42 people killed in one city in Chicago suburb. Jesse Jackson no talk about GANGS!
Only Semi automatic weapons on FOX now talking...
He is wanting help from a Gov that helped give the Drug Cartel guns in Mexico .
Jesse Jackson wants Homeland security to patrol the streets OMG they created this with all of the lets not profile criminals because they are black lets not punish gang members for gun crimes .....
When you help keep people in poverty there goes their hope. Gov handouts is hurting not helping when recipients are allowed to make it a lifestyle instead of a helping hand up
OBAMA IS THE PROBLEM
Jesse Jackson urges Obama to 'come home' and tackle Chicago's gun crisis
Jackson leads march in memory of Hadiya Pendleton and says Obama's presence is 'urgently needed' to address problem
"You cannot police poverty.
You cannot police broken dreams, you cannot police aspirations," said Jackson.
"This cannot be dealt with on just a citywide level.
We have drugs and guns coming in, and jobs going out.
In most of the areas where these shootings are taking place, the unemployment rate is between 45% and 55%."
In January alone, 43 people were shot dead in Chicago, Obama's hometown, making it the deadliest January in the city for more than a decade.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson is calling on President Barack Obama to return to Chicago and approve federal intervention to address the soaring number of deadly shootings.
He supports an assault weapons ban and a federal crackdown on gun and drug trafficking.
Just last week Jesse was in NY looking to use pension money for low income loans.
Guess he dropped that in favor of the bigger issue to get him more face time.
He should be going after Rahm, he is the mayor who should be dealing with this issue. I would love to see the southside and the Austin/Lawndale part of Chicago flourish again.

What about East Garfield Park, West Garfield Park, Humboldt Park, Englewood, West Englewood, Woodland and South Shore. Lets face it, the South Side has some nice neighborhoods, but there isn't a single neighborhood on the West side that is safe. West Garfield Park had 6 homicides in January. More than any other neighborhood in Chicago.

Everyone knows Rahm is NOT Qualified and either is obama but it sounds good to try to get the president to come and solve the problems the liberals including obama when he was a senator and how he voted against gang gun related penalties for what he says is primarily black youth well if they are the problem and you are just slapping their hands where is the deterrent to gun people down and commit other crimes?
