Definitely recommended with Tricky Dicky Daley. Hilarity ensues.
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.”
How does this assclown (heh…I said ass) keep getting reelected? (Yeah, I know. Vote early, vote often, vote the graveyard.)
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.
Yeah, unrestricted (illegal) guns in the hands of criminals…not legal guns in the hands of citizens. Daley isn’t smart enough to understand the difference. Or he is, and he likes things in Chicago just fine the way they are. Either way, damn glad I don’t live defenseless in Chicago.
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.”
The real tragedy is that normal citizens can’t protect themselves from outlaws in the People’s Republic of Illinois, Daley Fiefdom of Cook County. To coin a phrase, Dicky boy, if guns are outlawed, don’t be surprised when outlaws are the only ones who have guns. You can’t have it both ways.
