Chicago Values: 10 People Shot Over Past 24 Hours
Image
According to the Godfather, Chicago has bigger problems to worry about, like the possibility of a Chick-fil-A opening.

Quote:
Ten people were wounded by gunfire in a handful of robberies and other attacks across the South and West sides over the past 24 hours, police said.

An 18-year-old was shot in the chest during a driveby shooting in the Pilsen neighborhood on the West Side and is in critical condition at John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County, police said. Police were called about 3:10 a.m. to the scene in the 1900 block of South Morgan Street after receiving a report of a person being shot and found a crowd surrounding the victim who was laying on the sidewalk.

Witnesses on the scene told police they observed a red Ford Explorer driving southbound on Morgan with approximately 4-5 people inside. Witnesses heard gunshots coming from the vehicle, which fled westbound on Cullerton Street. Witnesses told police they heard someone inside the Explorer shouting gang slogans. The victim doesn’t have any documented gang affiliations, police said.

No Joke: Chicago Erects Monument At Spot Where Barack And Michelle Had Their First Kiss
Image
North Korea has nothing on Chicago when it comes to Dear Leader worship.
Quote:
She was an attorney at a big Chicago law firm. He was a Harvard Law student who landed a job there as a summer associate. He was immediately smitten. She wasn’t so sure. But he won her over, and the couple sealed their budding romance with a kiss at the Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop in Hyde Park.

So goes the story of how Michelle and Barack Obama fell in love in 1989. And on Wednesday, a historical marker went up at the corner of Dorchester Avenue and 53rd Street noting the exact location where the couple had their first smooch.

A quote from President Obama, taken from an interview published in “O, The Oprah Magazine” in February 2007, is inscribed beneath an embedded photo of the couple.

“On our first date, I treated her to the finest ice cream Baskin-Robbins had to offer, our dinner table doubling as the curb. I kissed her, and it tasted like chocolate.”

As landscapers added the finishing touches, placing orange impatiens around the boulder placed in a flower bed near the entrance of the Dorchester Commons shopping center, curious residents trickled by to snap pictures.

The 3,000-pound granite boulder, commissioned by the owners of Dorchester Commons, was 2 1/2 years in the making, according to Jonelle Kearney, a spokeswoman for Mid-America Asset Management, which manages the shopping center. She said the idea came about after several queries from visitors.

“It’s a marker for the community, for posterity and tourism, too,” she said.

A new report shows that nearly 40% of Chicago public school teachers put their own kids in private schools.

Well, at least public schools taught somebody something.

Obamaland: 30 People Shot, Five Killed In Dem-Run Chicago Over Weekend
Image
The direct result of decades of one party Dem-rule.

Quote:
At least five people, including two teens, were fatally shot — and 25 others were wounded by gun violence — between Friday evening and early Sunday in Chicago.

According to the Chicago Tribune, 17-year-old Richard Modell was the youngest fatal shooting victim.

Modell and an 18-year-old friend were walking in the 6300 block of South Rhodes Avenue in the city’s West Woodlawn neighborhood around 9:30 p.m. Saturday when someone walked up to the males and opened fire. Modell, who police say is a member of an area feuding gang, was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital shortly after he was shot in the chest.

Community activist Andrew Holmes was at the scene after the shooting and told NBC Chicago that one of the targeted teens was possibly a Leo High School football player.

Another teen, an unidentified 18-year-old male, was fatally shot around 4:30 a.m. in the 5300 block of South Calumet, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Rahm Emanuel: Chicago aka “Murder Capitol Of The United States” Is The “Most American Of American Cities”
Image
Let’s hope not.

Quote:
Chicago, a city plagued by gangs, murder and a failing public education system, “is the most American of American cities,” says Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

Speaking to political science students at Northwestern University last week, Emanuel noted that they were reading about Chicago:

“You’re studying, in my view, what I believe — Chicago is the most American of American cities. It’s not just any city. If you want to come and see America, you come to its heartland. And what is the capital of that heartland? Chicago.”

Chicago Teachers Union VP Caught At Marxist Revolutionary Conference
Image
Shocker!

Quote:
While a guest on a local Chicago radio show, Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) VP Jesse Sharkey was questioned over his recent participation in the Midwest Marxism Conference and refused to answer why he was there and what relationship the Chicago Teachers Union has with the conference and sponsoring organization, the International Socialists Organization. Sharkey, who was documented by Breitbart News attending the Marxist conference at Northwestern University last month, appeared caught off-guard and struggled to respond to the question.

WLS radio’s Bruce Wolf and Dan Proft had Sharkey on their show to discuss the ongoing school closing battle between the CTU and the Chicago Public Schools. Sharkey had been discussing the Chicago Teachers Union’s network of coalitions that supported the recent teachers strike, when Proft asked him to address the union’s relationship with “revolutionary movements.”

SEIU Launches Half Million Dollar Campaign Targeting “Neo-Liberal” Rahm Emanuel
Image
I love when the left eats their own!

Quote:
Chicago Mayor and former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is under attack by some of President Obama’s top political supporters.

The SEIU has committed half-a-million dollars to a new, anti-Rahm effort. The money was approved by a state council as part of a document titled “Taking on the millionaires’ mayor.” The document says SEIU will brand the Mayor as “the national poster child for Neo-Liberals who are hell-bent on adopting regressive policies.”

The SEIU also alleges the Mayor is adopting the tactics of “Right Wing” employers:

Mayor Emanuel is using the city’s procurement process to take advantage of a loophole in Obamacare to jettison the health care costs of many city contract work [sic]. Essentially, Rahm is doing the same thing to city contract workers that Applebee’s, Denny’s, Papa John’s Pizza and so many other Right Wing national employers have announced they are doing to their workers in the lead up to the implementation of Obamacare.

