Moonbats On Parade

Gosh, if Chicago Mayor Richard Daley had been a Republican and done this, he’d be attached by nails to a great chunk of lumber already. Instead, he “snapped” and “lost his temper”. But proved the point of the journalist by doing so.

Irate with a reporter’s question on the effectiveness of the city’s handgun ban, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley offered to give a first-hand lesson following the shooting of an off-duty police officer.

“Oh, it’s been very effective,” Daley said, according to MyFoxChicago.com. “If I put this up your butt, you’ll find out how effective it is. If I put a round up your … you’ll know.”

Daley, whose comments came at a news conference on Thursday previously scheduled to discuss the city’s ban and a pending U.S. Supreme Court lawsuit challenging the law, became testy when a reporter questioned the ban’s effectiveness as the mayor held a rifle confiscated from city streets.

Jacquelyn Heard, Daley’s press secretary, later told the Chicago Sun-Times that Daley was somewhat exasperated because the individual asking the question—a reporter from the Chicago Reader—was “missing the point that unrestricted guns are a devastating issue” for the city.

“To illustrate the point, he offered what admittedly could be considered a less than ideal example, but it’s one that is a stark reminder of how destructive gun violence has been,” Heard told the paper.

Maybe we should have total gun control. For liberals. They can’t seem to handle the responsibility very well at all.

So Mayor Daley, just how effective is this ban of yours that keeps firearms out of the hands of the law abiding, while the criminals can get stolen firearms at will? How safe are your citizens who can’t defend themselves against a very large criminal element who uses wanton violence whenever the mood strikes them? When the crooks can out-gun the cops whenever they want to? Pretty piss poor if you want my opinion. Don’t you already have a total ban on handguns in Chicago? Doesn’t Chicago have some of the most draconian gun laws in the entire nation? But somehow the crooks are all armed to the teeth! You’d think they don’t obey the law or something! So tell us, how is adding yet another gun control law to the pile going to make things better? Oh, and in 2 weeks the Supreme Court is going to hand you your own ass on this one, so what’s the point here?

Thomas Wortham IV, a 30-year-old Chicago police officer who recently returned from a tour of duty in Iraq, was shot and killed Thursday when several people approached him outside his family’s home and tried to steal his new motorcycle, authorities said.

Wortham IV’s father—a retired Chicago police officer—came to his son’s aid and shot two of the attackers, killing one of them late Wednesday, police said. Retired police officers are allowed to keep guns.

“This is a tragedy,” said Chicago Alderman Freddrenna Lyle. “This young man survived two tours in Iraq, and came home and got murdered on the streets in front of his house that he grew up in. In front of his father, it’s just unbelievable.”

Ok, this may not have been the best circumstance for the reporter to ask those questions in. But the real problem is out of control gangs, heavily armed, who can commit the worst and boldest of crimes at any time. Which is par for the course for Chicago. Hell, it’s what makes Chicago Chicago. From the top on down. And you and your goon squad are making no inroads there at all. Because why? Are you paid off? That’s the Chicago Way too. We know.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
