Rule #1: Use enough gun |
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/20...ty-funeral-violence/ Violence at cemeteries, and during funeral processions, in Cook County is increasing. A Hillside police chase is just one example of some of the violence. Chief Joe Lukaszek says three guns were recovered from the stolen SUV, which had just left a cemetery. “There’s no respect for the dead anymore,” he said. Cemeteries in Hillside are the final resting place for many gang members killed in Chicago. Funeral processions from the city often end up on the expressways, which lead to dangerous situations. “People, literally, are jumping on other sides of the road, driving next each other, weaving in and out of traffic, guns being waived out of cars. There’s been shots fired from vehicles, as well,” Sheriff Tom Dart said. As a result, Dart is creating a new task force to tackle the problem. It will be comprised of community leaders, citizens and law enforcement, as well as cemetery and funeral home owners. “These individuals will help us to determine what types of things we can put in place to ensure that people have safe funerals,” said Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin. Rev. Ira Acree says communities also need to step up and have tough conversations with those causing the trouble. “There has to be a point where the buck stops. Something has to be sacred, and we got to respect our families. Simple as that,” he said. Chief Lukaszek says the task force is a good idea, but agrees that accountability is needed to end the violence. “We need our judicial system to enforce what laws are on the books. We need our states attorneys to prosecute the criminals and put these people behind bars.” Dart said he hopes to have the task force in place by May, as summer is historically when Chicago sees an uptick in shootings and murders — which, of course, means more funerals. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed. Luke 11:21 "Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." -- George W. Bush | ||

Animals have been shown to mourn their dead....not so much with these. "No matter where you go - there you are" | |||

Told cops where to go for over 29 years… |
Call me old fashioned, but this is one of those problems that would solve itself if Chicago did something to reduce the “need” for funerals... What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???  | |||

I thought more gun control meant less crime? I'm confused. | |||

Yep, Mount Carmel Cemetery. The likes of Capone, and many of his partners and adversary's. My Grandparents and other family members are buried there too, no connection!

Sheriff Dart makes the Sheriff in Broward County Florida look like the Sheriff of the century. Dart is probably the most incompetent Sheriff in America. "Rev" Ira Acree who I know personally, is possibly the countries biggest racist hiding behind a pastors collar. Think of the worst racist you know and then multiply Acree by ten. Both are in this for power. Dart smells blood in the water and is looking to make a run for something, maybe Mayor or County Board President and Acree is just trying to build his credentials with those that hate white people. | |||

Thanks for providing some context. I've never heard of either of these idiots. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed.

Build a special road just for these funerals or set aside one day out of the month for them and clear the roads of peaceful, law-abiding people. Then let the problem sort itself out. I started to write "More seriously..," but realized I can no longer take this kind of thing seriously. Not that these aren't serious issues, but nobody who can change anything will change anything that matters. They just keep doing the same stupid things while everything burns to the ground around them. I simply do not care, any more. How utterly sad is that?  "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe "If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher | |||

Of course Fart could lock these POS gang bangers up and forego the community organizers involvement but then it would not be Cook County. We don't want to offend criminals, we would rather put millions of law abiding citizens in harms way because these animals want to shoot, and drive recklessly, endangering everyone. DART is a political POS hiding behind a Law Enforcement uniform. | |||

Tell me why any decent American should give even half a crap if every one of these animals kills each other off. | |||

The gang numbers are: 60o gang factions 70,000 gang members. A gang can sell up to $10,000 of heroin each day. I'm sure politicians care about these number. Oh, sorry, you said "decent Americans."
