Rahm Beats Up on the French
Telling the truth about Rahm's fair (adopted) city is frowned upon:
- When Rahm Emanuel wants to rant, he'll rant. But when it comes to the French, the Chicago mayor is biting his tongue... well, sort of.
Recent reports revealed a warning to citizens of France on areas to avoid during travels to the United States, including parts of Chicago.
The warning was highlighted on the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, and suggested visitors "evite el West Side et le sud de la ville apres la 59eme rue," or "avoid the West Side and the south of the city after 59th Street."
When asked about his reactions France's warning, Emanuel simply said, "Don't get me started on the French."
So Rahm is looking to join the illustrious ranks of those who have walked over the French, including the Romans, England, Turkey, Switzerland, Spain, Denmark, Holland, the Holy Roman Empire, Germany, Russian, Austria, Haiti (Haiti?), Portugal, Sweden, Mexico, Italy, Vietnam and Algeria. Well done Rahm!
In the meantime, four people were shot today:
In the meantime, four people were shot today:
- two on the 1200 block of West 73rd Street
- one on the 9500 block of South Wentworth Avenue
- and another on the 7100 block of South Emerald Avenue
All of which just happen to be south of 59th Street....but don't let that dissuade the tourists.

What's the big deal?? This is what the US State Department say's about travel to France…
"Caution is required throughout France when driving through economically depressed areas where there is a high incidence of “smash and grab” robberies. Thieves will approach a vehicle that is stopped in traffic, smash a window, reach into the vehicle to grab a purse or other valuable item, and then flee. Keep doors locked and valuables out of sight."
Sounds just like Michigan Avenue to me...
if a tourist comes to chicago and gets shot or robbed that is economic gdp growth that can be touted as good, creating much needed jobs and all that jazz.
it's not broken windows crime fighting in chicago, it's broken windows economics under keynes.
war is known as creative destruction and seen as a good thing for the economy. so homicides are good to these politicians.
just look at all that obamacare money from the other 49 states that is headed chicago's way each time a body is taken to the er or the morgue.
of course when you get down to it all it's nothing more than a stealth tax, a transfer of wealth not to the poor but to the top of the heap.
enriching the rich, using 'the children' as a front organization for the political corrupt criminals.
create another crisis -- play the victim and wait for the masses to do something, anything...because it's better then what you have now.
it's how you use a crisis. it's how third world dictators rule.
create the crisis like the chicago homicide crisis of 2012, then spend the next four years boasting how crime is down after you took office comparing numbers to the crisis year.
never mind that the homicide body count is no better than what it was in 20011, 2010, 2009, 2008. just keep putting that 2012 peak out there that you created attempting to show the masses how so much better things are since your initiatives.
thank god social media is uncovering all this political propaganda. the bought and paid for corporate media cannot go bankrupt fast enough.
only the nsa can regain control of the public talking points via censorship. time will tell if that will be successful tho.
mainstream media is dying .
Rham is our little Napoleon, and hes taking us to Waterloo.
Viva Francais mon amigo!
Mancow seez non non non to Chiraque.
In the meantime FOP has been destroyed from within there is absolutely nothing left.
Dude also was killed in 020 last night. At 4830 n Lincoln. The French shouldn't go there either.
Rahm! show those french. Take your wife Friday nite for a stroll or bike ride from 79th and Yates to Kedzie then north to 63rd and east to Ashland and south to 95th. No Armed Security or Cameras. Enjoy the Culture.
Apparently Rahm believes the French SHOULD be shot in Chicago...
It's hard to argue that point.
But WTF is worth seeing on the west side or south of 59th street anyway. That's like telling people not to visit the City garbage dump too!
that's all fucked up ...
one should never go south of MADISON
Go Cubs.
why would any tourist go to any of those places anyway?
At least the French have the balls to stand up to Iran unlike Rahm's former boss and buddy in the White House.
They forgot "the mag mile", you know those roving throngs of "youth" , who, by the way, come from the west side and south of 59th st.
The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, and all persons in their right minds, should advise their people to avoid going anywhere in the city of Chicago, but especially the entire south and west sides.
Hey TD 9.5, would you let your wife and children visit the south or west sides without their security detail?
No?
Thought so, but then why would you allow innocent people, of any location, country or nationality, to think they could safely visit the same areas?
