City and police officials have been scrambling to deal with a public-relations nightmare for much of 2012 because of the soaring homicide rate, up about 31 percent through Aug. 19 compared with a year earlier, according to the most recent police statistics available. The department hoped things had turned around when homicides dipped in July, the first month that happened this year, but the violence has increased again this month.

The new plan, modeled after the crackdowns since mid-January in the Harrison and Englewood districts, calls for gang, narcotics and patrol officers to saturate so-called conflict zones, according to police Superintendent Garry McCarthy. U.S. marshals and agents from the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will help target gangs, drugs and guns. While the federal assistance lasts only four months, McCarthy said the plan wasn't "a short-term solution."

Too little, too late, rahmbo. Chicago has been taken by the gangs.

Hey, I know. Maybe the feds can do an investigation to get to the kingpins of the gangs. Something along the lines of a sting where the feds sell weapons to low level street hoodlums and follow them to see where they end up.

Oh wait....

Having lived through almost 4 years of the Obama administration...color me cynical. What is said is often what is not done. Lots of talk targeting gangs and criminals...I'm just wondering if this is just a prelude to gun confiscation from law abiding citizens.

It could be that skipping the state and going directly to the feds, he can get the DoJ to not enforce? Hmmmmm, he doesn't want to anger his base, does he?

Chicago's already tried that.

The end result being the rich neighborhoods like where Obumbles will be retiring to come January will remain relatively safe, but the normal and slum neighborhoods of Chicago will still be shitholes.

IOW, as stated earlier, no change.

And please, while you're not shooting the children, kill as many fetuses as possible.

Flamethrowers and napalm is the only sure cure for what ails Chicago.

Moochelle and Obama's white half won't be staying long in Chicago after he retires. He's now to good for them, you know.

The shooting scene is about a block east of the heavily guarded street where the Obamas have a home in the Kenwood neighborhood.

Take off and nuke it from orbit.  It's the only way to be sure.

Hi,

Perhaps they should take a cue from Washington, DC.  When the Heller amendment came down and DC residents were allowed to arm and protect themselves, in the next calendar year the murder rate hit a 45 year low.  They wont do that in Chicago because they know it will work and they might piss of some of their big time anti-2nd amendment donors.  Better people shoud die so the campaign contributions keep rolling in.

regards,

This close to an election I also doubt anything would get done. They won't move fast enough if they wanted to anyway. Also if they would vote out Rahmbo and the police chief and all of the city council for people that are Pro gun things would go a lot better in the windy city.
