Welcome to France

Long time readers might remember we occasionally cover international stuff. Years ago, we mentioned the "banlieues." or suburban areas of France that were essentially "no-go" zones for police, areas controlled by illegal muslim gangs and routinely exploding in riots.

Well Congratulations have to go out to Conehead, Fata$$, Smelling, Groot, Prickwrinkle, Dart, Evans, all the way back to the 9.5 Digit Midget. You have aided and abetted the beginnings of the first ever No-Go Zone in Chicago:

• Four members of the [latin bitches] gang are said to be behind bars following an ambush attempt on a Chicago Police Department (CPD) vehicle, while authorities continue to search for one more suspect, according to a source familiar with the incident.

  The police source confirmed that charges have not yet been filed in the ongoing investigation and that law enforcement is aware of the identity of the remaining suspect.

  According to the source, what's being described as an "ambush" on police was premeditated and comes a week after an anonymous warning call received by the 10th District.

  The caller, believed to be connected with the [latin bitches], reportedly declared a "war" on law enforcement, stating that they would target officers due to the increased pressure from police crackdowns in Little Village, an area known for heavy gang activity and drug dealing.

Thirty years ago, the Department would run Edge Missions following an occurrence like this. Every gang member would be swept off the street and locked up. Special Operations and Gang Units would flood the area. Vice would shut down every single money-making corner for as long as it took for the morons to get the message. Former shooting galleries would be quiet for weeks on end, kids would actually be able to play in the parks, parents would thank us for locking it all down and ask why we didn't do this all the time?

The reality was CPD could do it for a little while, but the social ills were just too widespread and (to be honest) the legal issues weren't codified adequately. That type of manpower use was short term even in the heady days of the Clinton money pouring into big cities. New York had "stop and frisk," we had Edge.

But then, the pendulum swung waaaay over to the left and all sorts of restrictions were placed on the police. Again (to be honest) some were Constitutionally necessary. But it went overboard and the Police were painted as the enemy for the next few decades. That mindset took over, culminating in the "defunding" movement, based on lies, exaggerations and progressive propaganda.

The result - a beyond fetal police force, reactive only, with inadequate recruitment, even more inadequate retention, lowered standards and now, being driven out of neighborhoods, unable to respond to a challenge to lawful authority. 

Larritorious has little-to-no response available, and even if he did Conehead wouldn't let him. On the minuscule chance that Conehead allowed a police response, Fata$$, Prickwrinkle, Dart and Evans have completely limited the justice system from dishing out consequences, even if that consequence was simply an overnight in lockup.

It began under the 9.5 Digit Midget, accelerated with Groot and may be peaking with Conehead. But maybe not. If one "no-go" zone is permitted to be birthed into existence, there will be others. And the death spiral will accelerate as we pass Detroit and look more like suburban Paris.