Because you are a scumbag, that's why. Fuck you TD 9.5, you are a piece of shit.
What's the big deal?
There are no tourist spots south of 59th Street. Nowhere south of 59th Street caters to tourists, so the south side there is not really missing anything.
Unless you include Hide-from-reality Park, which some claim is the home of POTUS.
Speaking of which, I hate when he says he is "from" Chicago. He did not grow up here. He did not go to grade school or high school here, he did not travel on the Green Limousine everyday for any amount of time to get from A to B. Just because you move here in your 30s, does not make you "from Chicago."
While I am at it, he claimed during his first run at the White House that he was qualified for the job because he had experience as a "community organizer" in Altgeld Gardens. Well is Altgeld Gardens any better off today because of his organizing there? I hardly think so. I hope the U.S.A. fares better that Altgeld when he is through with his run.
For once the French are correct.
Don't the French know that they are to abide by Political Correctness too??
Hell, the French were being very generous in setting 59th street as the south boundary. It should be Roosevelt road.
Once I got stuck on the dan ryan L and missed the Chinatown stop. As the L pulled into another station further south, an elderly lady pulled out her Bible and said, "you are with me, and you will be ok". She told me to follow her and we got off the L to await the northbound train. As I got on the train she told me I would be ok. I didn't know or see what she saw, but it probably wasn't good. Ever since that time I vowed to return the favor to a stranger. Needless to say I was going into the French danger sector.
From the online Sun-Times.
Emanuel argued that tourists who adhere to the French government advisory and remain cloistered downtown will be “missing out on what makes Chicago so unique, which is our neighborhoods and our communities and the people [who] live in ’em.”
What makes Chicago unique, does he mean the killing, shooting, and robbing?
All professional victims are welcomed.
Someone should come up with a ghetto tour bus for tourists and have it drive through the south side ghettos at night to see how the savages live. I can just hear the tour guide now on 63rd and halsted..
".. and if you look out your window to your left you will see members of the gangster disciples giving someone a pumpkin head"
Make the tour like jurassic park. Ha!
Actually you don't wanna go past 47th street
"...Emanuel argued that tourists who adhere to the French government advisory and remain cloistered downtown will be “missing out on what makes Chicago so unique, which is our neighborhoods and our communities and the people [who] live in `em.”
— C'mon down... just don't use your iPhone on the CTA (Metro, to you touristas) or anywhere around the 'cloistered' Michigan Ave. but it doesn't matter where in this city you visit.
Mancow & The French are correct in their recent Chicago assessment. And if she could, so would Natasha McShane.
That uniqueness is filling the jail system and the politicos don't like it. Get used to uniqueness.
Hell must have frozen over as I'm with Tiny Dancer on this one. The French have no room to talk about 'dangerous No-Go areas'.
Some may not know this -- you 'guys' have other stuff to worry about on a daily basis -- but many-many areas (neighborhoods) of Paris and France in general are absolute No-Go Zones for Parisians, all Jews, and White Tourists in general. These are in the 'Immigrant areas' (public housing projects) where the fine folks from North Africa and Middle East (Muslims) have moved in taken over as their own (Demographics strikes again).
The areas are so dangerous that Paris Cops don't patrol in most of the areas any longer (I have pity for the 'Infidel' who may wander in by mistake). And when 'the youths' Riot (it's always 'the youths' isn't it?...weird?) the Paris Police just set up a perimeter and watch them burn their neighborhood to the fucking ground. And not to exaggerate but these 'immigrant areas' make Englewood look like goddam Disney Land.
The riots by thse Muslim 'youths' are an annual occurrence now, so much so US coverage is now spotty at best. They're always in August, the hottest month in Paris when everyone is on holiday. And 'the youths' always give the same excuse that they riot because they 'have no jobs' and are 'discriminated against'. Sounds all too familiar doesn't it. (the pisser is that compared to any other country, Welfare in France is like hitting the Mega Lotto)
Bottom line, France can go fuck themselves (and take a goddamn bath once in a while).
anyone see the story on Oeiley,Megan Kelly, Greta Van Susteren about the Obama hoodie children new craze "KNOCKOUT" this is where these little honeys target white people punching them in the face trying to knock them out.I just wanted to let the liberals on the gold coast,downtown,and wrigleyville know that in shitcago its called "BASHING" and do you think this would be a hate crime hate crime,yea right.GOOD LUCK TOURIST in SHITCAGO.

