Chicago "getting tough on crime"...again...

http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/04/26/chicago.violence.ap/index.html

It seems that violence is so bad in Chicago, IL that they've determined they have a "killing season" going on right now. The decision has been made to increase police patrols throughout the streets of Chicago, as well as using a helicopter, and even opening more churches to protect people from gunfire.

Here's a good question, what's going to happen when somebody sneaks into one of the churches and opens fire on the unarmed churchgoers and kills them? What good will the police be if they can't get there in time? Chicago is an awfully big place, they don't have nearly enough police and SWAT members to cover every city block.

If Chicago wants to put a permanent end to their season of death, they need to stop blaming guns for all their problems and start blaming the people that're actually doing the killing.
