Chicago Is Hopping!

CHICAGO (CBS) ― An estimated 123 people were shot and killed over the summer. That’s nearly double the number of soldiers killed in Iraq over the same time period.
In May, cbs2chicago.com began tracking city shootings and posting them on Google maps. Information compiled from our reporters, wire service reports and the Chicago Police Major Incidents log indicated that 123 people were shot and killed throughout the city between the start of Memorial Day weekend on May 26, and the end of Labor Day on Sept. 1.
Now that looks like a community that needs some organizing. Barack, get back to the South Side and organize that place. Quit playing patty-cake with your styrofoam columns and get to work.

Yep, a community due for some change.
Yeah, it’s more than the US soldiers body count, but Bush has little to do with Chicago so it’s considered an MSM non-issue.

Wait Wait! Guns are banned in Chicago! This is impossible!

This death toll is even worse than that inflicted at The Battle of the Kool Moe Dee concert in the 80s.

Fivefeetoffury defines ‘community organizer’ as “a loser who helps other losers stay losers.” Obama wants to train hordes of them paid for by the taxpayer at up to $1800 a month, plus paid health and child care. College, too. Check this out at the History News Network.
Go visithere.

OK, so I’m hopeless in the link dept. Go to History News Network, take a left, and then go to “Obama’s Red Guards” by Judith Apter Klinghoffer.
Then please send me a link on how to make a link.

How many police officers need to risk life and limb to stop this madness? We need to just withdraw.
These gangland civil wars never end. It’s always been that way & will be in the future.
Just draw down the police and pull out of Chicago, right Obama?

Good point Terry. The police surge has obviously not worked. It’s time to bring our policemen home.

“The police surge has obviously not worked.”
The Chicago police are busy eating donuts and taking bribes. They can’t be bothered with a spate of murders.
Obama – Kenyan word for wuss.