You are WAY too fucking deep.
I am so embarrassed to be a chicagoan. This mayor is a completete fool and an incompetent leader. He needs to asap.
wow... coming from a guy that wears a tu tu?
The French are always right...Remember weapons of mass destruction, how about that doping Lance Armstrong? They are sure more honest about our condition than Rahm's deny, deny deny. The police department has all the manpower it needs and I am doing whatever I can to stop the violence that doesn't exist. My carpetbagging police supt. was not bought in from out of town to dismantle this police department, he is the finest cop I could find anywhere. Smile, believe the bullshit and be happy you peons, I knoiw better than you.
http://thehill.com/video/administration/188794-rahm-emanuel-heads-are-spinning-over-obamacare-website
Interesting interview Rahm says we need a more effective US Attorney and States Attorney. Still won't bash Daley or Obama though.
This mayor is such a joke! From his policy to the way he acts in public., from the way he acted on Letterman to now. Typical asshole, ignore facts you little shit. How do we not see this as voting public! Wake up!
Tiny dancer wants to show off the CTA terminal at 95th & the Dan Ryan. Make sure you bring the family around 3:00 Monday-Friday and for no extra charge you can observe 15-20 future G.E.D. Teens punch, kick, yell profanity and show off their boxers while their school pants are down to the knees.
'mainstream media is dying'
this just in.
Tribune Co. reorganizes publishing unit, cutting nearly 700 jobs
people want more then regurgitated political propaganda press releases containing lies and twisted facts.
r.i.p chicago tribune, wgn...
oh yeah, and tell us again on how 'homicides in chicago are down' when compared to 2012. never mind that there are no meaningful statistical differences in the numbers when compared to 2011, 2010, 2009.. before the homicide spike crisis that was created via new initiatives.
can you see the mayors re-election campaign already -- '...since my time in office we have reduced homicides by 20 percent in chicago when compared to 2012...'
yes, focus your attention on the crisis that we've created so we can use it.
For comparison, how many deployed combat troops in Afghanistan were shot today?
If it wasn't for our fathers and/or grandfathers these assholes would be speaking german today !!!!!!
What's it like to have to live every day of your life never being able to speak honestly and just not be afraid of the truth?
Everyone who travels asks around for basic facts about the city they plan to visit in order to be better prepared and aware of their surroundings.
who hasn't asked, "where's the bad neighborhoods?" in order to avoid the risks of finding yourself and your family somewhere foreign and, perhaps, dangerous to outsiders unfamiliar with local realities?
If France were being brutally honest, they'd also warn their travelers to be extra cautious in and around the Gold Coast area, or anywhere they see a convergence of large groups of young, black mobs, as these groups have been solely responsible for the attacks and "multiple offender incidents" that landed even doctors leaving Northwestern right back in their own emergency rooms.
Sadly, the sick and stubborn arrogant minds of Preckwinkle, Dart, Duncan, Obama, and Emmanuel, celebrate when homicides finally happen in places like Lincoln Square. This means their plan to spread the undesirable element has taken effect.
A resident quoted on the news stated in her 30 plus years of living in the area she had never heard of anything like that happening so close to her home. Yet, certain people celebrate that "nicer areas" should also feel the anxiety that exists on the south and west side, for the sake of equality because no one should feel better than anyone else.
I'm certain black leaders and politicians in Chicago wonder why so many black young people don't kill non-blacks more often than they turn the violence on each other.
Look at the Tribune's city beat mug shot photos and you'll see who does the killing every day in Chicago.
Coming soon to every neighborhood near you...
Rahm, Common Core, Obamacare, and the changes to the Juvenile Detention Center and processing of minors, as well as the expansion of K-12 state mandates planned by Dems to include 3 and 4 year olds for all day involuntary required attendance in pre-school... these all spell increased control by a government hellbent on social engineering agendas.
How is he going to spin that comment when he runs for pres.
Rahm the idiot makes his little speech while surrounded by security.
Hey Rahm STF up and all around!
This whole country is screwed!
Why denigrate the country that invented the blow job and the french fry? Vive la France !
On the topic of crime, a commenter on another post stated that carrying a weapon on CTA premises would only be an "ordinance violation", thus not prosecuted any other way if I have my paperwork in order. Is that true? So I can carry on a train and worst case I'll be fined for an "ordinance violation"? How fabulous! Please tell me that is true!
I welcome some little shitbird to play the "knock out game" with me..I'll play the "Bernard Goetz vigilante" game instead!

I hear ya. Now I tell everyone I'm from Detroit.
The sympathy I get is tremendous. Tell someone your from chitcago and they ask, what's going on with all the killings?
Swan Lake thinks that comment from the French website makes him look bad (guilt complex). But he thinks he is good at twisting right back at the French. What an immature dickwad.
--No Cop Here
Ah the French, they fight with their feet and fuck with their face.
I've been telling people to avoid the West and South Sides since the Washington administration.
I always had to apologize to visitors about the deplorable condition of our potholed,
un-repaired unplowed unsalted streets. But don't all those trees looks nice just don't mind all the gangbangers and gunfire.
I meet and greet and give tours to a lot of foreign P.O.s and they are always amazed at the potential of violence and that we carry guns all the time. When I go visiting them they think we are still in the Al Capone era.
Just A Citizen says: I for one don't care how much he tries to sell this city. It's a disaster. The trash have invaded the last remaining good neighborhoods and there isn't a damn thing anyone can do about it since everyone is too damn scared to speak the truth. This festival of lights thing should be interesting this weekend. Does below freezing temps keep the trash indoors or will we have a repeat of last years stabbing at the Westin? Only time will tell I guess. Stay safe all you Officers. God bless.

