J-Fed and Craig Delamore bandied a whole bunch of BS about yesterday on WBBM's "At Issue" program. Most amusing was the portion where Delamore pointed out that since the Heller decision came down from the US Supreme Court, Washington DC has experienced a 25% reduction in it's homicide numbers. That's not even with concealed carry - that's just being allowed to have a gun in your home.
J-Fed hemmed and hawed and tried to claim it was a combination of circumstances like trends and "smarter" policing, anything to distract from the fact that the only significant change in circumstances was citizens being restored their rights via the Supreme Court.
Then there was the entire segment about the Lopez demotion. J-Fed is running with the story that this was a "voluntary" change after careful consideration and meetings with Lopez about 025 being the only district in the city to experience an increase in crime statistics. Seeing as how Lopez started an alternate police organization to challenge the status quo and was making political waves since his previous demotion, one would have to be blind not to see the storm clouds in the making. And we suppose being told you would be traveling an extra 20 miles a day to and from work, on midnights, using your own gas and car might have an impact on your "voluntary" decision. This is Shortshanks' Chicago after all.
Someone want to find Lopez and get his side of the story? Or is there some future patronage spot in his future to keep him quiet? And if so, where does that leave everyone else whose name is on those flyers posted around the stations? Are they casualties of war or what?
As of this writing, the At Issue podcast wasn't up yet, but it should be shortly - if you get a chance, go listen to the whole thing.
