Chicago Mayor and former Obama aide Rahm Emanuel raised eyebrows throughout the country Monday, telling his city’s residents that neighborhoods need to “step up” and help stem the escalating gun-violence sweeping the region.
“Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said no arrests have been made yet in the flurry of weekend shootings, which he said were not random, and were ‘fueled by gang conflicts.’ Instead, after 11 people were killed and 70 were shot in ongoing violence, Johnson said the onus was on the communities to take responsibility,” writes Fox News.
“I hear people holding us accountable all the time but I never hear people saying ‘these individuals out here on the street need to stop pulling the trigger.’ I never hear that,” Johnson said. “It’s the same individuals that continually commit those crimes. Where is the accountability for them?”
“My relatives, people I grew up with in the city call me all the time,” he said. “What worries me is in certain areas of the city we begin to normalize these things.”

I would tell this idjit Rahm that they probably would’ve already
if they could’ve and you’re complicit in the reason why it hasn’t happened yet.
What’s despicable is that you’re shirking the responsibility and now trying to foist it upon those citizens who’ve trusted you
to handle it…
Resign Now…
Unless you come to your senses and
re-issue legal conceal-carry permits so that the good ridance
can finally begin,
or you’re just blowing smoke…
If he was serious he’d want the ordinary people to be in control of more guns rather than to keep up with the gun control sham.
Still mostly about drug turf. In the seventies we seen the same between white gangs in bucktown/ wicker park and Spanish gangs in Humbolt Park. Almost 40 years and only the location has changed to south and west side mostly black gangs. But happening in Pilsen and other hoods with Spanish gangs. Remember gangs of New York movie was from the late 1800’s. Apparently gangs cannot be stopped. 100 years plus later and our leaders have not a clue ? So cops and politicians are going to be assisted by vulnerable community members. Sounds like Rahm wants to throw fish bait to the sharks to see what happens. Wow ! Not a solution to what apparently no one has a clue to addresss. Oh yes, another Father Fledger March should do the job. By now with their experience, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, or Al Sharpton should just step in and end this. Puzzle solved. Together these men have moved mountains in Chicago ! Or was/is it just money they been moving?
