No.

No. I’m wondering why a Republican-controlled government, and the supposed greatest President ever, can’t influence.
The Democrats control Chicago.
The Republicans control the country.
So you support a Federal takeover of Chicago?

The Democrats have proposed, among other things, a ban on bump stocks. The Republicans have refused to consider it. They are too busy offering thoughts and prayers after the latest mass shooting.
So, just more lies from Mule - this guy Boykin is a Cook County Commissioner - so show me, as the headline on this thread says, where Rahm Emanuel asked for anything........ all those articles are about a county commissioner - not a representative of the city....
This story has been widely reported in Chicago and got a boost to the national level when Rahm Emanuel endorsed the call to bring in foreign mercenaries to combat crime in his city.
Of course the corrupt liberal media didn't cover it so you would be yet again uninformed.
I call bullsh!t again....this is from WGN, a Chicago station:
Boykin isn’t getting specific about what exactly he thinks the United Nations can do. But he says city and state leaders must make a total commitment to eliminating poverty, proving job opportunities and improving schools.
That has been Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s approach, and he points to what he calls signs of success: new companies are hiring in Chicago, the school system is improving and the number of shootings in the Englewood neighborhood are down.
"There was a story the other day in the paper about people feeling different about what’s happening," Emanuel said. "For all of us that know what Englewood has stood for before, it’s different and it’s the residents saying it."
As of Wednesday morning, 814 fewer people have been shot and there have been 624 homicides in Chicago, down 15 percent compared to 734 on this date last year.
But carjackings have surged in 2017. Chicago police say they're aggressively responding and making more arrests, but it's a difficult problem because police say most of the carjackings involve juvenile offenders who are treated differently in the justice system.
Asked for a headline to frame the story of Chicago violence in 2017, Emanuel said the city plans on adding a thousand cops, and taking care of kids with 115,000 in after-school programs, 31,000 in summer jobs and close to 7,500 in mentoring programs.
"The goal is to make sure that we’re not only reducing gun violence, but then giving our kids access to the type of mentoring and support so that they have a different choice in life," Emanuel said.
The mayor has his approach to dealing with gun violence -- and most city leaders have bought in.
The Republicans have refused to offer any legislation that would protect The American People's while getting illegal guns out of the hands of criminals.

Yeah, 6th grade English was difficult for him. All three times.
Just how many black people do you want murdered?
Can you rephrase this in a less sociopathic manner? I think what you are trying to say is anyone who isn't an extreme right winger tacitly supports violent racism and genocide, am I reading this correctly?
This thread has turned quite gross.

I don't think it's the lefties (whomever they are) that want the carnage to start. I think it's those stubborn Democrats that want the violence so that they can get people in an uproar, point fingers at Trump, have the Black Lives Matter etc. groups join together, march on Washington and demand Trump fix everything right away before there is civil war or revolution. There are high level groups and people who want America destabilized, because then they can put in place a government of THEIR choosing, so they use these groups like pawns to do their dirty work.
I think former First Lady, Michelle Obama could do some work with the dis-enfranchised of Chicago. She lived there, she knows what goes on and what the problems are. I think she is a strong positive role model that people could identify with, and if the crap hit the fan, she'd be able to hold her own, get on a public address system and ask 'you people want a can of whoop ass?' inner city people know what that is and they will stop fighting amongst themselves when they realize the real enemy is poverty, not each other.

What legislation would you like to see passed that the criminals will follow?
What legislation would you like to see passed that the criminals will follow?
The definition of a criminal is someone who ignores legislation. Inner-city gang violence isn't a gun issue. It's a socioeconomic issue, which isn't about Republican v Democrat because neither side has been able to improve that in my lifetime. As long as there is poverty, there will be inner-city crime. That's the byproduct of a free capitalist society.
The legislation that will achieve the goal, would be to place a top priority on funding under-developed communities with high-paying teaching jobs instead of $30k/year. Inner-city dysfunction is passed on from generation to generation because there are no leaders to show them a better way. Currently, there are no leaders at home, and no leaders at these dispicable schools because their low-paying teaching salaries attract the bottom of the barrel. No leadership anywhere in their life. Start by investing in the teachers so they can have positive role models that inspire them to go work and start a career. But unfortunately, every city teacher I've known speaks about how they simply don't have any money or resources. They often times spend their own money to initiate school projects. Sad!

