Chicago Alderman backs proposal to try to minimize gun violence

A Chicago politician and a community group desperate to slow down Chicago's crime problem is now attempting to beg for 12 hours a day where people don't fire guns in the Windy City.

But shootings are down, so it is better!

There have been a number of car jackings within blocks of where my former office is in the West Loop downtown Chicago in the late morning. I don't remember ever hearing about one before this year in the 18 years I have worked there.

Lamest … proposal … ever.

Eventually they will just pay the gangs to not shoot at each other for a few hours and claim a major victory. It is the way of the machine.

C’mon man, they’re loosing their voting base!

“We have to start somewhere” hahahahaha!

Sounds more like a headline that came from the Onion .....or Babylon Bee ...........SMH .

.... I think that my bud, ditcherman, has figured it out !

Well, at least we finally know who runs the city...the gangs!

There is always something else brewing behind that headline. Here is an example from maybe 20 years ago. Midnight Basketball!! It was an official city sanctioned thing that was advertised as a way to give kids something to do besides commit crimes. As the title suggests it was a league with refs and gyms and parks opened and staffed at midnight and teams played each other. Never mind that it was past curfew and on school nights it was going to help stop crime. Then they needed to be fed, security, etc. What happened after playing these games? Of course they now started up their antics a few hours later than usual. Millions of dollars of taxpayer money went down the drain and into the hands of connected people.
I suspect something similar behind this absurd proposal.

When did the Babylon Bee change it's name to dailymail.com?

Daily Mail is the UK version...

I would propose the gangs fire MORE guns from 9pm to 9am to help take each other out quicker to curb gun violence.

You obviously don't understand how that all works. They generally hit everyone but each other.

Well, then give ‘em all a free p320 with an AIWB holster with 1 round each. Stop the reproduction.
