Chicken Rahm

People living on the west side of Michigan are attuned to Chicago, more so than Detroit.  Many people, such as me, have extolled the virtues of our proximity to Chicago.  But Chicago of recent times is becoming a place known more for its violence and its weekend murder orgies.  Tourists have been subjected to random attacks (some called "racially motivated") by urban carnivores and thugs.  The Chicago tourism people are pleading for action.
On St. Patrick's Day weekend, one week after the Trayvon Martin shooting, 10 people were murdered in Chicago, 42 were wounded.  A 6 year old girl, as she sat on a proch with her mother, had her brains splattered all over her mother from a stray bullet.  While Sharpton and Chicago-based Jesse Jackson were in Florida attempting, with their good friends and news thugs from MSNBC, to turn a Hispanic man into the Great White Whale, blood of Black people and children was splattered all over Chicago.  It now takes Chicago two weekends to accomplish what James Holmes accomplished after months of evident diligent planning.  And yet the silence of outrage is deafening.
Enter, tough guy, Little Rahm Emmanuel, who begs the thugs to "stay away from our children."  He didn't beg them to stay away from tourists.  He didn't beg them to stop slaughtering each other.
He didn't decry the fact that 84% of Black children in Chicago are born to unwed mothers.  He didn't decry the toxic culture riddled with urban pathologies like fatherlessness.  In 1959, 8% of Black children in Chicago were born to unwed mothers.
No, Little Rahm saved his testosterone for a real tough guy attack on a chicken franchise.  It seems like the chicken franchise has an owner that supports a traditional definition of marriage.  Standing up to his neck in blood, murdered children, and a runaway toxic urban culture, Little Rahm said the chicken franchise, if it didn't accept "Chicago values", it wasn't welcome. 
I am not sure anybody should accept "Chicago values", which, apparently, had their origins with Al Capone and were updated by Tony Resko and 250,000 known murderous gang members.  No, Little Rahm, you keep your Chicago values.  In fact, why don't you stick them?
