"Chicago Is A War Zone"

I don't know how many were shot this most recent weekend in Chicago, but over the 4^th of July weekend, 84 people were shot, and 11 died. Rahm Emanuel, the mayor, has asked for the assistance of the National Guard, to help keep the peace. That's just one step below declaring full martial law in Chicago. I've been in Chicago on business, and at the time had no idea how dangerous it was just to be there. Many people are actually calling Chicago as much of a war zone as Iraq or Afghanistan. That's saying a lot. And the Dumocrat leadership (Obama's former left-hand man) has no idea how to stop it, save to make more of the kind of laws that have FAILED to stop it, so far. They aren't smart enough. (The News Nerd)
