GANGLAND: President Trump Blames ‘BAD LEADERSHIP’ for Chicago GUN CHAOS

posted by Hannity Staff - 8.10.18

President Donald Trump slammed Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the city’s top law enforcement officials Friday, publicly blaming “bad leadership” for the escalating gun crisis sweeping the nation’s third largest metropolis.

The Commander-in-Chief was holding a round table discussion over the region’s violent weekend when he called-out decades of Democratic rule; adding nothing like this “should be happening” anywhere in America.

“In terms of our nation, nobody would believe it could be happening,” said the President after a violent weekend that left over 70 people injured. “It’s called bad leadership. Bad stuff happening. There’s no reason in a million years that something like that should be happening in Chicago.”

CHICAGO BURNING: City Officials Blame THE WEATHER for Sudden MURDER Spike

posted by Hannity Staff - 8.07.18

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the city’s top law enforcement officials urged the public to remain calm as the region’s crime crisis spiraled out of control this week; suggesting “hot temperatures” was the main reason behind the recent spike in murders.

“When it’s very hot outside, we have multiple areas with crowds. … An offender, or some type of rival gang sees a large group of people,” said Chief of Patrol Fred Waller. “They take advantage of that opportunity, and they shoot into a crowd, no matter who they hit.”

Mayor Emanuel became visibly emotional while speaking on the Windy City’s South Side Monday, saying “We have a heavy heart. Our souls are burdened.”

“What we saw this weekend, it just rips at everything that I believe in,” added Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson.

The press conference came just hours after the city struggled to come to terms with a stunning spike in violence in a small 48-hour period, with 12 people dead and over 70 injured in gang warfare throughout Chicago.

Anti-gun protesters shut-down a major highway in the nation’s third-largest city Thursday, creating traffic chaos as Chicago police scrambled to contain the mass demonstrations.

According to the Associated Press, the planned march in the Windy City effectively stopped traffic along Lake Shore Drive, with demonstrators telling local news they’re “willing to be arrested” to highlight the region’s spiraling crime crisis.

“I’m hoping we have enough to…block traffic, to be a disruptive force” said one of the event’s organizers. “This is an act of civil disobedience.”

“You want to go where they chill out and relax,” he added.
