A Stern Warning

That's what's being given to a certain segment of Chicago. By the police.

Working from a list of people deemed most likely to become shooters or victims, a Chicago Police commander is expected to start knocking on their doors Friday and deliver letters warning them not to commit any violent crimes.

Hallelujah!  The crime rate in Chicago is finally going to start down!  Because THEY'VE BEEN WARNED!

  3. Great...now I have a dust bunny stuck between my incisors due to my jaw hitting the floor for a significant amount of time while reading that link. Just like making more laws, giving the tangos a "stern warning" that breaking the law is "bad...go sit in the corner", this will do absolutely nothing except confirm to those inclined to not follow laws that the police forces designated to enforce said laws are a sad, inept, bumbling, and thoroughly contemptible milquetoast force that is laughable at best. This will not end well.

  5. I apologize in advance, but this made me audibly laugh.
    Does that make me a bad person?

  7. He knows when you've been sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows when you've been bad or good, so be good, for goodness' sake!

  8. I can't even put any credibility in this... Sigh... They KNOW these people are criminals, and they can get these letters to them, but they can't seem to find them to arrest them??? WTF???

  10. @Rev, Keads, RabidAlien, Matt, k59, Rick, Bob, Old NFO, Tam - This is one of those things where I laughed but also felt sorta sick that any adult would think this would actually change anything.
