Karachi Chicago Lawmaker: Call National Guard To Stop Violence
2013-07-12
[BREITBART] That's what State Rep. Monique Davis (D-IL) asked during a press conference in Springfield: "I am requesting with this press conference that Gov. Patrick Quinn order the Illinois National Guard [and] the Illinois State Police [to]come to Chicago and work with our mayor Ron [sic] Emanuel to provide safety for the children, especially," she said.
Work with Rahm? They'd be the first...
Other state lawmakers agreed that the violence in parts of Chicago is extreme and may spread to the rest of the city and the state but did not endorse her suggestion. During the Fourth of July weekend alone, 74 people were shot and 12 killed in Chicago.

Not a real 'hotbed', but it has its moments.

#5  "So Monique wants to call out the Nat Guard to arrest/shoot black people to protect the citizens of Chicago?"

More likely to protect her own sorry ass,* Steve, but she's a DemoncRat, so - yes. :-(

*Don't know what part of Chicago she lives in, or represents, but it's a safe bet she doesn't think that the clowns killing each other intend to vote for her.

#4  I have a better idea. Send those troops to the Mexican border so they can help to stem the flow of cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine into Chicago.

#3  and Monique will be the first to call them "jack-booted thugs" if they actually put down the violence

#2  Can do as long as no federal pennies are involved. Posse Comitatus only restricts federal personnel or any link to federal funding. Of course, Illinois is as broke as California. Going to be hard to find the funding.
