A Chicago politician and a community group desperate to slow the city's spiraling crime problem is begging for 12 hours a day where people don't shoot their guns.
Alder Maria Hadden, a Democrat, boosted a proposal by the group Native Sons calling for 'The People's Ordinance' - a ceasefire between 9am and 9pm.
'PROTECT THE YOUTH NO SLIDING WILE THE SUN IS OUT' reads the all-caps promo, titled United For A Safe Summer.They're asking for the refrain from gunshots to reduce risk to Chicagoans who are 'not involved in high risk activities.'
'We have to start somewhere,' Tatiana Atkins, co-founder of Native Sons, told CWB Chicago.

OMG! I thought Biden was the height of stupidity but there are so many more like him it is scarey to say the least. This person should be embarrassed to even show their face anywhere for such a stupid idea.

Moving on from criminal insanity into an alternate universe. These people can't be fixed but they certainly can be avoided.

How about armed, law abiding citizens shooting back? I predict this will need to start happening before we see a " drop in crime."

Does anyone any longer have any doubts why Chicago is in it's present position? These are the people who vote.
The reality is that they are begging the criminal element to confine their killing to the Chicago night.

This reminds me of a years ago Louisiana Senator I think Huey Long came up with the idea that there should be two highways one for good drivers and one for bad drivers.

A killing curfew. And then between 9am and 9pm, have at it.
And just when I thought I could no longer be surprised. Sigh………

While you are at it, beg them to stop committing crimes, stop abandoning their kids, and go get a job. All are equally likely to happen.

The plan is for decent people of Chicago to hurry home by sundown and stay locked inside like Carleton Heston's character in The Omega Man?

if this isn't the most ludicrous idea ever postulated by anyone, which makes this pea brain a one of a kind, which the city of chicago doesn't need at this time in its history

How about, next we have them all sign a roster and we can schedule allotted times for them to shoot each other. Then maybe we can’t install a time clock so they can punch in and out to keep track of their sprees.
Dontavius and LaMarquis are on drive by duty tonight. Xavian and his crew are on smash and grab @ 8:00.

In the same vein, perhaps the City of Chicago should open their police gun ranges to instruct gang members in marksmanship so they won't be as likely to shoot citizens accidentally when they engage in gang warfare. Better yet, remove all restrictions on carrying guns and let the citizens have an opportunity to defend themselves.

Chicago has the strictest anti-gun laws in the U.S., so is he basically acknowledging their laws don't work?

Our Laugh of the Day. What a comedian!! Maybe she should join Second City; she'd fit right in. Do these people actually listen to what comes out of their mouths? The caliber of our "leaders" has really taken a nosedive.

So you are assuming these uncontrolled animals are capable of telling time?
Good luck with that.

Reminiscent of the mid 1980’s when mayor Harold Washington declared Chicago a “nuclear-free” zone. There even was a sign to that effect along the highway as you exited O’Hare field. Blue city/state logic is never logical.

I literally laughed out loud when I read the headline. This guy is Hank Johnson level stupid.
I keep reading about kids who get injured or shot when they are out on the streets at 2am. Is this guy going to enforce a curfew?