Figures I have seen indicate that in 1965, 25% of black children were born out of wedlock, and in 2015 70% of black children were born out of wedlock. The 1965 date is important since welfare put in the "marriage penalty". A non-married female with children got almost the same benefits as if she were married with no income. If the husband worked, benefits went down. Thus fathers left the family, even if they still put money into family funds. The nuclear family of the poor was thus broken up by economics.
The trend was then started, and carried on for more than 40 years. Bill Clinton changed welare with the TAFN Act (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families).
Now, while all the suggestions you gave are pretty good, remember cost of living in different areas of the country. A starting salary of 30K in Ga is a fairly decent salary, while in NYC it might not even be enough to pay your rent.
Plus, salary isn't enough of a consideration. Don't know about your neck of the woods, but here teachers are paid on a scale by education and experience. Not a set rate.
Some teachers will not teach in certain schools because of incidents of violence and apathy.
The students have to be there to learn, not thug about or ignore the teacher. Schools have to be a safe heaven for learning. Until that happens, the school is never going to gain ground.
So, yes, I agree that there needs to be stronger leadership at home and at school. There needs to be more entry level jobs close to the ( I hate to use this word) ghettos where the poor live, and transportation in and out of those areas.
BUT, the legislation I was asking about was in response to the statement "The Republicans refuse to address gun control."
My response was: "What legislation you would like to see passed that the criminals will follow?"

what falls under your definition of a criminal? Is it someone who plans on committing a crime but hasn’t committed one ever? Someone who committed a crime many years ago but has been clean ever since? You’d have to define that more clearly before we can begin to answer your question.

The lefties constantly call for "gun control legislation" but refuse to support enforcement.
All laws are useless unless they are enforced.
Chicago, under complete Democrat control, plea bargained the criminals who used illegal guns to murder down to misdemeanors or just dropped the charges.
That will soon begin to change since President Trump's Justice Department is sending in federal prosecutors.

Emanuel and the city chose not to prosecute as did Obama.

President Trump is making sure the federal crimes are prosecuted.
Just how many blacks do you approve of being murdered?
That will soon begin to change since President Trump's Justice Department is sending in federal prosecutors.
And when he fails too, you’ll blame liberals, the boogeyman that you blame for your unhappiness. By the way, if you are unhappy with your job, money, and lonely life, it’s all your fault. You have nobody to blame but yourself. You are in charge of your own destiny, so the problems you have exist because you suck at life. Good day.
Just how many blacks do you approve of being murdered?
Now that you stated Trump is responsible for this, we know YOU approve of whatever the actual number is in 2018. So, if Trump allows 400 blacks to be murdered in 2018, we know you approve. Thanks for letting us know I guess?
Radio Station Manager says the UN troops are already in Chicago, and it is not just for the unrest there. There is a bigger problem, mainly that the State of Illinois is bankrupt. Now what do you think will happen if/when they cannot pay their bills or the people living there who work for them or are getting services (social programs)?
While Illinois is in trouble with pension debt, there are no UN troops in Chicago and the state is not going to declare bankruptcy..... geez.....
I guess a radio station manager would know better......... 😛

Every time I read one of your post, a few more brain cells die. But, somehow, I feel smarter knowing that you can’t tell fact from idiocy.
Rarely do thread titles get more ridiculous as they age, but...
I never post (or even read) these types of things but since I live here and it is near and dear to my heart I guess you could say, I will opine.
This thread is all over the place. There is no martial law in Chicago. The sky is not falling. Federal troops are not coming here. That's ridiculous.
We are one of the highest taxed places in the country. Penny a cent on any beverage with sugar in it? You got (well had) it. Doesn't seem like much but it is. You are taxing people to provide juice to their children? Yeah, that makes sense. Oh wait, you are worried about obesity and diabetic people. Sure.
Seven cents to get a bag to put your groceries in all with the goal of protecting the environment? Uh huh.
Property taxes here are insane.
But there's a reason why we are taxed so egregiously: It is a great place to live.
I could write a book on why it is but I won't pontificate on that.
Not perfect, nothing is.

Kennedy accuses Emanuel of 'strategic gentrification plan' to force blacks out of Chicago
Chris Kennedy, Democratic candidate for governor, speaks about current politicians and the status quo. He is joined by his running mate Ra Joy and others. Jan. 3, 2018. (Zbigniew Bzdak/Chicago Tribune)
Rick Pearson and Bill RuthhartContact ReporterChicago Tribune
Democratic governor candidate Chris Kennedy on Wednesday accused Mayor Rahm Emanuel of leading a “strategic gentrification plan” aimed at forcing African-Americans and other minorities out of Chicago to make the city “whiter” and wealthier.
“I believe that black people are being pushed out of Chicago intentionally by a strategy that involves disinvestment in communities being implemented by the city administration, and I believe Rahm Emanuel is the head of the city administration and therefore needs to be held responsible for those outcomes,” Kennedy said during a news conference about gun violence in North Lawndale.
Yes - Kennedy "believes" - real proof there... You left out other parts of the article, such as:
"Kennedy, an heir to the iconic Massachusetts political family, has sought to appeal to African-American voters, focusing on the issue of gun violence and questioning the fairness of educational opportunities and property taxation in black neighborhoods. The names of his uncle, the late President John F. Kennedy, and father, the late U.S. Sen. Robert Kennedy, still carry resonance among older black voters from the family’s leadership in the struggle for civil rights during the 1960s.
Kennedy, who has had a tough time raising campaign money, is searching for a path to victory in the March 20 Democratic governor primary. He has ramped up his critiques of the Democratic establishment at a time when rival J.B.

I left nothing out of the Chicago Tribune article son.
