As usual Trump. "Tweets" again at 10:00 pm January 25, 2017 threatens to send into Chicago's gang neighborhoods the Feds. If the city can't stop the carnage of murders.

Again, so will he/should he/ can he? Guess the can is a yes?
Seems a given now? Or will the gang lords heed the warning?
Your input.

Mod cut.

I don't see these senseless criminals putting their differences aside over one of Trump's tweets, so I guess the Feds are coming to Chicago. Lets see what he can do. I'm sure he'll have the best solutions

Gangs are ONLY rampant in Chicago because the mayors stop at words and partake in useless marches. Send in the feds, raid gang houses, march them out at 2AM in handcuffs, impound their cars, impose heavy fines and absurd jail times. If you wanna scare the little gangster homies into not being in gangs, that's how you do it. Rahm is as useless at **** on a bull, and he's a blowhard and a pushover. He's too weak and needs someone with actual balls to do his job properly.

That might do it. It will be bad PR due to the images which will come out but what else is there? Our elected officials are obviously not equipped to stop it unfortunately. Then once that's done the Feds need to set up boarding schools for these kids.

If Trump can help some put through a mandatory 10 year (or something) sentence for illegal hand gun possession, that is a good place to start.

Here are some possible scenarios, some of which (like the National Guard) are not only unlikely, but probably wouldn't even be legal.

Quote:
Here's a look at the issue and some of the options that might be available:

National Guard: The most direct — and most extreme — intervention would be sending National Guard troops into Chicago to try and tamp the violence. Both the U.S. president and the Illinois governor have the authority to mobilize the Illinois National Guard. But a federal statute, known as the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, prohibits the deployment of federal troops in civil law enforcement. While a president could try to find legal loopholes to get around that prohibition, the legalities of any such deployment would pose major obstacles. A heavy-handed intervention could upset many conservatives who advocate for states' rights.

Trump has not broached the possibility of using troops, although the idea comes up from time to time in Illinois. When someone asked Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner about the possibility in August, he ruled it out. He said he had discussed the idea with police, community leaders and the National Guard and that "no thoughtful leader thinks that's a good idea or (that it would) would really provide a solution."

U.S. Attorney: Current U.S. Attorney Zachary Fardon came under pressure when selected to be the top federal law enforcement official in Chicago three years ago to put violent crime at the top of the city's agenda. But from the start of his tenure, he tempered expectations about what a U.S. attorney's office could do. He had said repeatedly that communities couldn't arrest their way out of the problem of violence and that a more holistic approach — one that also addresses socio-economic problems — is required.

Fardon said in a September speech that his office and federal agencies including the FBI, DEA and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives "have ramped up their resources to help tamp down this spike in violence." He also said federal agencies had launched new crime-fighting programs with city and state officials, though he didn't provide details. "Suffice it to say, all oars from those agencies, including the FBI, are in the water right now," Fardon said.

Gun Charges: Then-U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder promised in 2014 that the Department of Justice would do what it could to fight gun violence in Chicago. That was easier said than done. A records review by the Chicago Sun-Times found numbers of federal gun cases out of Chicago declined from 2012 to 2015. It started trending back up in 2015, with 84 defendants charged under U.S. gun statutes from mid-2015 and mid-2016. Responding to the Sun-Times, Fardon wrote in October that the drop-off in gun charges in 2014 to less than 60 had at least something to do with a federal hiring freeze, when his office went from 172 prosecutors to below 130. The numbers are getting back up to where they need to be, he said. He said half of his prosecutors are focused on the types of cases linked to street-level violence.

Gangs: Going back decades, a cornerstone of anti-violence measures by U.S. attorneys in Chicago has been to convict and imprison gang leaders. Federal prosecutors in Chicago have used racketeering and gun laws to go after gangs, who police blame for much of the deadly violence. One of the largest street-gang cases in recent Chicago history wrapped up this month, with jurors convicting the core leadership of the notorious Hobos street gang on trial for an alleged racketeering conspiracy that prosecutors say included at least nine killings. But many gang experts point to an unintended consequence of prosecuting gang leaders: Breaking up a gang's command structure can often lead to more inter-gang rivalry and, therefore, to even more violence.

If get caught with an illegal gun (ie you don't have a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card), you go to jail for one year, preferably at hard labor or in solitary confinement. That would deter a few people, I think.
