Wanna Win a Million Bucks? Gotta Act Fast

HT/ Mel

WGN –

One million dollars is being offered for the best idea to combat youth violence in Chicago.

The University of Chicago crime lab is working with the MacArthur Foundation and Get In Chicago to find solutions for the complex issue.

Chicago has a higher percentage of young homicide victims than the national average.

The deadline for letters of interest are due on Monday.

The awards will be announced in May and could be up and running in Chicago by this summer.

  1. Make personal Concealed Carry mandatory for the entire state of Illinois’ population and make this a mandatory requirement for being able to vote in all future elections.

    No CCW, no vote.

  2. The answer is quite simple, but really, who wants to listen anyway…..

    “If my people, which are called by my name, (believers) shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; THEN I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will HEAL their land.” 2 Chronicles. 7:14

    …and for those of you who understand grace, there is;

    “For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. 2 Cor. 1:20

  3. At this point, what difference does it make? Where are the echoes of “black lives matter”?

    Typical libtard response – create the problem in the first place then throw money at the problem to “fix” it.

  4. Throw all the perps in jail, and throw away the key.
    Or just shoot them.
    Either way, the thugs will go somewhere else.

    Second best idea: Stop all benefits checks and EBT cards if you live in the state of IL, IN, WI, etc.

  5. Put something in the water to turn every person in Chicago from whatever color their skin is to white. Everyone is white. For a week.

    They won’t know who to hate.

  6. In my humble opinion there would be far less crime if we allowed God and the Ten Commandments back into our schools.
    That, and as “anon” says Bring back the draft. Also cut the minimum wage and allow small businesses to hire kids over 12 to work at jobs and learn something, anything, over the long summer months. Let them work at the Mall instead of just “hanging out.”

    That’s it. Who do I collect my million from?

  7. Bring back the stocks from colonial times and put a criminal youth in one on every street corner. Then if that doesn’t work, public hangings. It’s the only message they would get.

    Note to silent regressives trolling the site. This is not a dog whistle post. I don’t give a crap what race a thug is. A thug is a thug in my book period.

  8. HELLO! Gentrify. It works all over the country. Buy a couple thousand apartment complexes outside Shitcago and turn them into Section 8 housing. At the same time, shut down all Section 8 housing in Shitcago.
