What a crock. We are being giving such a load of :bull$#@!: even the media is playing into all of this. Trying to tell us this garbage so that they can make people feel safe while fearmongering over loss of First Responders, and or Terrorists. It is a joke. Things don't go from a downslide to the top of the charts in less than a year. Thats what Chicago has done. Murders and violent crime. Which Emanual and the Governor Quinn were all in the news about what Chicago is now going to do about all the gang crime and violent crime.
