August 4, 2018 Chicago's Blacks Turn against Rahmbo By Daniel John Sobieski When President Trump announced that the unconstitutional DACA program, put in place by President Obama after Congress refused to pass it into law, would be allowed to expire unless Congress took action on border security, former White House chief of staff and current Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel (aka “Rahmbo”) announced that Chicago would become a “Trump-free zone,” a sanctuary city welcoming and protecting any and all illegal aliens. "To all the Dreamers that are here in this room and the city of Chicago: you are welcome in the city of Chicago. This is your home and you have nothing to worry about." He added: “Chicago, our schools, our neighborhoods, our city, as it relates to what President Trump said, will be a Trump-free zone. You have nothing to worry about. And I want you to know this, and I want your families to know this. And rest assured, I want you to come to school… and pursue your dreams.” The problem is that he forgot the beleaguered African-Americans in his city burdened by debt and high taxes as its citizens fight poverty, joblessness, and high crime rates. They have dreams too, such as getting to school alive or being able to do their homework with a bullet piercing their bedroom window. On Thursday, this key and long-taken-for-granted part of the Democrat constituency,took to Chicago’s streets, and one expressway, to ask where they must flee to find the sanctuary Rahm Emanuel promises for illegal aliens: An anti-violence march in Chicago briefly closed Lake Shore Drive on Thursday afternoon, as protesters demonstrated against the city's spiraling crime crisis and called for Mayor Rahm Emanuel to step down. A spokesman for Chicago police said Lake Shore Drive was closed for about 35 minutes on Thursday afternoon, as demonstrators marched toward Wrigley Field, where the Cubs were scheduled to play later in the evening… The demonstrators waved signs demanding Emanuel's resignation and chanted "one city, one Chicago" and "Rahm has to go," as fans watched from inside the park… Ahead of the march, protesters made clear they didn't want the Democratic mayor's support or blessing -- they were urging him to resign over what they called his inability to get gun crime under control. Demonstrators said they took that route because if they had protested in their neighborhoods the city’s cultural and political elites and the national liberal media would have paid little heed to what was really a protest of Rahm Emanuel’s indifference to his citizen constituents as he embraces illegal aliens. Certainly the media would have ignored the calls for Trump’s help and demands for Emanuel to resign: "Rahm Emanuel is a con man. His whole job is to keep black folks divided," one man told Fox News' Gianno Caldwell, who covered the march. More than 1,600 people have been shot in Chicago this year, including three children who were recently wounded while playing basketball. Residents said after the shooting that the situation is so bad, children are being kept indoors for their safety. One woman said Thursday that Emanuel "doesn't care about anybody" except his own neighborhood and his own family, while another woman said Emanuel seems to care more about illegal immigrantsin the city. “African-Americans, we're citizens, and our ancestors built this country," she told Caldwell, whose younger brother survived a shooting last year that killed his best friend. State Rep. La Shawn Ford, a Democrat who represents the West Side of Chicago, called on President Trump to help the city. "Not everyone believes Chicago is a Trump-free zone. If he's serious about helping the people... I accept his help. We can't turn any help away," said Ford, adding that seniors and children need to have safe streets and federal authorities need to help the local police. As noted, Caldwell has personal knowledge of Chicago’s murder and crime spree from which its citizens can find no sanctuary. As he wrote at the end of July onFox News Opinion: During Memorial Day weekend last year, my younger brother and two of his friends were sitting in a car on the south side of Chicago when two men walked up to the window and fired 25 times. With his bloodied best friend dead in his arms, it was only through God's grace and mercy that my younger brother made it out alive… Right now, Chicago is going through another bloody summer of gun violence. In fact, at the beginning of this month more than 23 people were shot in one weekend -- including three who were killed. The wounded included girls ages 5, 14 and 15. The next weekend things were even worse, as the local CBS affiliate headlined on its website: “4 Killed, 24 Wounded in Weekend Shootings Across Chicago.” And just last Monday, reporting on the shootings of the weekend, the local ABC affiliate headlined: “Chicago weekend violence: 7 killed, 38 shot.” Much of Chicago’s violence stems from gang bangers, particularly those imported from south of the border, and from the steady supply of illegal drugs that are a consequence of the open borders and sanctuary city policies Rahm Emanuel supports. It is called “gun violence” when it is in fact gang violence fueled by drug trafficking. As Katie Pavlich writes at TownHall: As the violence in Chicago's gang plagued neighborhoods rages on, the underlying cause of the Windy City's murder rampages can be found thousands of miles away along a porous border. According to a report from Breitbart's Jeremy Segal, Mexican drug cartels are "allowed" to run Chicago's streets and young African-American men are killing each other as a result. Harold “Noonie” Ward, a former high-ranking member of the Gangster Disciples, one of America’s largest street gangs, claims the deadly violence that is plaguing Rahm Emanuel’s “world class city” of Chicago is because Mexican drug cartels are being allowed by “the powers that be” to operate freely and “run” Chicago’s streets. In an interview with Breitbart News outside of his childhood home, a now-condemned apartment in Altgeld Gardens, one of Chicago’s most well known housing projects, Ward explained that there are a number of issues leading to the bloodshed in the city. The greatest reason, Ward says, is drugs and how they are being brought into the city. “Where the drugs are coming from is Mexican cartels,” Ward said. “From Mexico to Chicago, they make $3.5 billion dollars a year. And the majority of violence in Chicago, comes from the Mexican cartels.” Rahm Emanuel faces another tough reelection bid in 2019. He and other mayors not only believe we should have open borders but that those who cross them to enter sanctuary cities such as his should be allowed to vote. Coincidence? I think not. He and his ilk are willing to trade American lives for votes. If you can’t find enough voters, you import them in the form of undocumented Democrats. Meanwhile, blacks in Chicago are getting wise. It may be time for regime change in Chicago. As President Trump said in the campaign as he actively called for black votes, what do you have to lose?

