat run cities. sure they will pay it lip service the day after but when every signal you send is that you are not going to stop them its hard to think they take stopping the serious.

[GMB@BP]

Just read an article that BLM said the robbing, looting and destruction of property is completely justified as reparations.

If you are using that logic then its probably not much of a leap to assault, rape and murder in the name of reparations.

Yeah, its terrible what these looters are doing. There is No rhyme or reason. Not that I would ever justify but, if they were attacking say all fast food places, and their beef (for lack of better terms) was with fast food, then I could say should of saw it coming.
However, in this case, these are just straight vandals that need to be shot! Sorry if that offends, but reality is reality. The looters are putting peoples lives at risk DIRECTLY! This isn't a case of looting empty buildings (even though wrong).

I would just have to explain to the judge how I shot them as I was protecting my family.....

About 20+ years ago I was on waitng time in a rough part of San Francisco,A giant Breast Cancer awareness mobile van rolls on up...........with a fair sized SFPD escort.
While I'm waiting I'm talking with one of the police officers.....he said If they weren't there, the Breast Cancer Awareness doctors/nurses would be in harms way.
Think about it Ralph.......The breast cancer awareness professionals were giving free screenings..........saving lives.......well.....you can figure out the rest.
BTW:
The cop told me only a few neighborhoods needed police escorts.

I believe it. Back in the 80’s LAPD had “no go zones” and places called “animal car response zones” where 4 of the biggest LAPD Officers in the precinct would ride in an “Animal car” that was really anything from a Dodge truck to a Lincoln Continental. They carried baseball bats in the trunk. They would drive around backing up officers in certain neighborhoods

Those were some tough neighborhoods

Here's a good example of what should eventually happen in South Chicago.
Investment and support in communities that need it most.
Crime and shootings will be greatly reduced.

Not that conservative Americans want that.
Unless they are getting a slice of the action at the expense of others.

Conservatives aren't making improvements in Oakland,
and they won't be part of successful change in any decaying city.

Saying Democrats have not mismanaged would be a lie.
Chicago is definitely a victim of this - from Richard J. Daley in the 50s onwards.

Who is the best bet to turn things around there?
You know that it's no one from the Republican party.

Problem with that is that is not true,.
People are NOT going to invest in neighborhoods where violence and riots have been allowed to go unchecked. It is stupid to put your money into a place like that.

Why for you think most major cites do not have grocery stores in the bad hoods?

In Rochester, they rioted in the 60s and to this day, there are no grocery stores in downtown. Chicago is losing Macy;s I heard, so there are more jobs gone.
NYC is going to really suffer. Baltimore has been dead so long it is wonder no one has buried it yet.

HOW do we get people to invest in those hoods?
First of all, vote REPUBLICAN. Dems have not only allowed the decay to happen, they caused it.

TRUMP provided JOBS to minorities.
Without jobs, NO city is going to get better.
Fact of life, you CANNOT fix problems with welfare and other entitlements.
You NEED to have you population to be self-supporting and looking forward to doing even better. You know, CAPITALISM.

That racist photo (the way you used it) is what the democrat party has achieved the last 60 years.

They would riot in the streets against gentrification and unfair seizure of lands.

The best way to get both guns and criminals off the street is to bring back stop and frisk and dole out max punishment for ex felons carrying guns they should not have. The 25 year old Daniel Hambrick, already had 3 convictions for felon in possession of a gun. He was shot trying to avoid getting his fourth weapons violation. He had a total of 10 convictions for aggravated robbery, assault, drugs and weapons charges. If you look at the timeline he obviously wasn't spending much time in the can for the gun charges. On one of them it was obvious he did not even get jail time.



Anyone who thinks violent criminals won't find a way to get a gun even if you confiscated 90% of them is delusional. Democrats never can seem to lay the blame where it belongs.

[Inner Dirt]

the guns come from indiana


I would assume that makes all or most of them illegal. Virginia has some of the least restrictive gun laws in the USA. Only state residents are allowed to buy hand guns here. Out of state residents can only buy rifles and shotguns. I doubt it is legal to sell a handgun to an out of state resident in Indiana.


Gun laws have no effect on violent crime rates. Virginia is on the opposite of California in gun law restrictiveness yet they have double the violent crime rate that we do.


We don't need more gun laws, we need to enforce the ones we have.

Washington DC re-elected a crack smoking mayor, areas that vote heavily Democratic seem to often have very low standards. Last I checked Lori Lightfoot still had a slightly positive approval rating even though it has been dropping like a rock. It has to be the case of Democrats holding minorities to lower standards and she checks 3 boxes.

[Stevecsd2]

" The 25 year old Daniel Hambrick, already had 3 convictions for felon in possession of a gun."

And, unfortunately, Officer Delke, the Nashville, TN, police officer, is going to prison for 3 years for manslaughter for killing Daniel Hambrick. Delke shot him in the back when Hambrick was fleeing from a stolen car. In a very grainy video it looks like Hambrick had turned toward Delke with his arm raised. They found a gun under his body. Delke thought it better to take a 3 year manslaughter sentence than roll the dice with a jury on first degree murder, which it clearly wasn't.

I didn't know about Hambrick's long criminal history. Yes, get the criminals off of the streets and crime will go back down.
