Chicago Tries Band-Aid Approach To Stem Bloodbath

BPR

Democrat-controlled Chicago has come up with at least a partial solution, albeit sad and weak, to the epidemic of deadly gun crime that turns almost every weekend into a municipal bloodbath.

Officials are installing 400-plus, wall-mounted bleeding control kits in nearly 300 public buildings in the Windy City as well as at medical clinics, senior facilities, and possibly subway stations and parks. The kits are evidently meant to be used as a stopgap measure before EMTs arrive to render treatment to victims.

“Each of the kits contain enough supplies to treat eight victims, with tourniquets, gauze, shears, gloves and an instruction manual,” NBC Chicago reported about the initiative. More

  1. Give it a couple of weeks and the kits will all be vandalized. When they are needed, the people trying to use one will find it empty and useless. You can’t bandage stupid.

  2. Chicago never asks for a recount. Sure, they’re pretty much a buncha assholes running the place, but maybe if they had honest elections, there’d be less of said assholes. You don’t know unless you try, Illinois.

  4. Kits are $500 a piece and bought with a federal grant.

    Even if the kits aren’t vandalized, if a person was operating a drug gang and knows that upwards of 8 gunshot victims, wouldn’t it make sense to operate your street side drug business within easy reach of a medical kit in case of drive by? I wonder how many business owners are going to want these kits on their street?

  5. When a gangbanger shoots a rival gang member, what do you think they will do when a passerby tries to save their victim. The gangs will put a bullet in the do-gooder. After all, the gangs hate the police because they interfere with the gangs killing one another.

  6. Bleeding from the head? No worries, a TQ on the neck’ll stop it!

    Seriously, the tourniquets are just stupid. They’ll steal them and use them to torture their rivals. The one thing they WON’T do is apply them properly, and will probably crush joints, damage nerves, ligate veins, and generally do more harm than good.

    At least step up to a pressure bandage. There’s a SLIM chance an untrained illiterate gang banger could figure it out, and it’s a bit more desinged for the task…

    They don’t mind going afte4 squads either. Had a guy blowing lights with us why we were transporting a guy who wasn’t too forthcoming about his wounds, figured it was a family member and called the County to have LEO pick him off before someone got hurt.

    Good choicr, because it turned out to be guys who were disappointed he lived and were following us to finish the job at the hospital.

  9. Like AnonTrooper said, while figuring out what to do, a gunshot or knife victim could bleed out. Also, you can bet none of those expensive kits will last a week after being installed.
    All them will be stolen, sold or destroyed. Mayor Lizardface strikes again.

    Hope Supernightshade -SNS reads this libtard story. Love to hear if he has any experiences with this kind of Demwit woke, worthless “medical emergency” government grifting scam.

    Those damned guns! Committing crimes in Chicago?
    Why don’t they pass a law forbidding guns to commit crimes?
