As if we don’t have enough intervention in the streets of America by the Federal government, longtime race-baiter Jesse Jackson urged Barack Obama to head back to the streets of Chicago and stop the violence by ordering the Department of Homeland Security to conduct street patrols.
Before a march on the city’s South Side, Jackson, a former Democratic presidential candidate, said America’s third most populous city needed more help than Mayor Rahm Emanuel and police superintendent Garry McCarthy could offer.
“When the president shows up, it shows ultimate national seriousness,” said Jackson, a Chicago resident. He also called for the US Department of Homeland Security to help patrol the streets of Chicago.
Jackson led nearly 150 people on a march from Martin Luther King Jr College Prep High School, where Pendleton was a student, to the park where she died a few blocks away.
“My greatest fear about the gun violence in Chicago is that we’re adjusting to it,” he said.
The 2005 USA Patriot Improvement and Reauthorization Act passed by Congress, however, established a “permanent police force” subject to the “supervision of the Secretary of Homeland Security.” According to the legislation, this new federal police force is empowered to “make arrests without warrant for any offense against the United States committed in their presence, or for any felony cognizable under the laws of the United States if they have reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing such felony.”
“The language conveys enormous discretionary and arbitrary powers,” former Reagan Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Paul Craig Roberts, wrote in 2006. “Like every law in the US, this law also will be expansively interpreted and abused… Who is going to hold accountable a federal police protected by Homeland Security and the president?”
The Obama administration has yet to respond to Jackson’s demand. However, as gang-related violence in Obama’s hometown and elsewhere continues to claim lives and dominate headlines, it is entirely possible the federal government may directly intervene in Chicago as part of its effort to attack the Second Amendment and further meddle in local law enforcement duties under the hysterical cover of putting an end to “gun violence.”
Jackson had already gone on record with the Wall Street Journal in an interview that was posted January 30, 2013 and claimed that those “anti-government people” espousing what he called “Confederate ideology” would engage in terrorist activities unless the government enacts laws restricting one’s ability to possess firearms.
While there are some out there who are clearly “anti-government,” most of us simply want the Federal government to live within the boundaries our forefathers set. They are not content to do that and so continually are calling them to do so. That is not “anti-government.” That is demanding that they abide by the law.
Jackson’s use of the term “Confederate ideology” is simply short hand for those who believe in the Tenth Amendment, or State’s rights, including the use of nullification of Federal laws in order to adhere to the Constitution.
He also called those of us that believe in the Second Amendment “domestic terrorists” with the ability to “do something” in our fight against a “tyrannical government.”
Well friends, I’ll say it again, I have never advocated violent revolution, nor did the founding fathers, but I certainly will encourage people to step up and act responsibly when it comes to engaging the real domestic enemies of the Constitution lawfully and peacefully. If attacked though, don’t think there will not be a defensive play made by those who love liberty and desire to see the law followed. While we seek peace, it is those like Jackson and Obama who are set on bringing the violence to the people of the United States.
I would ONLY agree to having federal agents-military patrolling high crime areas if they put gangs on the domestic terrorists list and treated them accordingly. Use those agents to remove gangs from this planet enmass. I dont care if its ms13, bloods-crips, yakusa or nazi-wannabes. Crime rates would drop I bet. I know this would involve that dirty word PROFILING but hey how many grandmas you know running the corners in your neighborhood?
I find it amazing that the government can declare 2nd amendment supporters as bad or dangerous yet they do nothing to remove the gangs that are overrunning our inner-cities and adjacent urban areas and creating huge pockets of crime and decay.
Yeah I know, Obama would loose his voter base and we just cant have that can we.
No doubt. Great idea. Take all the DHS goons, do something worthwhile with them, and leave the rest of us the hell alone. Then again, logic seems to indicate the gangs would have been gone long ago if that were the objective. Strange world. Or perhaps not.
Police are being funded and hired by DHS, it not going to work that way, but it will give us new targets to shoot at. Unless they are in the high crime areas (doubt it). They will use cops to setup road blocks not the US military (NATO) or (foreign soldiers) Theres not enough to do that, but plenty of cops. Watch the video on youtube for incite and up to date shit happening called. For those who missed out, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y126en2oMCA
The Homesec police will be recruited from neighborhood toughs and gangs. This will not be about stopping crime. It’s about the rise of the new “brown shirts”, starring Obama as Hitler.
This is like oil and water, the 2 do not mix. Gangs are about urban terrorism, a useful pawn in the war to disarm American law abiding citizens. As things across this country deteriorate the only defense we will have is armed citizens patrolling their own streets. Look at the rioting in London, the citizens who took to the streets with baseball bats, 2×4′s and broom handles stopped the looting on their streets, those that called the police were trashed. The DHS is NOT out to defend you or me from thugs, it is about control of the population through a false sense of security. It takes men & women of action to defend their property from crime, the best a police force can do is investigate the crime, not prevent it. If you call 911 and it takes 45 minutes for a response where do you think the criminals will be, in you living room waiting for the cops?
If the street gangs were dealt with then who would peddle the poison for the CIA, and govt backed drug cartels? If this source of cash dried up how would Black Ops be funded? Not to mention the stats from gang violence is their number one reason to try and take our firearms. Our govt is the problem.
You would think as a pastor old JJ would know what Jesus said in Luke 22:36! Jesus told them to ” sell your coat and get a sword”! In modern terms a ” firearm”! He knew they would need it! I guess old JJ forgot that!! POS!! Good to see he had a great following of 150?!! Third largest city in the US, and all ya could get was 150?!! Pretty much says it all!! Just pathetic JJ!!!
A lot of good points were brought up here, but the best among them (IMHO) was why aren’t drug cartels, gangs, etc., who are known “terrorists” not dealt with aggressively by our government who is supposed to be of the people, for the people? Homeland Security… sounds like an organization who would keep our homes safe for us ALL, but clearly that is not their real role and function – if it was, they’d leave law-abiding citizens alone (law abiding via the constitution/bill of rights, not some arbitrary laws they seem fond of making up that violate those principles) period and aggressively go after the drug dealing violent segment of society? Me thinks our tax dollars are not being well spent… at least not in the best interest of the 99%.

Its getting close, many of us can feel it.

Maybe they should have the Curtis “Iron Ass” LeMay perspective on the whole Chicago gang issue.
Jesse is a boob, as is his son.

Stand up for yourselves or become corpses!

No need to patrol the streets. Dont they know where criminals and gang members live. Most are on parole.
