How do you solve Chicago's murder problem?

"More government at every level."

Something tells me that more government won't do the job there. Here we have crowds of kids beating other kids to death with two-by-fours for nothing more than being at the wrong bus stop that day, all started by a teenage gang shooting. Really nice.

How long has Chicago had a functioning government? You're saying that maybe now they need to step up? What have they been up to this whole time?

I guess it's debatable whether or not you could consider Chicago to have a "functioning" government, and I freely admit that I don't have a solution to recommend, but at some point people are going to have to realize that the G-man isn't going to just step in and make all the pain go away. The citizens need to do their part, which is not happening right now.

Awesome.
When I read something here on my back porch that cracks me up and makes me nod my head in agreement, you can bet that I've just read something especially genius. I'm normally rather stoic and boring.
