#4 No police protection means no firefighters and means no ambulances.
Are they telling us that these snowflakes will "advance under fire"??

#5 Gonna have to get more popcorn.

According to a computer model from MIT, given the way the world is going, we totally run out of popcorn in 2030.

Are they telling us that these snowflakes will "advance under fire"??

Prediction: after the first couple of 'em get shot, the rest will either want an armed escort and we are back to where we started, or they will simply bail and the whole thing will fall apart.

Most people with half a brain will look at ideas like eliminating the police and think, "That's stupid!". But as a philosopher said, "It's a fine line between stupid and clever". Sure, this sounds stupid, but if we have never tried it, do we really know? Perhaps there is some incredible non-linearity that makes everyone nice once we eliminate the cops. I say we do the experiment and if it doesn't work (hint: it won't), we have evidence we can point to next time some dumbass brings it up.

#6 Oh, they won't get shot. They'll get stabbed; they'll get other people stabbed; they'll get taken hostage and raped; they'll get other people taken hostage.

The taxpayers of Chicago will be on the hook for atrocities that would have been prevented had someone present applied $10 worth of ammunition.

#12 ^The shooting happened outside the Target Area DevCorp, a nonprofit anti-violence group

What does it profit thee to be anti-violent?

#13 In Chicago, "non-profit anti-violence group" means "gang front used to channel tax payer dollars to the gang". They're invariably staffed by "ex-gangmembers" who still toe the line on associates and territory, and who often end up shot of shooting someone else

If you put the government in charge of Iowa, you'd run out of popcorn.

#17 Reminds of the corporation commission's short lived plan to have 'environmental volunteers' armed with the power to red tag oilwells go out and inspect for any violations...and the resultant hilarity. Oh, and reloading.

Like the tv show Live PD. Except Pay Per View.

#19 So instead of a TV show that follows cops we get a TV show that follows mental health professionals on 911 calls. Instead of Cops, we'd get Mental Health Professionals. I'd watch the first few episodes but, as has been noted, I don't think it would last very long after the first few of them get whacked.

People pay, what, $30 PPV for MMA Fight Night, bring in 1million views, three episodes and we are set. No overhead, combat pay camera man in latest body armor, and pay off the college debt of the Mental Health Professional.

Start a rivalry, get it really going. "Hey Green Bay...Chicago had two survivors...I don't think you can top that!"

I think this is even better than Hipppe-hug-a-polar-bear.

#25 The best part is we rid ourselves of hordes of useless 'Mental Health Professionals" who are often just a plague upon humanity.
