Their Kind Of Town, Chicago Is

How can the murder capital of the country be a ‘sanctuary city’?
Sanctuary cities are like the Land of Oz: a magical but terrifying world where reality has been stood on its head and the realm is ruled by weak leaders who hide behind grand words and imposing facades. Did I just describe Chicago and its delusional mayor, Rahm Emanuel? Get this vigorous quotation from the freedom-loving civic leader: “To all those who are, after Tuesday’s election, very nervous and filled with anxiety as we’ve spoken to, you are safe in Chicago, you are secure in Chicago and you are supported in Chicago. Chicago will always be a sanctuary city.”
Yes, about as safe as a hen in a fox house. Seriously, nobody is that safe and secure in Chicago because Chicago is the murder capital of North America and carries that distinction like a murderer caught in the act with a gun in hand. With an annual homicide rate above New York and Los Angeles, Chicago has become a little bit of hell on earth with competing gangs, drug wars, and the general ascendancy of the lowlifes. Contemporary life – and death – in Chicago has far outweighed all of the worst stereotypes of the Prohibition era when Al Capone ruled this town. Does Mayor Emanuel really think the illegal immigrants are “nervous and filled with anxiety?” What universe is this completely unfeeling, utterly detached municipal politician living in? It’s the legal citizens of Chicago who are more than just nervous and filled with anxiety; they are scared as hell of being caught in the crossfire of a gang gunfight.
