Shoot ’em Up Bang Bang In Chicago Part I

by | Jun 8, 2014 | Blog, Culture | 0 comments

Every week end we get a murder report from Chicago, this week they killed forty-two more African Americans. One of the craziest ideas I heard was from Roland Martin Show. He recommended that Marshall Law be declared, and the government send in the troops. Chicago would then become a city under quasi-Marshal Law.

The other guest jumped on the band wagon and began to recommend how this crazy a**** plan could be implemented. They recommended with gusto, “let’s call in the police and have military checkpoints.” it became more detailed as they warmed their middle-class a***** thinking to the issue of what to do with their cousins.

When people wanted to enter the city, they would be checked for weapons at various entry points. Also they would also be checked for past police warrants. Oh yeah, let’s continue to militarize our inner cities.

What is so crazy about this s*** is that if it was happening in any other country, someone would call for the U.N. to intervene and discuss solutions with their members. They would send in massive amounts of money for various programs and more weapons of course, this is a European dominated group. Which we will discuss later.

Since this is a homegrown problem involving poor people, when anyone recommends additional funding for community rebuilding, the conservative go ape s***. Their typical response is, “you are throwing money at the problem.” On the issue of community violence, money is the problem.

Addtionally, the trillion dollar munitions industry is the problem, the trillion dollar drug industry is the problem. The diminishing of African American lives is the problem. The government is immersed in the profits from all three of these lucrative enterprises. They would not allow those industries to be controlled by anybody other that the big boys.

You may ask “if the oligarchs are controlling the guns and drugs in our cities, how long will it last.” The inner cities have been ravaged since the governmental policy of benign neglect. The benign neglect policy started over thirty years ago.

The people with money changed their residence and moved from the inner cities, that left only people that could not afford to move. Redlining was integral to this process. Benign neglect is just what is says, allow the inner cities to fold in on themselves through lack of basic local, federal and state government funding and services, do not return any of the tax payers money back to them.
