Hey, Rahm ... You ARE the problem.
You and 86 years of the Democrat ownership of Chicago. You have destroyed a great city, and now with your buddy Madigan are destroying a great state.

If it's "totally unacceptable” why don't you resign?

Over the course of 84 hours during the Independence Day holiday in Chicago, 82 people were shot, prompting calls from Mayor Rahm Emanuel to put a stop to gun violence in the city.

Many of the shootings, which began about 3:30 p.m. Thursday, took place in some of the most violent South Side neighborhoods. Five people were reportedly shot by Chicago police, including two who died. The higher death toll was reported Tuesday by the Chicago Tribune.

Speaking to an audience at the Miles Davis Magnet Academy on the city's South Side, Emanuel called for better policing, better education, stronger gun laws and “building a sense of community” to address the city’s gun violence.

“I ask all Chicagoans, regardless of where you live … end the gun violence in our city,” Emanuel said, in video captured by the Sun-Times. “Wherever you are, wherever you live, the gun violence that was part of this weekend is totally unacceptable.”

Chicago has become the poster child for urban violence, fueled by gangs and involving drive-by shootings or attacks from cars on other vehicles. People of all ages have been shot on streets and in some cases while sitting on their porches. The weekend carnage is the greatest spate of gun violence so far this year, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Wow,what a speech. Send a copy to a friend who's insomniac, it'll put them to sleep in a minute. What leadership,what toughness, what BS.

Ya, he has no plan.
Just pass the buck. Blame it on "lax gun laws" in Indiana.
Everyone knows that the root of the problem isn't the gun, it's the breakdown of the family because of welfare dependency.
But the Democrats won't ever recognize their own failure.

I say they need to keep at it. We need higher numbers. MUCH higher.

Imagine if 2000 thugs a day died in Chcago. After a few weeks of that, it would get blissfully quiet.

Exactly. And the Feds can potentially be sued for a lot more money by the "child's" family than a broke city.

No, Chicago does not need the Feds. They need a Community Organizer.

Dear Rahm: Guns are not the problem, and gun control will not solve the problem. The problem is the culture that you breed. And until you acknowledge the truth, Chicago problems will only get worse.

Hmmm, it won't happen, FBI agents keep their weapons in their unlocked running vehicle while getting gas.

If a Fed did shoot and kill someone, the Chicago Community Organizers would melt down due to all the rules and regulations governing Federal Agent shootings (no interviews for 72 hours, no release of agents name, etc).

Chicago to sue Justice Department over sanctuary city policy
By Rick Moran

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a radio interview that the city would sue the Department of Justice over denial of Byrne grants because of their failure to cooperate with federal immigration officials.

The new policy punishes sanctuary cities for not cooperating with federal agents charged with enforcing immigration laws. The city was set to receive $3.2 million in grants.

Fox News:

The suit will claim that it’s illegal for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to withhold federal Byrne grants from cities the Trump administration believes aren’t cooperating enough with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, the mayor said.

Chicago this year expects to receive $3.2 million from the Byrne grant program, money mostly used to buy police vehicles and other equipment, the Tribune reported. The grants are named for Edward Byrne, a New York City police officer who was murdered in 1988.

“We are not going to be between picking our values of who we are as a welcoming city, and strengthening our police department,” Emanuel said in the interview.

In filing the suit, Emanuel is likely trying to court support from Chicago’s Latinos, who are wary of the Trump administration’s immigration policies, as well as gain clout among other big-city Democratic mayors as they try to block Trump initiatives, the newspaper reported.

The Justice Department declined to comment on Emanuel’s comments Friday.

On Thursday, Fox News reported that Sessions threatened to withhold anti-crime funding from four cities – Baltimore; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Stockton and San Bernardino, California – if they did not begin to cooperate more thoroughly with federal immigration officers.

Dear Mr. Mayor: You are "welcoming" to your city criminal illegal aliens who have been arrested for a serious crime and is therefore deportable. We're not talking about federal agents swooping into Hispanic neighborhoods rousting people to find illegal aliens. The reason for the denial of grants is that the city refuses to honor immigration "holds" for illegals arrested for a serious crime.

Perhaps residents of Chicago would be interested to know that you "welcome" violent criminals into the city. I'm sure they would be just as pleased as you are.

Courts in the past have ruled that cities can voluntarily refuse an ICE "hold" on an illegal already being held on another charge. To "encourage" cooperation, the federal government has decided that cities who play that game are ineligible for certain funds. The feds are not in the business of subsidizing police departments so that they can thumb their noses at the law.

Several other jurisdictions have already sued DoJ so it will be up to the courts to say whether US immigration law is for everyone, or only those who choose to obey it.

Wanna bet on what the courts will say on this one? Something tells me their decision, whatever it is, will be very bad for this country as a whole.

My hope is that DOJ appeals any negative rulings and drags these cases out for years into the future. In the meantime, while waiting for a final decision, none of this grant money is disbursed. Let see how long broke cities like Chicago can play this game.

Who did they borrow the money from to file the suit in the first place?

KMA Rahm.

So Rahm wants help from the feds to help deal with their crime/violence problem. And he wants to sue the feds re his harboring illegals who contribute to the crime/violence problem. And people swallow that?

Insanity? Stupidity? Industrial strength kool-aid administered IV??

^^^ Yep, you've got it!
You see, he wants to harbor the fugitives (undocumented Democrats)... but he wants the Feds (you and me) to pay for the consequences of harboring the fugitives.

You know, the same thought has occurred to me, too, para! Might need to get some of the actually innocent folks out first though.

Hey Rahm:
If the violence was due to Indiana's 'lax gun laws' wouldn't Indiana be having even a greater problem?
