35 Hurt, 7 Killed in Chicago Shootings
Up to 200 police officers are
expected to be taken off the crime-ridden streets of Chicago to provide
security at the wedding of a senior White House adviser as President
Barack Obama flies in to attend.
President Barack Obama's visit to Chicago didn't stop another violent weekend.
At least seven people were killed and
35 were injured since Friday night. The youngest victim was a
16-year-old girl who died after she was shot three times in the chest
Saturday evening in the Englewood neighborhood.
Ten people were shot overnight
Friday, and in one hour Sunday morning, three people were killed. The
latest shooting happened just after midnight Monday when a 19-year-old
was shot to death on the city's North Side.
The shootings mark the third weekend in a row with gunfire injuries totaling well into the double digits. Last weekend, 46 people were hurt and eight killed across Chicago. The previous weekend, 29 were injured and three were killed in shootings.
"None of it is OK," Supt. Garry
McCarthy told NBC Chicago last week. "And I don't want it to seem like
we're managing it, but the realistic expectations have to be over the
long-term."
This weekend marked the beginning of
an overtime incentive program to put more police in neighborhoods where
crime is highest. Fewer than 60 officers signed up for the program,
though.
President Obama and his family arrived in Chicago Friday evening. They attended the wedding of senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett's daughter, and the president spent Father's Day golfing with friends.
Rahm... What you doing about it? Media, why aren't you reporting it?
BS. There is an agenda, and the brothers have been too damn quiet. Speak up, Oblunder! What say you about this? It has only gotten worse under your regime!
McCarthy is a puppet and Rahmbo is an a-hole commie.
Stay the hell out of Chicago! .......
How does the violent crime rates in those cities, compare with the percentage on Welfare?
Welfare tends to decrease the drive of self-motivation while increasing the "entitlement mentality" and the growth of the recipient class.
The entitlement mentality, tends to promote drug use, and drug use tends to promote unemployment and crime.
However, we know little about the progress made by the people of that land during the past 65 years.
HIROSHIMA - 65 YEARS LATER
Detroit: 65 years after Hiroshima's Bombing:
What has caused more long term destruction -
The A-bomb, Or Government welfare programs created to buy the Votes
of those who want someone to take care of them?
Japan does not have a welfare system.
Work for it or do without.
I received this email, and it seems to fit pretty well:
And I don’t think there has ever been a better explanation of the importance of incentive than this example an economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class
on socialism".. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive
the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A....
(substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyo...

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied 'hard' were upset and the students who
studied 'little' were happy. As the second test rolled around, the
students who studied little had studied 'even less' and the ones who
studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied 'little'.
The second test average was a 'D'. No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that "socialism" would also ultimately 'fail' because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
Could not be any simpler than that.
Remember, there IS a test coming up. " elections sometime soon – perhaps the sooner the better"
These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable
to this experiment:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the
wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must
work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government
does not first take from somebody else.Your chance to have YOUR say.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work
because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the
other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody
else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the
end of any nation.
You forgot to mention the police officer that was shot in both legs, too. This is what they want. Think about it. This is exactly what they want.