Remember weapons of mass destruction?
the premise for the long held liberal Bush-bashing was "no WMD found,"
But, to be accurate, there were WMD found in Iraq, on more than a few occasions, weapons that indeed matched the criteria as that which was internationally banned.
Obama is embroiled in yet another act of bungling and bumbling with respect to catering to Russian take over of the diplomatic quagmire of Syria, which according to several intelligence sources, and even former Saddam generals, housed much of the chemical weapons withheld by Iraq from the lazy searches of U.N weapons inspectors.
Imagine G.W. Bush is the police about to enter a house on a warrant...but due to political pressure, the police allows the ACLU to go in to the house first, to let a known and convicted felon and drug dealer have "one last chance," to voluntarily give up his contraband...
would you be surprised if the ACLU's search team came out and announced that there not only were no drugs in the house and you had no business there, but that you should be ashamed and embarrassed to have even thought of going in?

Well, they're damned wrong.
We are not 'still' in the Al Capone era. We have RETURNED to the Al Capone era.

All the bullshit about Syria and the chem weapons and the Russians etc. occurred because of one walking away comment made by asshole John Kerry as he was leaving a room and thought he'd be flip with a reporter's question and shouted a bullshit answer. They printer and broadcast that answer and stuck it to Kerry and the US. Kerry doesn't know enough to use the hand up to the ear think and say "I can't hear you, have a nice day."
What a fucking idiot Kerry is, and that moron ran for president?
Is it true Rahmn hired back 3 mayor Daley graffiti buster drivers to handle the non stop graffiti on Soto
Schloosh to be new commander of 11 announcement next Friday! Brutal
Not sure why Tiny would want tourists visiting the West/South sides. A shot tourist does not help the bring in more tourists.
SSC I do have a disagreement with your OP about the Mexicans beating the French. Yes, in the Battle of Pueblo ( honored nowadays as Cinco de Mayo) a huge Mexican force beat a small contingent of French troops. But this PO'ed the French to come over and take over Mexico for a number of years. But with Mexico being pretty much useless and a drain on the French economy. the French just packed up and left.
who would want to go to france--- hairy-legged women all over who don't use deodorant--- la peeeeew--- but thank you for the croissant and very smelly tasty cheese--- by the way, when are you going to pay us all the money you still owe from world war II when we ran the krauts out of your country....

Brilliant move, that'll teach the alder slug and revruns!
Would it be considered treason if I enjoy a few French fries for lunch?
yes alot of people get shot here but any french?
A lot of your respondents ask why any tourist would go south of 59th Street. There actually are tourist guides that publish "go-to" places for things like "soul food" that are located on Chi-town's south side. No domestic tourist would go there, of course, and I'm sure that once a visiting Frenchman sees the area, he will (try) to turn around and get the heck out - fast! His efforts may be impeded by gunfire or a gang of honor students seeking redress from the French for poverty imposed by slavery. Nonetheless, foreign visitors don't know how bad "bad" can be.
To mr.12:47 am. Please, please consult a history book or encyclopedia so that you do not embarrass yourself regarding you ignorance of 19th century geoplitics. Oh wait...i get it, that is why you failed to list your identity, but instead chose to hide behind an anonymous identity.
Similar to what an above poster wrote about France and Mexico.
Some historians glorify the Haitian ouster of the French as oppressed people defeating a strong empire. The reality was the black Haitians went on a frenzy killing whites. Napoleon, the then French Emperor, recognized that France had little to gain by maintaining control of Haiti and just walked away.
Haiti has been a shithole ever since and probably always will.
welcome, America, to the beginning of the end of America, with a socialist president.....unless, the American voters wake up....

Au contraire, mon frère.
French fried potatos are a culinary inventention of the Belgians, the Flemms, after the introduction of the potatos, pommes de terre from Peru.
As far as the blow job, falacio, you can find that goes back to the ancient Romans who conquered Gaul which is now France.
This been your history lesson for the day. Tomorrow what is the connection between soddomy, the current Chicago Mayor and the ancient Philestines.
I never go south of Madison, Barney!
Maybe we could go to my place for some of my famous white wine spritzers after a Cub game.
