Thinks ^^^ liberals created lax gun laws, liberals segregated the suburbs, liberals sent jobs overseas, liberals created the illegal drug market. All anger, no brains. Thanks conservatives. |

The social forces I cited are not local in nature. No major city could, by itself, enact the gun laws, red lining, federal drug or tax laws which have shaped American demographics since WWII. These are national movements driven by federal laws or the lack thereof. Cities are relatively powerless before their state legislatures. Red lining and the ghettoization of the inner city are policies of the banking industry, not urban citizens. I suppose you haven't grasped the role of cities like Chicago within their states. I hasn't been much featured on TV etc. but the reality of urban life since WWII is that the once-powerful cities have been neutered by state legislatures as rich whites moved to the suburbs. leaving the gutted economies of the cities to the black immigrants whose labor was no longer needed. You look silly condescending to me with "c'mon, GA!". You haven't studied modern US sociology or economics as I have. Go back to school and STFU. |

Seeing as how Chicago is a city of over 2.7 million people with a police department of less then 12,000 how would Drudge suggest this crime issue be addressed? |

Don't blame anyone else when a thug pulls the trigger....It is more a personal problem, than a social problem....There is a tendency in both liberals and conservatives to blame society for a thug being evil....Punish the evil, they ain't going to change, but we will feel better.............. :oyvey |

Perhaps Chicago should target where most of the killings are taking place. I hope they are smarter than the TSA though. |

Ah, so the situation in Chicago is due to the city leaders being made impotent by policies enacted by the Illinois state legislature, is that your point?

Try harder! |

And if the problem is city wide? It's not like the crime is relegated to a few blocks that could be easily controlled? |

1.Eliminate government initiated financial incentives to have fatherless households and multiple children. 2.Eliminate government incentives to not work. 3.Eliminate government regulations, taxes and other job killers so that those who are not on welfare have work to go to. 4.School choice. Peers are major role models for kids. 5.Get teachers involved in instilling work ethic and good behavior. 6.Get rid of drugs. Everyone knows that it can be done. Lots of politicians and people high on the law enforcement food chain get lots out of that mountain of drug cash to allow the continued flow of drugs. 7.War on drugs. No, I mean war on drugs. Those cities and jungles south of the border are good training grounds while conducting war, if nothing else. 8.Consistent sentencing and serving of sentences for crimes. No revolving doors. Ta da. |

So if the size of the police force per capita is not relevant...why did you include it in your original post? You appear to be arguing just for arguments sake...being contrarian just to be contrarian. Edited by Right-Wing, Dec 28 2016, 04:19 PM.

Fifty seven million people died over this last year, worldwide, from lots of things and at the hands of someone that has a belief system of some kind. 57,000,000 Forty eight were shot in Chicago? Sounds like they need more guns in Chicago. Isn't that the cure? Edited by CautionaryTales, Dec 28 2016, 04:23 PM.
