NOTE: Don't forget these Mayoral brainstorms of 2012

Back in June of 2012 our wonderful Mayor hired the gangbanger group Ceasfire (No playing)  for 1 million dollars to try to decrease shootings and homicides...

 

Then our wonderful Mayor hired the "Bucket Boys" as a shooting early warning system....

 

Mayor Emanuel at an early Sunday new conference, explained that after spending $1 million dollars to hire the violence interceptor group Ceasefire, which tries to mediate violence before it occurs, part two of his violence reduction plan will be the spending of $1 million dollars to hire the community early warning group "The Bucket Boys". Explaining that just like Ceasefire, "The Bucket Boys" will not snitch on anyone but, instead upon becoming aware of imminent violence in a community, will beat out a war drums rhythm on their buckets, thereby giving the community early warning of the impending violence. Mayor Emanuel stressing the city's commitment to reducing violence said, the hiring of "The Bucket Boy" was the first of its kind in the country.

 

Finally the Mayor comes up with a fool proof solution to totally eliminate Chicago's homicide problem

The city along with the Federal government and Plan Apparent in da Hood, have joined forces to totally eliminate homicides in Chicago from this day forward. From now on, all violent deaths in the city of Chicago will now be classified as late- late term abortions. After all, we support a community's right to choose and our commitment to women's and community's rights shall never waiver, thank you."

Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Satire- a literary work holding up human vices and follies to ridicule or scorn. 2. : trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly.

Why was this story believable?
Because in our backwards world you could see the following things happening...

When informed by Police spokeswoman Anita Dix that the suspects were not flagging him down and therefore there was no crime committed.
Police making every effort to kill crime? yep...

Spokeswoman Anita Dix also related that the suspects were four males who appeared to be between 17 to 21 years old. Their race could not be determined because they had their faces covered.
Police and media refusing to release the race on crime suspects? Happens all the time with the Police and news media.....

A person gets robbed, murdered or shot in this city?
Happens every day....

A person gets robbed, murdered or shot in Englewood?
The map is the only real part of the story, Englewood is approximately 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 miles and it's loaded with violence, robbery and murder.

 

If the "Cash Cab" ever really ventured into Englewood, what would be his chances of getting robbed?

Its called SATIRE you dumb asses and you're precisely why Chicago is F-up. To many dumb asses, this city is filled with dumbassity.

Note if you fools really want to get your panty in a knot see this other bit of CIC satire- If you didn't book a Chicago Safari adventure with us this 4th of July weekend this is what you missed
