The Chicago Way?

[fightingquaker13]

Under the "You've Got to be Kidding me. Pyle"! heading, here is this from the Windy City.
The Police Chief sits down with gangleaders and threatens them with RICO prosecution if the violence doesn't stop (why he hasn't been DOING this rather than just now threatening it is left unasked). The gangs reponse? Hold a press conference to complain about how oppressed they are! Mind you, these weren't "activists" acting as gaang mouth pieces, just straight up self identified gang leaders.WTF?

Hey, Bangers are people too you know.
Not every one can be born lucky.
Your insensitive comments may damage their sense of empowerment.

Racist.

Maybe GANG is a new religion? Wouldn't want to oppress anyone now would we.

I always wondered how they get their fingers to bend and morph into "Gang" symbols.....

Wanna stop gangs and gang violence? Kill the bastards and their peons! Live life as you want, but be prepared to defend your life from those that don't give a shit if you live or die. I'm a survivor, and I will live as such.

The best way to stop the crap is be prepared to defend yourself at all times.

69-year-old grandmother in Alabama shoots burglar during robbery attempt

A gun-totin' granny in Alabama shot an would-be intruder during a late-night robbery attempt on Monday.

Ethel Jones, a 69-year-old widow, was in the bathroom when she heard someone outside her home in Decatur, Alabama around 3 a.m.

"I heard somebody at the back door and then around at the front door," Jones told the Decatur Daily. "I said to myself, 'Somebody's fixin' to break in.' "

---snip---

"I hope this will make people have second thoughts before they break into a home in our neighborhood," Jones said.

Most gang members are young adults, felons, and or crackhead/crack dealers, living in the inner city slums. This pretty much sums up Obummers voting base. Don't want to piss off your voting base.

Why doesn't BHO invite all the parties together and have a Beer?  A few beers with the bros, smoke a couple of "fat boys" and everything should be Okey Doke!  After all, it's the Chicago way!
