Cook County's "Gun Violence Coordinator"

Outside of the obvious jokes over the title of the job, Cook County (aka mostly Chicago) is getting more gov't employees at the taxpayer expense.

(CBS) — The Cook County Board has approved appointing a gun violence coordinator who will be expected to “live, eat, breathe and sleep gun violence,” reports WBBM’s Mike Krauser....

“All they do is live, eat, breathe and sleep gun violence and make sure that they come up ideas,” Boykin said.

Sheriff Tom Dart will appoint the gun violence coordinator.

So here's what's going to happen.  It's going to be a political appointment, not anyone w/ any actual experience, most likely associated w/ an IL based gun control group.  The only 'Coordinating' they're going to do is to coordinate the lobbying activities of said gun control groups in the state to push for more anti-gun laws.

Nothing will be done about the rampant gangs, drugs, or social collapse that are the primary precursors of the violence.  And the cycle will continue. 

Charleston, IL Becoming 'Little Chicago' UPDATE

I posted some issues a few weeks ago involving multiple, strong-arm robberies and violent assaults.  Just over the last week there was a 'mob action' in the local Wally-world and another shooting.


From the local paper:

The fight apparently started because of a "past disagreement with people in their high school" and was not a random incident, Oyer said.
He said the people involved are not current or former Charleston High School students but he declined to provide any additional information.

Update: The full video


 And just last night:

Eastern Illinois University issued an "off-campus crime advisory" by email to its students and staff that said a pedestrian might have fired a gun at a vehicle

 Over in the next town, the state DOC is using a homeless shelter as a dumping ground for transients.  The results are what you would expect.

MATTOON -- A reported resident of the Mattoon Area PADS homeless shelter has been arrested for allegedly sexually abusing a 16-year-old girl who had been providing volunteer services in connection with PADS.

 At a recent community meeting regarding moving the shelter, opponents of the move were physically and verbally threatened by several of the residents.

I've scheduled a CCW class for myself and the C-in-C. 

Why Are Anti-Gun Activists So Violent?

Not directly an 'anti-gun' activist but peripherally supported it.

Prosecutor who was involved in a case to criminally charge an 8th grader for 'obstruction' for refusing to take off an NRA shirt pulls out a gun in his work office threatening to shoot Halloween spider decorations.

Yeah.  Does anyone else hear the guy from Southpark "I am above ze law". Since he was  an APA, he has all sorts of special powers that the everyday subject does when it comes to carrying.

Chicago Crime Rates

I had video of the event and a good description of the thief. I filled out the online form with no issues, but a week later it came back as not being a valid online submission because the theft took place outside of the residence. Porches don’t count. I had to resubmit through whatever number they gave, which of course I did not.

Any questions?

The Stupid Never Stops..

So we've got the CSGV joining the Brady Bunch calling gun owners terrorists, the NGVAC throwing out their usual nonsense, and now Obama's mouthpiece calling for firearm homicides to increase nationwide.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest conceded Monday that Chicago is a city with a high rate of gun crimes and murder despite having very strict gun control laws. But he said that’s even more of an argument for stricter national laws.

Yeah, exactly. 

Is this the message he's going to give to the anti-gun IACP? Wouldn't surprise me.

Why Are Anti-Gun Activists So Violent? (Language Alert)

So John Boch, head of GSL in Illinois stops at a gas station.  A passerby notices the GSL bumpersticker and it causes him to lose his mind.

“You’re those fucking people that put guns in the hands of killers.  Guns don’t save lives, gun kill people, you stupid fuck.”

“No, fuck you.  Are you going to fucking shoot me?  Here’s a better idea, you sick fuck:  Why don’t you shoot yourself!”

 “You guys are fucking nuts.  You run around with your guns, ready to fucking snap and start killing people.” 

 “Oh, you gonna call the cops?  Why don’t you go fuck yourself.  Fuck you and fuck the police,” he screams.

Think about this.  He actively confronts and threatens an individual he assumes is armed and is 'ready to snap and start killing people'. 

THIS is why he is anti-gun, because this is how they react to their anger and they assume that's how everyone is.

This is also why we carry.
