Chicago Calls For Martial Law?

[Paradoxium]

I put the question mark not to mislead anyone. It is a possibility. Or not. Who knows. Buncha articles.

Two state representatives called on Gov. Pat Quinn Sunday to deploy the Illinois National Guard to safeguard Chicago's streets.

Chicago Democrats John Fritchey and LaShawn Ford said they want Quinn, Mayor Richard Daley and Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis to allow guardsmen to patrol streets and help quell violence. Weis said he did not support the idea because the military and police operate under different rules.

"Is this a drastic call to action? Of course it is," Fritchey said. "Is it warranted when we are losing residents to gun violence at such an alarming rate? Without question. We are not talking about rolling tanks down the street or having armed guards on each corner."

What he envisions, Fritchey said, is a "heightened presence on the streets," particularly on the roughly 9 percent of city blocks where most of the city's violent crimes occur.

Haha Chicago is getting "Detroit'ed". It's going to fiscal and financial ruin anyways. People should move out if they have the chance.

Many have, they have had a huge urban to rural migration since the early 90's...

Hey look Majic Walrus don't support this. Craaaaazy.

This is going too far. Backing the police and other civil protection agencies is a far better choice than the National Guard.

I don't know much about Chicago's crime rate , but I'm sure it's not so bad that they have to call in the National Guard. Detroit is another story though.

Oh the crime rate is bad here in Chicago, and it gets even worse during the summer time when these teenage thugs hit the streets. Seems that the only place that's safe is the Downtown area.

Oh all they have to do is pass a law like Arizona allowing concealed weapons without permits, That would fix the crime problem.
