[Maximum Overkill 2,170]

CHICAGO (WGN) — It’s been a violent Labor Day weekend in Chicago so far, with dozens of shooting victims and multiple deaths reported around the city since Friday evening.

The Chicago Police Department will release official numbers Tuesday morning, but as of early Monday, NewsNation local affiliate WGN News counted 50 people shot, including eight killed, since 5 p.m. Friday.

The youngest person shot so far appears to be a 14-year-old boy, and at least three of the weekend shootings included multiple victims.

According to WGN’s count, this year’s Labor Day weekend violence may have already surpassed last year’s, when a total of 31 people were shot.

It's a War Zone!!! 52 people shot, That's worse that Afghanistan 

[squistion 2,317]

The Labor Day weekend violence still does not justify occupying the city with the National Guard.

Strangely all the liberals that were posting heartfelt messages on their Facebook pages demanding change and scoffing at prayer after the trans shooting will be silent. 

Must just be on the lake.

Idle hands are the devil's workshop.  All these people have free time because of holidays from their jobs... meh, who am I kidding, these shooters probably don't have jobs.

How did Wash. D.C. care this weekend?

I'll assume your concerns are the same as the DC mayor. That Trump's crime fighting measures will unfairly impact criminals.

https://babylonbee.com/news/dc-mayor-warns-trumps-crime-fighting-measures-will-unfairly-impact-criminals 

But seriously, how long have we been hearing about the violence/murders in Chicago ? Answer: A long focking time.

Finally, we have a President who is willing to make a serious attempt to begin cleaning up the mess.

 

Democrat mayors & people like you hate this for 2 reasons.

1: Trump

2: If it succeeds in making the cities in question safer, it's an admittance that years of democratic governance have failed to address it.

Fun Fact: Occupying the streets of any major city with armed troops will make it safer.

But unless Trump intends to station the National Guard or US military permanently in Chicago, it will just be a short term fix and the crime rate will return to normal once the NG are removed.

If it's only a short term fix, what's the long-term fix ?

IOW, if having a NG presence isn't for you or the mayors of these cities, what are you going to do to address it ?

Because all life's matter, especially black lives. I'll never understand people preaching about saving lives.....and then setting the bar low.....

AI Overview

Solving Chicago's murder problem requires a multifaceted, community-centered approach, including evidence-based violence reduction strategies like street outreach and focused deterrence, increased collaboration between law enforcement and community organizations, greater investment in social services and mental health care, and efforts to address underlying causes of crime such as poverty and unemployment. Data-driven decision-making and programs like the City of Chicago's Violence Reduction Dashboard are also crucial for tracking progress and targeting interventions.

Then why do Democrats vote to Defend The Police?

Who is going to pay for all these 'additional investments' & is there any guaranteed ROI ?

Probably a lot cheaper than paying for a 24/7 occupying force of US Troops.

Have you ever considered that with the economy that exists today, there aren't enough living wage jobs to support the number of people in our country ?

I believe that's a big part of the problem, but it's something most people don't like to discuss. I started paying attention to that idea when I read an article in 2005.

 

The gist of it was this.

(Worldwide)

In 1980, there was 1 living wage job created for every 3 children born. 25 years later, it was down to 1 job for every 16 children born.

Squis admitting that chicago leaders wouldnt be able to take advantage of a several week break in violence was not on my bingo card.

That’s why nothing ever gets done. Most urban violence is centered in bad neighborhoods filled with people who don’t vote. Easier to ignore it than fix it.

Dems have bad ideas, like defund the police and not prosecuting petty crime. And Reps don’t care except pointing fingers at Dems.

Nobody wants to throw money at the problem or do anything to fix it.

In Philadelphia Muslims shut down the public streets to pray. They probably pray for all the homos to die.  They hate them.

Then what does?   Every holiday weekend in Chicago is like the wild, wild west.

People don't care because it is blacks shooting blacks, but it needs to stop.

Why? It's funny how liberals openly don't care and openly tell us this daily.
