About time somebody gave a damn about those poor souls in south Chicago. The last President didn't, the mayor doesn't, so now Trump says enough is enough. I am proud of him. Over 4000 shot and 746 murdered. How could Obama just not care? How can Rahm Emanuel just not care? Well, sounds like Trump cares.

Quote:President Donald Trump is offering to “send in the Feds” if Chicago can’t reduce its homicide figures.

Trump tweeted Tuesday night, “If Chicago doesn’t fix the horrible ‘carnage’ going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!”

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel criticized Trump on Monday for worrying about the size of the crowd at his inauguration. Emanuel, a longtime political ally of former President Barack Obama, also acknowledged his own frustration with Chicago’s crime rate.

Trump isn’t offering specifics about how the federal government could help. The White House website says, “Our country needs more law enforcement, more community engagement and more effective policing.”

This man is a SAVAGE.

I love it.

The cops have their hands tied. If they shoot and kill these people who murder people? They would be labeled racists and all that.

The Feds busted up the Chicago crime and gang rings decades ago, why couldn't it work today ? Get out of the way, real law is coming to take down the bad guys. Sanctuary Cities are going Bye Bye !

That was Obamanation ! He controlled that from a community organizer perspective. Bad Guys are not a race. .

I would stay out of it. It is a Rahm/democrat problem.

Maybe the Obamanator should go back to Chicago and help clean that city up and stay out of DC worrying about His fake legacy.

Oh man. Trump is going to make liberal heads explode if he makes Chicago safer.

I commend him on stating that he will send the feds. But at this point that's all it is is a statement. Send the Feds in now. Pres. Obama and the mayor had their chance. Don't tell me if they don't fix it you gonna send the Fed's. Just do it. Right now is just talk. The killing and shootings have been going on for to long. Why are you giving warnings?

Everything he says is just a statement until it's not. It's refreshing.

Yes it is. Because what happens when he doesn't do it? You guys are here praising him like he is the second coming of Christ! As a black man I need the killing to stop. I don't need statements. He has made a bold one. Don't just say it do it. Chicago needs help. So sent the feds now.

Hmm. I think you are a little over-sensitive. Perhaps home team beer goggles?

All I'm saying is it's refreshing to see things that are said will happen actually happen.

Trump often makes management decisions by floating trial balloons in public instead of the normal policy wonk think tank policy processing. He often says it as a something he is thinking about and let's the media and voters chew on it. When he says he's going to do it, the gear shifts. So far, everything he's doing are things he said he would do. And it's driving his opponents nuts.

Not sure how the feds are going to do anything unless its a gang problem.

Maybe Rahm Emmanuel can be the Pete Wilson of Illinois and singlehandedly change a state from one party to the other.

A little over-sensitive? Try a lot. 4000 shot 746 murdered. Thats nothing to chew about. He said it so I need for him to do it because Chicago is not going to stop the murders just because he a gave a warning.

Its a gang, drug, poverty, and gun problem.

I'd stay out of it.. it's a local/state issue not a federal issue.

Its a multi generational single parent and poverty problem that has morphed into a gang problem.

Trump = The new Elliott Ness

But really either go in and get control of the situation for the the poor innocent people that have to survive with this daily violence OR start drop shipping cases of Colt 45 Malt Liquor, and cheap High Point 9mm pistols and ammo on pallets Monday, Wed & Fri. Expedite this and get it over with and start over.

Yep. You are correct on that.