Chicago Alderman Wants GPS Tracking Devices On All Guns
Image
What the ….?

Quote:
CHICAGO (CBS) — A South Side alderman is asking for City Council hearings on an unorthodox gun control measure that would allow for GPS tracking of firearms.

WBBM Newsradio Political Editor Craig Dellimore reports Ald. Willie Cochran (20th), a former police officer, has suggested that global positioning system chips be embedded in new guns, and retrofitted on existing firearms, so they could be located if they go missing.

“Just like if your car gets stolen, OnStar can tell you where your car is. If your gun gets stolen, and you report it, we should be able to find that gun,” he said.

Cochran has introduced a resolution asking the Committee on Public Safety to hold hearings to receive testimony on the matter. A Massachusetts state senator from Boston has been pushing a similar measure in that state.

Cochran acknowledged it might be expensive to install GPS chips on current and future firearms, but not as expensive as the cost of gun violence to society.

“Let’s measure what it costs in hospital costs, lost wages, deaths,” he said.

Illinois Credit Rating Is Downgraded, Now Worst In The Nation
Image
But..but..they had Obama and they have gun control? How could this be? Foreshadowing of things to come?
Quote:
llinois’ credit rating has taken another hit. Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service downgraded the state from an “A” rating to “A-minus”, making it the worst in the country.
The New York ratings firm’s ranking means taxpayers may have to pay tens of millions of dollars more in interest when the state borrows money for roads and other projects.
The downgrade is the latest fallout over the $96.8 billion debt to five state pension systems.
The downgrade now ties Illinois with California, but California has a positive outlook.
Illinois’ fragile overall financial status netted it a negative outlook, putting it behind California overall.
The ratings came out now because Illinois plans to issue $500 million in bonds within days.

Gun-Outlawed Chicago Sees 40 Murders In One Month
Image
But don’t worry, gun control will totally work on a national level.

Quote:
CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) - A bloody weekend in which eight people were killed and six wounded has put an abrupt end — at least for now — to hopes that Chicago was at least putting a lid on his frightening homicide rate.

With a few days left in the month, the nation’s third-largest city now finds itself on the cusp of its deadliest January in more than a decade. The news comes just after Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy had announced that after several violent months, Chicago had seen a drop in homicides at the end of 2012 and for the first few weeks of 2013.

Police say the homicide rate is a reflection of the city’s gang problem and a proliferation of guns. Chicago has for years tried to cut off the flow of guns. It has what city officials have called the strictest handgun ordinance in the U.S. But police officials say more needs to be done and that penalties for violating gun laws should be stiffer.

With the weekend shootings, Chicago now has 40 homicides — the exact same number as last January. With a few days left in the year, the city could reach its deadliest January since 2002, when it had 45 homicides in the first month.

Chicago Murder Rate Far Worse Now Than During Pre-Gun Control Al Capone Days
Image
Fun fact: There were no restrictions on fully automatic weapons in Capone’s days.

Quote:
(CHICAGO) (WLS) – In this I-Team report, Chicago’s rising murder rate in a new context, how the numbers of shooting deaths compare to the city’s most notorious crime era, the one that has tarnished Chicago’s reputation around the world for a century.

The surprising stats show the city is worse off now in the category of murder than at the height of the era that has driven Chicago’s reputation for almost a century, Capone’s “gangland” Chicago.

Let’s compare two months: January 1929, leading up to the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, and last month, January 2013. Forty-two people were killed in Chicago last month, the most in January since 2002, and far worse than the city’s most notorious crime era at the end of the Roaring Twenties.

In January 1929 there were 26 killings. Forty-two people were killed in Chicago last month, the most in January since 2002, and far worse than the city’s most notorious crime era at the end of the Roaring Twenties.

Even though the image of Chicago, perpetuated by Hollywood over the years, was that mobsters routinely mowed down people on the streets, the crime stats tell a different story. The figures from January 2013 are significantly higher than the January of Al Capone’s most famous year.

There was no real gun control back in Capone’s day. The first national firearms act wasn’t signed until 1934. It required approval of the local police chief, federally registered fingerprints, federal background check and a $200 tax.

Should the U.S. pull out of Chicago?
Image
Body count: In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago compared to 221 killed in Iraq , and Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.
Politicians in and from Chicago:

President: Barack Hussein Obama
Senator: Dick Durbin
House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr.
Governor: Pat Quinn
House leader: Mike Madigan
Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)
Mayor: Rahm Emanuel
The political leadership in Illinois - all Democrats.
Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago. Of course, they’re all blaming each other.
Can’t blame Republicans; there aren’t any!
Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.

Can’t blame Republicans; there aren’t any!
State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country.

Can’t blame Republicans; there aren’t any!
Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country.

Can’t blame Republicans; there aren’t any!
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois.

And he is going to “fix” Washington politics for us???
George Ryan is no longer governor; he is in the big house.
Of course he was replaced by Rob Blagojevich who is…that’s right, also in the big house.
And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of weeks ago. That’s because he’s fighting being sent to….right again, the big house!

The Land of Lincoln, where former Illinois governors make our license plates (while serving time in prison)!!!!

And for the past five years, Democrats controlled the White House and at least one of the halls of Congress. From 2006 to 2008, Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate. From 2008 to 2010, Democrats controlled the White House and both halls of Congress (the Senate and the House) which means Democrats had the power to do whatever they wanted for blacks, for illegal immigrants and for the poor.
So will someone tell me who is the blame.