Just leftists eating their own. Couple weeks ago protesters shut down the Dan Ryan expressway with the same message. Da Maya has invited criminal aliens into the city offering safe harbor. Consequently the Latino gang problem gets worse as new soldiers are recruited from this illegal crowd. Meanwhile black gangbangers keep gunning down each other like there's no tomorrow. A few kids get caught in the crossfire with ever increasing frequency. Violent crime is spreading city wide with no end in sight. Add in the BLM thug lovers raising hell every time one of their thug brothers gets his dumbass shot by a cop and you have a total breakdown of the legal system. The left has a solution though. Ban guns, as if all these criminals will suddenly become law abiding citizens. Can't fix stupid.
Surprise, surprise. Evidently the people doing the killing were not impressed with the "anti violence" protest march. 31 shot, 2 dead, and the weekend isn't over yet. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...hicago-shootings-violence-20180804-story.html
Update: 59 shot, 8 dead. Hospital on Trauma lockdown, overwhelmed with victims. http://abc7chicago.com/59-shot-eight-dead-in-chicago-since-friday/3886976/
FWIW... CNN reporting shootings are down 30% from 2017, and murders are down 25%. http://www.wsmv.com/story/38816419/44-people-were-shot-in-14-hours-on-sunday-in-chicago
Definitely going to file this under the heading of "More to Come." https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jul/14/obama-slammed-worst-president-ever-black-chicagoan/ And yes, this is the washingtontimes but it is undeniable that there are various anti-obama protests brewing - by blacks- particularly in regard to his attempt to dislocate blacks to build his frigging presidential library. It's manageable now but Obama needs to careful that the library that he thinks is going to be a mecca for blacks to come to and worship him might become a shrine and symbol of the failed Dem Plantation. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...brary-aldermen-protesters-20180117-story.html Not seeing the love there and the tingle going up the legs like the old days. Do they not understand that a midterm election is coming right up and they are required by Plantation edict to come down off the shelf and vote and then crawl back up on to the shelf again until whitey needs them again? And yes, we know that Obama is not running for anything so, so what? Don't kid yourself. The dems are spitting on the clinton legacy and want to keep her out of the picture, and Obama needs to be the big saviour even though it didnt work last time either. Any confirmation that the traditional dem party is useless to blacks is not pretty at voting time at midterms or in 2020- particularly if the nominee is a faux cherokee. More to come, much more.
Well, if so and if the numbers are not just skewing differently in the year, then that would be for the good. Nevertheless, Chicago is a special kind of madness when it comes to shootings and murders and it is not just a big city versus small city type of problem. New York City is large too, eh? Three times the population of Chicago. But New York has half the number of murders. Chicago is also in the midst of hiring many, many more officers which hopefully will have further impact. On the other hand, the lefties may decide to defund the police department along with ICE. The lefty commitment to law enforcement is not really there. I wonder what the dem's new rock star, Alexandra Ocommie-o Cortez's view on increased policing is. Go ahead- surprise me. I am pretty sure it starts with confiscation of all guns, and then moves on to assure us that the hispanic cartels and gangs moving into the city are just adding diversity that whitey does not like. Not sure that blacky is all that happy about them in their neighborhood either- but hey- blacks and their issues and problems are soooooooooooo yesterday. It's all about muslims and hispanics and transgenders now.
