Last week<\/a>, Rahm Emanuel declared a commitment that Chicago, Illinois will remain a sanctuary city for illegal aliens. It’s laughable because as of yesterday, 3992 Chicagoans were victims of gun violence – there’s no sanctuary anywhere for the people who already call Chicago their home. Just this last weekend<\/a>, 68 were shot and eight were killed.<\/p>\n

So far this year, Chicago police report 4,000-plus shootings and over 700 homicides, the vast majority in poor, predominantly black neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

“The poverty that exists throughout the city of Chicago, throughout the county of Cook and the state of Illinois is deplorable,” said Cook co. Cmsr. Richard Boykin.<\/p>\n

“There’s an inextricable link between poverty and violence,” said State Sen. Kwame Raoul, (D) Chicago.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, if poverty is the reason for the gun violence, I’m guessing that all of the victims were rich? The government’s social nets make sure that everyone in government-subsidized housing has a big flat screen TV and a microwave, but there’s no money for food and clothing? Poverty doesn’t explain away gun violence. <\/p>\n

A large unarmed law-abiding population trapped under conditions in which they are unable to defend themselves does explain part of the problem. Also, a corrupt city government that supports a moronic culture of violence and lawlessness helps explain it, too.<\/p>\n
