There has to be a first time in man's life, so here come some quote from 'HuffPo':
"As Chicago deals with a surge of murders that, thus far this year, has outpaced that of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, the Chicago Police Department has assigned at least 100 officers to secure the wedding of White House advisor Valerie Jarrett's daughter."
"The directive for police to cover the Jarrett wedding arrives at a time where Chicago is facing a surge in its homicide rate. The Daily pointed out in a Friday column that more Chicago residents -- 228 -- have been killed so far this year in the city than the number of U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan - 144 -- over the same period.
The war zone-like statistics are not new. As WBEZ reports, while some 2,000 U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan since 2001, more than 5,000 people have been killed by gun fire in Chicago during that time, based on Department of Defense and FBI data."
All of that in a city with perhaps the toughest laws against gun-ownership in the USA which goes to prove that dis-arming the 'good guys' just leaves the streets to the armed 'bad guys' with utterly predictable results.
And anyway, who in their right mind would listen to 'Big Chief' Warren?
Elizabeth Warren is one of our best senators, and I am one of those people (in their right mind) who is happy to listen to her. And thanks for helping to make my point.
