Commissioner Suggests U.N. Send Troops To Fight 'Quiet Genocide' Of Gun Violence In Chicago
CBS News ^ | December 14, 2017

Posted on 12/15/2017 10:24:32 AM PST by Zakeet

Some politicians in the past have recommended deploying the National Guard to help Chicago quell gun violence, but Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin went even further on Thursday, suggesting the United Nations perhaps send in peacekeepers in the face of what he called a "quiet genocide."

Boykin was traveling to New York to meet with Oscar Fernandez-Taranco of Argentina, the U.N. Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Support, to seek international help with "horrific levels of shootings" and other violent crime in West Side and South Side communities.

"I'm hoping to appeal to the U.N. to actually come to Chicago and meet with victims of violence, and maybe even possibly help out in terms of peacekeeping efforts, because I think it’s so critical for us to make sure that these neighborhoods are safe," Boykin said at O'Hare International Airport on Thursday.

Boykin said Chicago must "utilize every avenue" available to protect its people from gun violence, possibly including U.N. peacekeepers.

"They've been able to help in places like Africa and abroad, where they’ve sent troops in and sent forces in to help protect minority and vulnerable populations, and so quite frankly I think the same can be said for here in Chicago," Boykin said. "I'm talking about physical security. I’m also talking about maybe suggestions for what we can do in Chicago to help protect our minority populations. We’re being, again, decimated by the violence that we see here in Chicago. I mean this is really a genocide, and we have to do something to stop it."

Sometimes, when I see stories about this Democrat run paradise ... I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

What would these people who are being killed be doing if they weren’t being killed?

Probably killing the other people who in turn would’ve killed others themselves.

This suggestion is treason.

The commissioner needs a neck tie.

This man is brilliant.

Yeah. That’s it. Invite UN Peace Keepers in. The European members of the contingent will run away screaming upon hearing the first shot and the third world members of the contingent will join in the raping, looting and killing.

CORRECTION

"They've been able to help in places like Africa and abroad, where they’ve sent troops in and sent forces in to rape minority and vulnerable populations"

So...good people with guns might solve the problem?
There’s still a lot of good people there...how about letting them have guns? rather than outsourcing “good people with guns”?

“..... recommended deploying the National Guard to help Chicago quell gun violence”

I totally disagree, .... let them shoot it out!

Don’t waste anymore taxpayer money, - they already have the
Gun Control that they wanted.

Every man and women to their own tent.

It is. The only troops that can go in there are US. If they go I suggest they arrest and shoot the commissioner first.

Genocide was a good useful word once upon a time. It had a specific meaning and when one used it hearers knew exactly whereof he spoke. Now it can mean anything from killing all of a recognized group to making people of a hazily defined racial or economic class feel deprived or even just uncomfortable.

Still positioning to get SOMEONE From SOMEWHERE to “counter” POTUS. Creepy they want foreign troops here. Why not the National Guard? Noooo..... They have to imply the US is simply not functioning with POTUS. The left is really looking for their own troops. Creepy.
