#3 More huffing and puffing. That should solve the problem.

#4 Help, help, our citizens are shooting each other!

Aw, nothing a little money won't fix. No, it won't stop the shootings, but we can create programs, ~~pay off~~ hire some people, and make great speeches about how we are Doing Something(tm). Hey, what do you think about a People's March to "raise awareness"?

#5 ABC 7 points out that community leaders are urging Gov. Pritzker to declare a "State of Emergency," which will allow the city to "receive more funding" as the violence rages.

You could burn the place down, been done before. Then ask for more funding.

#6 Because the boodle, once spread around will allow the boodlers to split and leave it as other people's problems.

#7 How bout, Wakandan Crime?

Underclass. Latino narco gangs are just as involved.

#8 I'm gonna stick my neck out and assert that the reason for all the violence is drug gangs fight over turf. Nobody seems willing to confirm or deny this assertion. So it would seem the way to deal with the violence is to interdict the drugs that are imported into this country from Mexico and China. The fact that this state of affairs is tolerated, the fact that our border remains insecure, says a lot about corruption at the highest levels in our government. Securing the border would be much more effective in curbing Chicago's violence and much less threatening to law abiding citizens than declaring war on guns. But, hey, since when do Democrats care about actually solving problems?

#10 Legalizing the drugs is not an option because that would lower prices and therefore lower profits. Can't have that.

#12 How about more funding for police?
Of course, part of the problem that a lot of the aldermen are in bed with the gang leaders.

#13 Abu, It's perfectly possible legalize drugs and not have the price go down. Look at California. Street pot there is still around, and cheaper than the legal stuff. I'm told better quality, too.

#14 you are correct ed. I get Cali weed here in Georgia with not much mark up.
