Chicago IL: 150,000 gang members.

1. According to city law enforcement agencies, 80% of all shootings and murders in Chigago are gang releated.

2. Chicago's Murder rate soars by 72% in 2016; shootings up by more than 88%.

3. Interim Superintendent Eddie Johnson said in a statement. “In the coming weeks and months, I plan on meeting with and listening to

a range of Chicagoans — from activists and elected officials to ministers and parents — to find ways that we can come together

to build mutual trust and lasting partnerships that will make our streets safer for everyone.”

Not a word about enforcing the law! Is this the the liberal / progressive vision of hope and change for America?

As the former U.S. Attorney General, the nations chief law enforcement officer; Is this mayor Rahm Emanuel's vision of hope and change for America?

Is this Hillary Clinton's vision of a path forward for this nation?

Gang related k*****gs are common anymore and it is because of that POS Rahm that it is..

When campaigning he promised to increase the police force by 1000 "needed" officers.....What did he do when first in office, he CUT them by 500 saying the budget simply would not cover them..CUT them by 500...He also took from the clerk pool, leaving the police officers with triple the paper work and a lot of attention to "be friendly" to enhance co operation with these gangs..What a friggen dumb as* he is!!

I know from first hand having two friends on the force and one that is affiliated with the Heat--the motor cycle cops..They are done pretty much with all the paper work, the bad guys out before they can even process or the deals cut with these people to save going to court later..

They can not stand the snake Rahm as often referred to and he does not support them at all...He is all dollars and no sense and often to the detriment of the force..In retaliation the cops slowed down stopping people for speeding tickets etc..They won't even go into Southside unless the r**t team is with them and if its at night, oh well..Crime continues to escalate and yet pleas to Rahm for additional budget funds go unanswered or flat out don't have the budget right now!~~

It is going to hell quick and Rahm knows it but tells the cops be friendlier, my butt, Nail these pathetic gang members and put their sorry butt in jail, keeping there, not give these damn little slap on the wrist punishments for repeated offenders etc..They need a HARD nose position and a few kicking the you know what out of these so they see the cops aren't playing anymore..They KNOW just the opposite which keeps them in the offensive mode and they are truly offensive!!!

Thank you, informative, and they concentrate on some bad endings to make all look bad.

Clearly the liberal progressive path forward for our nation is the road to Anarchy, martial law, and a police state!
Hillary's next plan, place the "Clinton Foundation" in control of the U.S. economy, Bill Clinton would have no official status, he would be able to operate in total secrecy, closed door meetings, no official records, no FOIA problems and no oversight.
However there is still some cause for hope, many polls now indicate that distrust of Hillary has become a major issue in key
battleground states!

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Yes, clearly it is, especially if you use Chicago as the role model to what you don't want in your city, county, heck, state!!
Anarchy likely if things do not change with this e******n coming or the RNC/GOP try to take Trump out of it..People have truly had it and are being polite now, trying to get their message across..However, if the rigging for the e******n, as is suspected, goes forward I fear it could lead to civil unrest and Martial Law order quickly...I pray not and also say it would take a lot to get there but one can never dismiss the "unknown"....

Clinton Foundation~~what a joke, you mean the money laundry foundation for all that big money brought in by her Middle East supporters, isn't that just sweet....I'm surprised the Feds haven't latched on to it by now..But for her running for office she could well be having serious IRS problems with that little gem..Tax evasion does not elude my thoughts of it that's for sure...

I did see an article earlier that shows she and Trump are the most distrusted..I did not get an opportunity to read it but will...

As for hope, never give up, never stop hoping and always appreciate what we do have..We may not the next minute....
